Spent sometime this morning sorting out stuff for the 3 working weekends coming up. Had a crack at a couple of Argos catalogs - did them but need more speed and flare.

mobsterone Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ouch. As only a little while previously stated (you get to moan loads when you hit a certain age and so I am taking full advantage) my palms are torn. Not much but just in the sweet spot where you anchor the end of a gripper. My right is almost healed but I felt like I was pulling on the tear on my left. Now the skin of your palms etc heal real quick. A week would do it and although I thought about it I wasn't sure if I wanted to leave it a week without hitting grippers. This morning my left thumb was remind me that picking up rounded end solid dumbbells (York style) by their heads is a width too far if you over extend. Combine that with the other grip stuff we did at Bulks and that hurt today. So all I could do was work to 5/5 x a rep or two on the Vulcan and then some light sets and reps with my handy HG300. If I am lucky I might get a little scare tissue and the gripper will anchor just so. Always looking on the bright side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of what I like about this sport is that you can continue to get stronger and improve. You will heal up and be better for it.
