vikingsrule92 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Have to say again that you are doing great on the choker work. What's the poundage on the MM6 dup? Thanks, I dont know for sure yet but at MM5 specs it tested at 192#. I will try to calibrate it at MM6 today with some other ones I have to do. with most grippers I have tested I see about a 5-6# change per 1/16 change in mount. - Aaron I tested it at MM6 specs and got 195#, so I retested at MM5 and got 190#. Also tested a new SE that came out at 204# today. btw the SE is the new style with no Thor stamp and the SE on the other handle - Aaron Yikes that a heavy SE. So the new beef builders have one ID handle and the other is blank? He's changed the handle styles now at least 3 times in the last 6 months, regular thor, thor with a lighting bolt going down, and now blank, Tetting needs to make up his mind Edited April 9, 2008 by vikingsrule92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few like that now. mostly due to people ordering adj grippers and me getting new ones for that. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Aaron, I wonder if anyone trains harder and smarter than you. I really do, although that question will never be answered for obvious reasons. You've reached elite status in several areas and are rapidly approaching it in others. I know you've done some impulsive things lately on top of what you usually do, but that's part of the fun. I read your logs and read them again. And again. Great information and food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you've done some impulsive things lately on top of what you usually do, but that's part of the fun.I read your logs and read them again. And again. Great information and food for thought. Thanks Odin, I try to do my research and think outside the box as much as possible. Once you get to a certain level with your body gains come a lot slower and the ones that do come are usually hard fought in my experience. I'm just trying like everyone else to get better and not get injured. Most of the stuff I do whether it seems impulsive or not has been thought about for days or longer as well as any implications that might come up as a result. Its all part of the overall training plan. Usually that is, but I do get off track sometimes. Especially with all the event training I'm trying to squeeze into too little recovery time. I've always tended to overtrain. I realized that my Soph year of HS when after being stagnant with the discus for most of the season I had an injury at the Divisionals that put me out of commission for a week (got hit with a shotput in the shin from about 55') I started walking again a week later the day of the state meet. At the state meet I ended up PRing by 15' just from the rest and recovery from overtraining. Since then I have used my overtraining tendancy and either planned or spontaneous rest when my body tells me to or when I need to peak for a comp. It all works out in the end if you listen to your body. Sorry, I think I got a little off track there. I would have to say that your training seems to be well thought out and consistently executed. Sometimes I get jealous of how well you can stick to the plan. I have to say I'm always impressed by your and Dereks for that matter ability to do things that challenge me or exceed my abilities and I'm prolly close to 100# heavier. you guys are making a ton of power with not alot of overall muscle. That tells me that the sky is the limit for all of us. Have a good one, Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks Aaron I just wish I had the brains to train as smart as you instead of pushing myself to the limit every workout and having to take a week or more off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
