Now it's just trying to hold on as best I can to all the "standard" feats of grip strength. My focus at the moment is a return to climbing - on our 27th and 42 anniversary my wife and I climbed Triconi Nail in the Black Hills of South Dakota - we want to do again on our 50th this year - so lots of indoor climbing going on with hang board work etc. I'm not doing much at all of Grip Sport" training. I do sort of test now and then to see where I stand on them - I've lost quite a bit but still seems to be doing OK. I do seem to be able to come back to close to where I was with some specific training. Losing more on big muscle lifts than the grip stuff. Not quite over the hill yet but coming down the other side now. I will only say one thing to you good sir.. You’re an inspiration for all of us youngsters and older people aswell Much respect to you and your wife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do 5 working sets a week, 3 reps. About every month I move down an inch on the handle. But starting last week I’m doing double sledge levering. Let’s see how it goes. Oh alright so fairly heavy then, I’ll take it slowly and see what happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll add in medium and long term and put down the million other things I would love to be able to pull off. Always an issue for me aswell, I have 1 billion goals I want to achieve.. need to take a deep breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have that in no time, I'm surprised you're not certified yet Last february I managed to close a cobalt 157*4, but my blockset is way below my deepset close. I hope to cert in a couple of months 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteinWillems1 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Grippers: Coc 3 cert Big goal is to pinch 2x 45's I think it is a cool feat. Also lift 100 kg on the rolling thunder. Haven't been training with the rolling thunder lately but I will pick it up in the future. Plus, the ultimate goal, keep enjoying and loving grip sport! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole reason I was ever interested in hand strength was from all the stories of my grandfathers strength. He was jacked. If you search my log theres a couple pictures of him. My dad and this old time mason whos about 90 now claims my grandfather could stack 6 fire brick 9 in × 4.5 in.... Like the one on the bottom, not the smaller ones on top and lift it like in my picture below. In his honor some day i'd like to lift 6 while chugging a Miller High Life. Try it it with regular brick see how many you can do. Takes incredible wrist strength.. He'd also lay 12" block all day with one arm. These days its two guys to a block that size.

It is going better slowly but steadily, I notice that a little bit more volume works best for me so that is what I am trying to do! Last october/ november I could ccs close my untrated #3 ( I think it is around 148 RGC) but due to a injury I was not really able to train hard. Now Im back at it and make gains! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
