Magnus Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Figured I'd better start one of these up again. Last one went to pot after some things came up. Grip (this was actually from yesterday): BBE Attempts, all missed by 1mm or less , + some BFNs #3, 2 sets of reps to failure, both hands, + ~10 BFNs #3, 2 or 3 5-10sec overcrushes, both hands Finished grippers up with some paused-set speed reps on the remounted 250 (~2.3), just focusing on slamming the positive. After that did something with the TTK...don't remember what it was, though. I remounted and filed my hard 300 (it's a brick now), so I'm hoping a week or two of BTR-BFNs with this will finish up that last mm on the BBE. And this is from today: Monday Barbell Curls: 134lb x 3 sets of 5 Full Hammer Curls on triceps-bar (drop-sets): Set 1 - 92lb, 86lb, 80lb x 8 Set 2 - 92lb, 86lb, 80lb x 8 Strict Barbell 21s (as burners) 1 set of 73lb Bench Press: Set 1 - 221 x 3, 221 x 2, 227 x 1 Set 2 - 227 x 3, 233 x 2, 239 x 1 Set 3 - 239 x 3, 239 x 2, 259 x 1 259 felt good enough to rep but, you know...that no-spotter thing Incline DB Press: 70lb x 4 sets x 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't have any trouble with the MM2, it's not a big jump from the MM1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 whats in the head of the bolt?:P I don't know...it's got 6 marks on the top of it, though... Naw, just kidding Really, I cut the head off, and I don't remember what brand it is. I'm thinking HKT, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 HKT should be insane ... "BL" and "triangule" were the easier 5/16" i ever tried. BJC and 307 sby were hard in my book. i believe g8's would be perfect for u Frank! why dont u give it a try?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
