porkchop Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 7/31/08 - Rest 8/1/08 - Rest 8/2/08 Didn't have much time for a grip workout today so the volume was light. I was watching Get A Grip while I worked out so I got in the mood to focus on grippers I couldn't close, thus the chokers and negatives. My MMG4 rated the same as my #3.5 (both @ 180lbs) so I got a nice workout range in there. I missed the #3.5 by about 1/2" with a MMS so that's the range I used to put the MMG4 in a choker. Not having to "waste" the energy on a set I was able to close a similarly rated gripper from the distance I missed it. Hopefully after working on them for a a little while I'll be able to bridge the gap and get them closed. Time will tell...

porkchop Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 8/5/08 - Rest 8/6/08 Lots of work today with the pony clamps.. I used the 3202 for dynamic thumb and the 3201 for ring+pinky work. Added some rubber bands to make things harder. Also used IM Trainer and #1, #2 for ring+pinky work. It was kind of impromptu so I didn't track what I did exactly. I just kept doing stuff until I was fatigued.

porkchop Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) 8/7/08 Wrist day. I realized after I started my workout that I gave my smaller plates to my nephews so I need to pick up some more for the Heavy Hammer II (HH2). I also tried my hand (pun intended) at a deck of cards. I saw them sitting in a box on the floor below my grippers and they just called to me. I really only noticed because I dug in the box looking for the athletic tape to wrap the Axe handle with. It has been a long, long time since I did any of those and was actually surprised that I got the entire deck relatively easily. It was kinda fun doing those again. I did a 1800pg phone book at work a couple of weeks back just because I was bored and it was sitting there on my desk. My hands are actually pretty sore from my last gripper workout. I like that...it means I worked them pretty hard yesterday.

porkchop Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 8/8/08 - Rest day 8/9/08 Wide set work today. I figured out I really suck @ CCS. I am better at TNS than CCS. I feel like I got a really good workout though. By the end, I couldn't even close the Trainer. Rest between sets was about 1 minute. Total workout time was 30 minutes. I started trying to do thumbs at the end but was too wasted to do them so I'll do another workout later a work the thumbs and extensors.

porkchop Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks knyaz! Hopefully I'll be able to close it before the end of the year. 1/2" is a lot to go though... It was nice Mat, thanks! I like the thick handle. Makes it quite a bit harder than a smaller one, I think. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I got the Elite 1/16" from closed RH and #3 1/16" from closed LH. 8/18/08 MMS work today. Not bad. I got my MM2 for the first time in a while, and pretty easily too, so that was encouraging. I was a bit disappointed that I missed the RB330N. I thought I would get that one. I guess that's what happens when I wait until I am tired to do a grip workout.
