Phil K Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Ty for the kind sentiment…just trying to get better over a long period of time LBH from IM +90, 100, 110, 115 for both hands with the LH being easier…will up this to +120 next session for that hand at least LH 3x10/ +110 RH 3x10/ +105…may repeat this as last set for both hands wasn’t as tidy as I’d like My goal here is +142.5, that’s a total of 150 + including the apparatus LH & +135 RH Might hit some volume grippers on Sunday after squatting…waiting on my CPW Pt to arrive, hopefully it’ll be about 118 on the rgc scale…at that point I’ll Have grippers all the way to 130 in 2-4lb jumps!

Phil K Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Well, After 3 decent grip sessions in a row, I had a more middle of the road session. I think I’ll take a few days off until Thursday! Grippers, using a 38mm Skeleton Key from CPW WU IM T 10, BH #1 5, BH #1.5 1, BH Standard Gold, RGC 96, 1 BH LH 4 single attempts on my GG 4, rgc 110. Best attempt was 3mm away. RH Standard Copper, RGC 103, 1 single RH 4 single attempts with my RB 240N, RGC 122. Best attempt was 3mm away. 1 forced close per hand and 15 second hold with an IM 2.5, RGC 124. LH 3x3 with IM 1.5 RH 3x2 with Standard Gold Not a bad session but I’m feeling some accumulation of fatigue that might need a deload.

Phil K Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 TYVM mate My main goal for the year is to train consistently and keep my hands/wrists healthy for golfing. I’ve struggled with being super consistent because of a lack of knowledge on my part and being distracted by life stuff. So, I remedied that by learning more, setting realistic goals and learning/relearning how to trust the process. Watching guys like Ben Helms, Jaland Worley, Derek Palmieri amongst others is cool because it gives me something to aspire to but I need to wade through the mud myself and not live vicariously through them. My lovely wife who is very good powerlifter in her own right has been most helpful in this regard. In terms of strength goals? I’m like a lot of guys, closing a 3, lifting an Inch, a Blob lift and lifting a good weight on the LBH are my main priorities. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil K Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 (edited) I appreciate the kind words Just hitting the range before I get to work and I can say the grip work, specifically the IM LBH has been helping my hands feel good I’m going to add radial/ulnar deviation and pronation/supination as my wrist work as I feel that this would cover most of what I need for golfing Aiming to break 80 this year, shot 83 & 89 so far Edited February 1 by Phil K Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reps from a 38mm set LH IM 1.5, 2x8, maybe 8 reps on the third set too RH Standard Au 2x6, 5 (almost 6), 3 (almost 4) Going to leave out negatives for a while and work on increasing reps and volume with my Standard Cu RH, say 5x3-5, & 5x5 with my Standard Au LH.

Phil K Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Grippers, 38mm set T x 10 BH 1 X 5 BH 1.5 X 3BH Standard Au and Cu x 1 BH. Cu is rgc 103. GG 4, rgc 110, RH X 1 LH 3 single attempts GG 4. Best was almost closed, maybe a width of paper from closing… RH 3 single attempts Standard apt, rgc 118. Best was 3mm from closing. LH Standard Au 3, 3, 2, 1, 2 RH Standard Cu 4, 4x3 Today’s session underscored the importance of a good set. Might work on incorporating a few practice attempts at setting harder than goal grippers in over the next few weeks. Something like a Standard Fe RH and 2.5 LH.
