Ruminations on possibility, limits, and perseverance

I still haven't settled on the next goal!  I have been going to comps and maintaining my gripper close strength, but not much else.  This year at comps I closed 165 with 20mm block and 160 with 30mm block, so I am starting to think about 170 as a MMS goal.  Also, I think maybe I should shop for a light GHP 8 and try that.

I borrowed Tim's 126-pound Inch, which I think he said is hard for its weight, but I do have some trouble with it, so I am not very close to Inch level lifts.  I haven't been training with it though, need to get on that as well.  I've just been feeling grippers more lately.

 Am I crazy, I thought you picked up an inch replica somewhere in the 130's at Jedds one time, I rember getting a hop but no lift and then you did it. Maybe I'm mixing up weights?

Yeah, I did.  I've even done in the 140s for a quick lift, but I was in better overall form.  This past week I did a couple of 5 second holds with Tim's 126, which he says is as hard as his one in the 130s I think.  Not sure I could do much more now.

I meant it is harder than it should be, not that I couldn't lift it.

Oh good I'm glad I'm not making up feats haha. I bet in no time it'll be a piece of cake of you
