tmmicklabs Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 4/18/04 Bending Workout : I decided to start doing my bending at home instead of work and it is paying off nicely. I did some squats, biceps and tricep work for about 5 minutes and then got started on the bending. Total bending workout time was 10 minutes. 1 40d polebarn nail 1 60d 8 twist timber tie 1 6" grade 2 hex bolt 2 7" by 1/4" cuts of HRS 1 Ironmind Yellow Nail...New PR. I also hit a new PR on my Jamar Hand Dyno right after the bending workout. I did 165lbs on the Dyno up from a previous PR set earlier today of 159lbs.

tmmicklabs Posted April 26, 2004 Author Share Posted April 26, 2004 4-25-04 Bending - Grippers - Blockweights - Plate Pinching Where do I start. What a day. The first KC Gripfest was awesome. Here is the stuff I remember doing. Grippers : Closed 3 different Trainer's Closed 3 different # 1's Closed 1 Advanced gripper Closed 2 different Super Advanced grippers Closed the HG100 Closed the HG150 Closed the HG200 Closed the # 2 Missed the HG250 by 1/8" Missed the Super Master by 1/4" Got the # 3 down to parallel Block Weights : Dl'd the 25 Dl'd the 25 by the face Dl'd the 30 Dl'd the 30 by the face Got laughed at by the 35...I will have my revenge soon. Dl'd a 12lb shot Dl'd a 16lb shot Plate Pinching : Dl'd two 25's Dl'd four 10's Dl'd six 5's Bending : 1 6" 60d 8 twist timber tie 1 6" Grade 2 hex bolt 1 5" 50d common nail 1 Yellow Nail 2 Blue Nails Rolling Thunder : Dl'd 96lbs Dl'd 121lbs Made an attempt at 131lbs but ran out of steam. This was my first experiance with a Rolling Thunder. It was fun and humbling. You guys that are pulling 200+ on this handle are monsters. I think the covers everything. All in all it was a great workout and a great time for all that attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmmicklabs Posted May 9, 2004 Author Share Posted May 9, 2004 5-8-04 Gripper Workout I got a new HG150 in the mail yesterday. The original one I recieved was defective so Ironwoodyfitness sent me a new one and let me keep the messed up on at no charge. So anyways, I decided to give it a proper lesson in crush. 90 closes of the HG150 in 10 minutes I just had to break this thing in right. I would rate my new about a T.5 in difficulty. My defective HG150 rates at about a 1.7 in difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McMillan Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Travis are you working set closes in the recent logs you posted? How many grippers do you have total now? If you don't mind a fellow addict asking I'm too lazy to see if you posted in any of the threads on the same topic Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
