porkchop Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 3/17/2006 I took my hardest #3 to work and just crushed it off and on during the day. Right Hand 10 x IM #3 (3.3-3.4) MMS - Singles through out the day, five of them were closed Left Hand 10 x IM #3 (3.3-3.4) MMS - Singles through out the day, all misses I was REALLY pleased with the closes RH. This #3 is about the same as my Elite! Being sore and fatigued from last night's workout, I really didn't expect to get any closes. Five closes on this gripper is a HUGE PR! for me. I've never gotten two closes in the same day with it previously.

porkchop Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 3/31/2006 Just messing around at work. I have my hardest #3 here just to close every now and again when I feel stress or just get motivated to close a hard gripper. It's very close to my Elite as far as difficulty. I haven't really worked grippers in a week or so because I have been playing around with my new Blob 42.5. Looks like the pinching has helped quite a bit with my set because it seemed easier than usual to set this time. Good times.

porkchop Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 4/8/2006 Worked the Blob some today... a few highlights to report. I have been working grippers, grip machine and tearing phone books and decks of cards... but nothing much to report there. Just the usual stuff. PR! - Full DL RH with the Blob35+5lbs by the face, lost it about knee high LH. PR! - Broke ground lifting the Blob42.5 by the face RH. Not much air, an inch.. maybe; probably less. PR! - Broke the Blob50 off the ground with the finger push technique and then lifted it almost knee high using only my RH!!

porkchop Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 4/22/2006 Grippers today.. MMG1 attempt. Closed it 1st try, but missed others. Hopefully the video will be ruled good. Unfortunately, my buddy the Gator had an off day and missed on his attempts. Right Hand 1 X MMG1 MMS PR! 1 X MMG1 MMS - miss 1 X MMG1 MMS - miss 1 X Gator's RB300 PR! 1 X Gator's BBE PR! Left Hand 1 X BBSM MMS 1 X BBSM MMS 1 X RB260N MMS - miss Well, I did finally close the (real) MMG1 whether the video counts for the cert or not. That was a great PR! I also closed Gator's RB300 and his BBE! Now I have closed two different BBE's. Our gripfest was cut short cuz I got called into work before we had time to break out the Blobs and other stuff we planned on messing with. Oh well, I guess we'll have to schedule another gripping day and get some gripping done together!! pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I had to leave Porkchop's house without a PR this time -- and that ain't right with the Lord! I am sure we will get together soon on a better day for me and knock out a few PRs. Congrats again on those PR's I witnessed yesterday buddy!

porkchop Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) 5/5/2006 Well.. I don't have much to update since I haven't done anything lately. After the MMG1 cert I went out of town and since I returned I have been down and out with a stomach flu. Hopefully, I'll regain some strength this weekend and get back to training next week. pc Edited May 6, 2006 by porkchop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchop Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 5/7/2005 Grippers today. Just testing the waters since I haven't done anything with them for two weeks since my MMG1 cert because of being out of town then getting that stomach flu. It actually went better than I expected.

porkchop Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 5/12/2006 Taking the KTA beyond the #3. Goal gripper is my BBSE2 (MMG4 replica). Currently missing my goal gripper by 1/2" or so using a MMS. I started KTA back when I first got into gripping and really didn't know what I was doing. The volume was way too much for me back when I was just starting out but I figured I would modify it a bit and give it a try to see how well it works beyond the #3. Started phase 1, week 1 today. Using BBSE and #3 for their respective roles in the program. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
