bencrush Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Jad, good point about the "reference gripper." A friend of mine who is a board member, but who will remain nameless, has a Jamar dyno and has set a base number that if he doesn't reach that number-he's done for the day. He considers it a tool to diagnose and hopefully prevent overtraining with. I think it will work quite well for him. He's an innovator and an already strong man. When I'm able to buy a dyno I'll be doing the same thing...and I think it would help most here in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 The dyno sounds like a great idea. I would love to have one, it's just not on the budget right now, mabye for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuffdan Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I guess that for me, a noob at grip, high volume is how far I can mentally/physically push myself in a week without sustaining injuries and keeping my tendonitis to a low. Like what was stated earlier, I can train atleast an extra day a week when I massage, wear gloves when I sleep, do active recovery, and soak my hands in ice water or salt water. Im not sure why, but salt water just feels awesome on the hands. When soaking in salt water, my hands come out feeling very tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuffdan Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Jedd, As far as your top volume theory, I think that I, being a trainee feel comfortable going 65-75% 4 days a week. Granted that I don't perform the same exercise 4 days in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN PETERSON Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I think the term "high volume" like everything else is just relative. For me high volume is just more than i would do on a normal day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davekline Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Sorry...2 posts? I guess that's your example of high volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Just thought I'd resuscitate this post for an update. On 5-22-04 I did what I would consider a super high volume workout. It of course might be other people's normal volume. All were of course full open and close reps. Filed BB Master-total reps=215-right hand Filed BB Master-total reps=160-left hand Trainer-total reps=300-right hand Trainer-total reps=315-left hand Good times and skin grating off everywhere.
