cberg Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 havent written in this thing in a while! worked on my crush tonight. Took a 5.75'' shiny that was stuck at about 3'' from a previous attempt a couple weeks ago. Managed to get it down to 2 5/16''. This thing is going down soon! Also my hands didnt hurt at all while crushing it down which is a first! http://www.gripboard.com/uploads/123779810..._990_144769.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberg Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 got the second half of my FBBC order on friday. I dont know if John did it on purpose or by accident, but he also gave me 10 grand hexes even though I didnt order any! Thanks John . Had to give one a go. Got it to about 10 degrees. Tough stuff!

cberg Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 I appreciate it Hugo!! You gotta start up a workout log in here man. It helps to stay motivated. Fun for us to read also. I havent gotten around to bending lately. Been busy with school, exams, and stuff. Hopefully next week I'll get around to doing some bending and trying that grand shiny.

cberg Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 thanks caolan for your idea about to create one log here; i will think about it better:-)whats your p.b (DU and reverse)? I dont even know man... havent trained either in a while. hit the weights today for the first time in who knows how long. kept it pretty easy. Gonna try and stick with it this time. dips (BW 200) BW X 10 BW+35 X 5 BW+70 X 5 BW+105 X 5 BW+140 X 4 (last rep was tough) then did a few sets of pullups with a 35. Definitely cheated a little on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberg Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 did an upper body workout a couple days ago but forgot to write down what I did.. just did some hammer chain twists tonight. Saw them in an article Jedd just wrote. crazy tough exercise! I was exhausted and had a ridiculous pump goin after a few sets of these. I highly recommend giving them a try heres a link to the article: http://www.straighttothebar.com/2009/04/ha...o_the_wr_1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberg Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 good night of bending yesterday. Took a grand brutal hex that was stuck at 15 degrees for quite some time and moved it to 30 degrees. Im sure I could have moved it further but I didnt want to overdo it with Motown Gripdown just a few days away. Then did a 20 rep set of squats with 230 lbs. That was fun. Probly gonna follow what Foxman did and add 5 lbs to that every couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Good stuff Caolan! Better rest up for the contest. I'm putting together a modest bending kit from some of my last remaining stock that will be awarded to the 1st place spot in the bending event. Hope to be handing it over to you man!

easyWeight Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Good luck at the contest Caolan! If you're feeling up to it, we're having a strongman competition here in Fargo the following weekend -May 23. There are several guys coming down from Manitoba - at least one that I know of from Winnipeg. I may try to get some sort of an informal grip challenge going if I can afterward, if I can get some participants, which shouldn't be too hard.

easyWeight Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hey man, don't worry about not being the strongest. I'm definitely not the strongest man on the field, but I still compete because it's a blast! As for grip stuff, I don't really have a lot, myself, but the guy who owns the majority of the strongman equipment has lots of grip toys. I have grippers, a 150lb 2.5" thick handled DB , 2" axle, plates for pinch, a loadable sledge handle, and my friend has a V-bar, a loadable Inch trainer and possibly an RT (not sure if it is his). Hopefully your dad will lend you his car! I know what it's like not to have one. Well, I own one but my girlfriend is always driving it to work! There is a guy coming down from Winnipeg. I'll shoot him an e-mail if you want me to. Maybe if it's convenient for him, you might be able to catch a lift with him if all else fails. Let me know.

easyWeight Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I only have two Shinies left, but I suppose I could cut one down for you and make it worth the trip down here You don't have to give me anything for it either. The date of the contest is May 23rd at 1pm. You can just Visit Our Website for details and directions. I hope to see you down here man!

cberg Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 did a volume crushdown workout yesterday. took a bunch of huge shinys that were stuck at 2'' or just under and crushed them down to 1''. It was fun. Only took 2 hits on most of em . Also crushed a 5 3/4'' shiny down to 1 1/16'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyWeight Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'll do what I have to do to cut it Although I'll probably have some bolt cutters handy. We can film the bend right after the comp. Maybe we can put you out on the floor in front of the crowd Get them behind you, should give you the energy you need! BTW, if you're getting Huge Shinies and 5.75 crushed down that far, you should be able to get the Grand no problem. I've struggled with the Grand I managed to kink to 90deg for a while now and still haven't quite got it to two inches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
