I’ve got a pair of 36kg comp bells as well, but I’ve never put the Fat Gripz on the them. May have to try it out. Have you ever tried swings that way? I would need to allow plenty of room in front of me before attempting KB swings with Fat Gripz... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3” Iron Grips and the Gripzilla grips were really good (cupping and fingertips). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last summer I accidentally blew through like 4 Heineken non alcoholic beers in a half hour and was like how did I just down 4 of these and why aren’t I buzzed? I looked at the can and soon figured out why. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in decent shape at 290 (resting HR around 50), but my joints are starting to quack a bit now. It was a decent pick to fill a quick need, but abstaining is what I really should do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Last off topic post (for now). Picked up a new blade: Benchmade Adamas. Been wanting a folder that for my hands better and it seems quite nice (so far). Going to use this one vs being a safe queen. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 BikeErg (DF120) & seated DB snatches (up to 80x5). Good workout. DB snatches have been a staple for many years. Getting them (all versions) back into the rotation. Very powerful all around fitness and strength exercise. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 2k BikeErg & alternate seated DB “SPCPs” (snatch, press, clean & press) and incline DB presses for a 1000 calories. Pony clamp on the bike. Solid workout. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les avant-bras se sentaient si bien que je les ai mesurés (mdr). Première fois à plus de 15" (jamais) super repas après aussi according to me your forearms are flexed at 90 degrees by at least 16 inches because I'm 15 and I don't think it's an optical illusion they are more massive than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 (edited) 1 hour of intervals: Bikerg, incline treadmill walking, wrist curls/side pressure on the table spring, pronation curls w/bands, 2” 10lb hammer levers, pony clamp.

maidenfan Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Didn’t feel like working out so I went for a walk around the neighborhood. Front/rear levered a 2” 7.5lb hammer the whole way (swapping hands as necessary). Got the heart going pretty good and the hands and forearms feel great 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 (edited) Just upgraded my Powerblock DBs to 40mm stainless handles from Average Joe. Solid dude that makes an outstanding product. Ive only had my Powerblocks less than a year (bought new from the factory) and the handles are already oxidizing. Fantastic DBs, though. My only regret is not getting the 125s for some heavy bench and posterior chain work.
