smaikelzas Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Hello, everybody, I will try my best to document my progress towards the top, which to me is getting recognized in the grip world and reaching elite strength in the 80kg class. Some current stats about me: Height: 175cm/5'9 Weight: 87kg/194lbs Hand size: ~18.5cm/7.25in Some of my main lift PRs (in training): 68mm Rolling Handle (New 60mm RGT on the way to replace it): 55kg Little Big Horn: 62kg 40mm Wooden Pinch Block (New 60mm Steel Pinch Block on the way to replace it): 28.6kg Grippers: CoC #2 1 rep Deep Set Currently specialising in grip only and getting ready to compete in January, hope to shake up the competition and bring a new me to the stage that day.

smaikelzas Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Today was my second session with a Power Roller (RGT) Last week did 48kg for 1 good rep, this week upped it to 47kgx5 reps, goal is 70kg Rolling Thunder in January, will be working with this monster handle to get more out of less weight. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzUB45-I1m0/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
