SOCK BOY Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Spent most of the late afternoon & early evening cleaning out my under house storage. I’m thinking of making myself a grip cave. The only issue I have with my garage is the limited space to do any exercise I have to move stuff around. I thought if I sort out a grip den then I can leave stuff just laying around with any problems like falling over kit . Another reason is I can fill the new space with grip kit lol. I’ll get some pics tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Sat 20/4/24 Farmers holds: 15k x 10 secs, 54k x 10 secs, 90k x 60secs Cone style vert bar( anvil simulator): 20k x 2,40k x 2,45k x 1, 50k x 1,55k x 1,60k x 1, 65k x 1 , 67.5k x 1, 70k x 1,75k x 1 lh rh broke floor, 85k x f , 82.5k x 1, 85k x 1 lh Just a shortish sess to try & get a couple of comp events practiced. Feeling nothing like it as I participated in 24hr rollathon at my Bjj gym overnight last night. I was feeling a bit knackered so just decide 1 max set on farmers hold would hopefully be enough . Surprised with 60 secs as that was what I was hoping for in the comp. Didn’t have much of a clue as to where I was at with the cone lift. Obviously started a bit low but have taken a note & so have a better starting point for next sess. All in all a half decent sess. Got the work done & got out. Got a couple of goodies in the post today . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCK BOY Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Mon 22/4/24 Axke 40k x 3,60k x 2, 65k 5 x 2 Pinch Block 10k x 1, 15k x 1, 17.5k x1, 18.75k x 1, 20k x 1, 21k x 1 lh broke floor rh x 1, 22k x 1 rh, 22k x 1 rh l, 23 x 1 rh, 24k x 1 rh. Worked out at 27.15k on the scales. COC trainer 3 lh / rh Quick sess after work. Got in a couple of events from comp. Axke is tricky at the min as my arthritis in my rh is giving me grief. Every time I put the axle down it hurts my hand. Minor set back I reckon. Pinch Block is slowly improving. Got base numbers so time to right a proper plan. COC Trainer is awful. I struggle even with the trainer . I am going to put some work in on grippers as I want to eventually close a 3 , a life time away. Going to do my weights in the morning. As I say just a quick sess as I got roped in to gardening duties. Actually enjoying grip training . Can’t wait to learn enough to have a bit of a clue lol.

Entered my details & normally it gives you a button to press but it just went straight through. Was going to buy one at some stage so it just rushed the process. Vert happy with it . 24/4/24 Hub worked up to 17.5k plate weight on rh. Forgot to write reps & sets down as I was tidying up The Zoo. Finally getting the place in shape. A few more bits coming & then I can sit back & enjoy my kit. Thinking I might even out in a little comp nxt yr. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 THURS 25/4/24 Backwards sled drag 17.5k x 5 mins Banded knee bends blue band 3 x 10 Safety Bar Squats Bar x 5 , 60k x 3, 80k x 2, 100k x 3, 120k x 2, 150k x 2 Band face pull 5 x 10 Bulg Split Squat 7k x 5, 12k x 5, 22k x 5 x 2 Band pull aparts 5 x 10 KB leg ext 4k x 8, 8k x 8 x 2, 12k x 8 Inc DB bench 22k x 12 x 3 Rotator Block 2k x 8 x 3 50mm Roller handle 1 arm cable rows 10k x 3 ( way too light) 20k x 12 eh 25k x 12 eh Cable tri press down 20k x 15 x 3 Plate Hub Pinch 2.5k x 2, 3.5k x 2, 4K x 1, 5k x F . Band assisted plate hub pinch 3.5k x 2, 4K x 2, 5k x 2 Sled drags hit the hips. Squats felt heavy & a touch high. Bulg felt hard but happy with weight. KB leg ext felt different. Hit the spot tho. Inc Db bench just trying to be a Swoldier. Roller 1arm rows were pretty good. Nice feel in the lat. Cable press downs only light but target tri nicely. Plate hub pinch has become a bit of a quest for me. I want to be able to pinch a 20k plate. Still shocking at them . Added the band as I remember that being a way to bridge between weights & Phatmuscle used to bang on about them lol. All in all a half decent sess. Got some work done & enjoyed it. My Roller handle cable row set up My sophiscated band set up . Worked ok to be honest . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid session, I love dragging the sled backwards, I start or finish every lifting session with them, and also do them on “rest” days (I am completely incapable of resting) i like the idea of KB leg extensions , was that your first time trying them? I’ll have to give that a try 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted Friday at 08:54 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 08:54 AM I do the tyre drag every time I train the evening. I think it has helped my busted knees a fair bit. I have done Kb leg ext before but not for ages . I’m struggling to get the gym in a member of to use the leg kit so I thought I’d just improvise. They hit in a wierd way. Give a go & see what you think . Let me know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get a bit of interest but nowhere near where I needed to be. Got it done & live to fight another day. Watched the grip show with Jaland Worley the other day & found his way of training pretty interesting & I am going to lean towards his ideas. Put another mat down in the garage as my rubber crumb mats are proving very hard to clean the chalk out of hopefully make life a bit easier.
