strongman2332 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) So when you put "5x no. 2" are these consecutive reps or done as singles? Apply that question to your "4x 3" are these parallel reps? do you do these as singles or just reset in between each set??

Terrygrip Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 hey mate, i only do singles with rest in between. The warm ups are closer together, the main training is a rest of roughly 2mins between each gripper try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrygrip Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Sat 29th Jan : My wife treated me to a rolling thunder handle, it arrived this morning to my delight. Its really nice. So tonight instead of going for my usual DO deadlift I gave this handle a go. Rolling thunder 1 x 60kg Right/left hand 1 x 80kg Right/left hand 1 x 100kg Right/left hand 1 x 110kg Right hand (left didn't even budge it! ) 1 x 115kg Right hand 1 x 120kg Right hand, just about got it, very hard. Also may have hurt my wrist, as with all my injuries won't find out until the morning All in all very happy with my numbers, going to put this away and push on with my regular training , hopefully move these numbers up a bit.

Terrygrip Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks Matt, training has been going great lately. Even though i'm moving the 4 gripper, it feels a while of from closing. But I like to stay positive and say I will be closing the 4. The rolling thunder is smooth, nice piece of kit. Just a shame its so expensive. Hows your training going mate? when... i get the 4 gripper closed, i will make a video. Hopefully my daughter will film it this time, as i'm useless with the camera's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
