mobsterone Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Tuesday Even allowing for the heat training today was stupidly hard. My hips and knees aches on squats and leg press (less on this). My back did NOT like the rack pulls and my left wrist (front side) was not liking the wrist curls. All in all it was aches and pains. Bwt down to 280 from 282 but that may have just been water. Squats bar x 12 reps, 60-kilos x 12 reps (feet on floor) 60-kilos x 2 x 12 reps (heels elevated). I'm using straps to hold onto the bar as my wrists and shoulders do not like the usual holding the bar position at all. Leg press to 380-kilos x 15 hard reps Rack pulls (4-6 inches) to 220-kilos x 3 x 1 reps. Back was not liking this at all. I was getting pins and needles up the right hand side. F/W/Curls to R/H: 42.5-kilos x 6 reps - 20-kilos x 15 reps - inside of elbow twinging L/H: tried 42.5... dropped to 35-kilos x 6 reps - 20-kilos x 15 reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Friday As I officially started training yesterday, even with the limited equipment I have access to, for Britain's Most Powerful Hands 2012 that dictated that I do holds for time (using a Vulcan at 5/5 (eqv to a CoC 3) and an HG300 held in the jaws as it were. Times noted in my log but not online for the benefit of my competitors. Other event numbers will fall out of the log as e get closer to the comp. V/gripper B/H: Usual warm ups L/H: to 6/5 x 1 rep then down to 5/5 x 3 holds with HG300 - a little better than last time R/H: to 7/6 x 1 rep then down to 5/5 x 3 holds - as L/H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Saturday Might need to work on lower back strength. CG Bench Press to 122.5-kilos x 2 x 4 reps s/s heavy set with LPD V-handle to 130-kilos x 8 rough-n-ready reps - 80-kilos x 8 reps (hard) Fat Gripz DB Deadlifts (in lieu of adjustable for comp) biggest bell (70kg) x 1, 2 and 3 reps per hand. Miles way from being heavy enough. Rack pulls (in lieu of frame hold) to 200-kilos and still not putting my hips through properly. Sans chalk as per which doesn't help.

mobsterone Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sunday It is, as the saying goes, going to be an interesting week (QED issues in Glos??) V/Gripper B/H: As per L/H: as last time and then 3 timed holds (1-2 secs more than last time) R/H: as last time and then 3 timed holds (1-2 secs more than last time) I'm using a similar principle and approach to this as with previous timed events I've done and had success with.

mobsterone Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi Geralt, not for now. I'm moving to a new placxe this week and teh condition is such it'll take some work to get it up to scratch. It also needs a change of use permit of sorts. Work (as in a day job) will be a priority and I've put myname forward for the Britain's Strongest Hand 2012 event so all that will keep me busy.

mobsterone Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wednesday Back still doesn't like me but walking does it good. As I had to go into town today that helped. Sledge Hammer deadlifts Essentially they sound like. You pick up said hammer by the very end of the handle (so back of fist is in line with the end) and keep it dead level. I thick a coin goes on the hammer head of course heaviest hammer wins. I'll assume handles are all the same length. I'm using a shorter LGC V-Bar with weight added and using a non-stop touch n go style = ouch!
