dannyboy Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 so last night i tried singles in my workout. #3 right handed i did 3 sets of singles, as expected the first set was ok and it got alot harder on the third #2 i actualy just repped out my #2 and hgot 12 reps, nothing special anyways today i picked up my #3 for my workout and got baaaaaarely 1 rep. ahahahaha i can only laugh. i guess 3 sets overtraied my hands, maaaybe. well that is a 300% increase in my training volume if you think about it. maybe ill stick to my reps for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 ok would you know that i never EVER trained forearms before, i added them to my gym routine and did them for teh first time on sunday night. now of course the first thing that goes through my mind is will this affect my grip routine. ps ive been working out for 8 years just never did forearms, i was getting a good enough workout from just doing curls i guess and also a bit of laziness. #3 right handed - was haaaard, did a DEEP set and got it shut then tried for a second rep and aaaalmost got it 220 left hand - 2 reps now this tells me either this was a BAD day or yes doing forearms the same day realy messed up my grip workout. hmmmm i have to find a way to balance these 2 workouts now.

mooinabc1 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Dannyboy: I donot do forearms as well it ruins my gripping power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 Dannyboy:I donot do forearms as well it ruins my gripping power. ← yea i know, it realy did ruin my last 3 workouts. mooinabc1 im gunna do forearms for teh next 3 weeks (1 workout a week). next time i do them i will take 2 days rest off and then continue my grippers. if i still have bad workouts caus of working my forearms ill drop the workout. its just that forearm workout felt soooo good, the pump was sweet. but like i said if it interferes with my favorite hobby (gripping) its gone.

dannyboy Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 for the past week or so i have been verly slack with my routine. i just pick up my #3 through out the day and try and crush it cold. i was getting 1 rep for a bit and yesterday i got 2 reps. my forearms are starting to feel back to normal again, boy that forearm workout killed them.

dannyboy Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 right handed - #3 - closed it fairly easily and held it shut for 22 seconds. (decided to start doing this no more than twice a week left handed - 220lb - closed it and held it shut for 27 seconds. now that was last night. today is my weekly forearm workout, and liek i said im gunna take 2 days off after to let my hands rest. so i did my gripper workout right before the gym. wasnt pretty, i baaaaarly got my #3 closed, for that matter it may have been 1 mm away, not sure. those holds the night before prob burnt me up. HOW AM NOT DO GRIP FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS??????? thats the real test!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShredder Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Nice job bro! do u still wanna get certified? btw, do u think strap holds are any good? i just tried them today so i was just wondering if there worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Nice job bro! do u still wanna get certified?btw, do u think strap holds are any good? i just tried them today so i was just wondering if there worth it. ← yea i would love to get certified, but im soooo far away from closing a #3 under the new rules. one day though, i wont give up. I used strap holds a while ago, i found they helped, but later i dropped strap holds and concentrated on negatives and overcrushes, i was getting good gains so i didnt wanna change anything ya know. but yea try some strap holds, it will be a good tool to help you out. try doing some negatives about once a week too. just crush your #1 as far as you can and hold it for as long as possible. dont do them to much or youll overtrain.

pdoire Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Danny, Forget the IM rules you may be able to go Mash Monster level 0 with a video of your close...and then start the climb up the ladder. I'd be excited as hell if I were you. Great job with that #3 by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 (edited) right hand - 220lb - 19 reps. pr left hand - #2 - 10 reps like i said, im not posting in this thread unless i have a new pr to repot. since i started consistently closing my #3 about 2 months ago i havent missed an atempt yet, BUT i have gone from getting my #3 for 4 reps to getting it for 1 rep. right now im getting it for 2 reps on average. im just basically maintaining my strength now till after xmas then im gunna kick it up a notch. Add strap holds into the mix, still gunna do low volume though. 1 set a night kinda thing. Edited December 12, 2004 by dannyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Dannyboy congrats with the 220 pounder and the 17 reps way cool. Just for fun is possible to try the 250 pounder with some twist. Just for fun counld try to desease the the 250 pounds by 2 or 3 to see how reps can you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooinabc1 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Yes I think you found something that works with the 250 negatives keep up the good work. It is good for negative since it is the same strenght as the Beef builder Super Elite but remember it is full adjsutable for it wanted a gripper that is just above the #3 ironmind. You would have edge in gripper then anyone in whole world nothbody has this 250 pounder but you. If you want I can send a 8 mm nut and skew drive for christamas if ok with you. If you can get a Beef builder super master I can Make a instant ironmind #3 1/10. Just send to me no problem or You me to buy it and customize it and send to you. There $25 plust $15 for shipping. With no add cost just $40 US or send we go halves on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
