Grippers, RT & Sledge

1. Grippers, wide set OC’s

5 singles on #3, trying hard to break the gripper.

2. RT

Singles, starting from 60 kg and going up 5 kg at a time. Got up to 75 kg with left and 80 kg with right hand. Left some gas in the tank, but I tried to break the handle every time.

3. Sledge work

Worked with sledge as a finisher and went for a good pump.

Afterthought: Wasn’t recovered well but I’m going to grind through it with pretty frequent training until I get a response. I’ll probably train grip (along with everything else) tomorrow to scare my forearms.

2 handed pinch & RT

1. 2HP

- 3 sec holds

10 x 1 x 60 kg

2. Neutral wrist RT

- 2 sec holds on top

R: 1 x 12 x 60 kg
L: 1 x 8 x 60 kg

I want to see improvement on both before it’s time for another serious go at #4.

Forgot

I also did plenty of sledge levering.

Kbells & RT

Workout using kettlebells & Rolling Thunder.

I hope all these details don’t cause headache to anyone.

Grippers & RT

1. No set-grippers

R: 5 x 1 x 3 sec OC #3.5
L: 5 x 1 x 3 sec OC #3

Tried hard to break the handles. Felt OK.

2. RT, neutral wrist

1 x 20 x 50 kg

More weight next time.

Let’s get this on

Time to get back on track. I’ll try to avoid making excuses from now on and just train better, harder and with more focus.

30 min kettlebell circuit built around swings, snatches, side presses.

Neutral wrist RT, 1 x 12 x 50 kg

Fat bar chins, 7 and 6 x BW

Had to force myself to train

1. Grippers

BFN’s on different #4’s, 10 x 3

2.RT

Just to test this, did a few lifts with 80 kilos.

3. Blobette negs

4 x 3 x 50 lbs

4. Fat bar (60 mm) chin-ups

2 sets, 9 and 7 x BW

One of those days I did not feel like training at all, but I had to let out some steam. Crappy feel on grippers, no good. Got scared of the FBBC 5X and did not want to try it..will have wait for one of those better days.

Choker work, Blobette & Fat Bar chins

1. Grippers:
R: 197 lbs BBSE choked at 19 mm, 4 x 3 sec OC’s
L: 185 lbs CoC#3.5 choked at 19 mm, 4 x 3 sec OC’s

2. Blobette negs

4 x 3 x 50 lbs

3. Fat bar 60 mm chins

- Barely got 5 reps on the first set, manned up for the second set and got 9

Weak!

Very weak gripper week behind. Had to let the #4’s wait. This trend has to turn around next week. Took out the frustrations on a 182 lbs BBE. Tried to break it every time.

Another take on the #4

This time, you can’t see the set and the video is not good anyway, but I posted it so that those that follow my progress can see it through these videos. This is a slow process for a pencilneck like me.
