austinslater Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 I havent posted in my log in awhile as I was doing kta. I got good results but some personal issues made me quit before I started phase 3. I did get in some good daily training time which was my goal anyways. I set some prs while doing kta, strapholds with #3+18 lbs. and 6 lbs. with a tetting ruler. Im now doing some no sets and will cert with the tetting process. so Todays workout went as follows and was just a test day. NO SETS T,1,2,SMx1 #3x2 singles #3 mediumxmiss Smx2 reps All reps were no set. I was happy about getting a 3 no set in. The SM is the same I will be using for the tetting cert. and I will be getting a gm from Jeff soon to try that as well. I will probably just post a weekly update in the log. 2 hours later we tried to get a video of my buddy closing the 3 and I no set the 3 again and got 4 no set reps with my cert SM gripper. Bigray64(new member) missed the 3 but is real close and it should fall soon. Fun workout though. We closed grippers, played with the dyno and did some pinch work.

austinslater Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Havent posted in awhile so I figured I would post an update. Ive been mainly doing no set work for tettings cert and will continue doing so. Ill make a run at the elite no set for tettings cert. Im also starting to bend and its been a blast and a learning experience. Last workout went like this: 4/14 T,1,2,3x1, Filed #3 alternated with Jedds elite for singles. 3 each #3x6 reps. Bending: green nail, timber tie, 3/16ths square 6", 1/4x7", 10 pieces of square Block weights, about 10 sets of 40 lb york Finished the workout with a couple of #3 singles Awesome workout. Only second time bending underhand but it felt alot better. The 1/4" was easy and last time I barely kinked it 4 days earlier. Im stronger with the old terminator style but it was causing some problems so I will stick with underhand for now and it seems to be gaining fast.

austinslater Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Sunday 4-18 Crush: doing some stuff Wood suggested so I will keep it quiet. Did some work with my 3 though Bending: 3rd workout 20 timbers 3/16x6" square 5.5" timber 3/16x5.5 square sub 5" timber and a couple more pieces of 5" square for added volume 35-40 yorks for 10 holds each hand alternating back and forth with no rest. Pretty good workout. Im going to stay light on the bending and bend timbers for another couple of weeks then work my way down with 1/4" I want to take it slow this time. Then bending was really easy so next wk ill bump it up. Thanks Bballad for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Monday am Just for fun I killed a yellow with the reverse style. Im way stronger this way but it was just causing me problems. Finger felt alittle tender but I think the underhand style actually helps with the reverse grip. Ill play both by ear and see what happens. I almost grabed a blue but decided against it. oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinslater Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Today at the gym while showing others how to bend and helping bigray64 with his bending I killed a yellow underhand so I think it will come around and eventually pass the rev. grip in strength. Im pumped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
