Guest Bullitt Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Know what shoe bending helps??? Toughening the skin for V-bar. 1" vbar coming back nicely. Pulled 322 twice and got air with 342, but not quite 2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico300zx Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Nice Mike, tell me what pulls are you doing on your way to 352? Are you doin any reps or just one pull then add 20 or 30 lb? Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Very good Mike! I think I'll be hitting some v-bar with the grippers again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks guys! Not sure why the video isn't working right now. Fun to be approaching my old max again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Couple PRs today. 337 & 342 right at 2". Pulled outside in the heat and humidity so I was really happy with those. Actually pulled 4 singles with 342 and got air with all of them. I think 352 should go down soon to hit that next level on the FBBC list. Anybody else still working on this?

Very, very nice pulling Mike! 4 singles with 342 ought to equate to quite a bit more than only 10lbs more on your max though. I think if you get everything tied in on that particular test day you're easily at the 375lb level right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each one was only an inch or two high, but they all came up. I'm still not pulling anything very high to protect this elbow and save my skin. But I think I have 352 over 2" on a good day for sure. I'm back to where I was right before I hurt my elbow at the end of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I seem to be past this lower back injury I've been struggling with for the past few months, I'm going to start playing around with the V-bar again evry now and then. I'm definitely not at your level, but I'll give it a go and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Couldn't pull crap right handed tonight. Everything hurt, but I surprised the heck out of myself with a huge PR lefty (off hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Very nice! What's your previous max lefty? I think it was 287 or so. Don't think I've ever gotten 300. Thanks Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malice Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I've never even considered trying v-bar cuz it just didn't look interesting to me but last night I picked up and moved my 1" IM loading pin I use with my RT that had 150 lbs on it and not only was it easy but I liked the feel of it. I guess now I'm going to have to get a 1" v-bar and start working with it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be surprised at how enjoyable it is to get past the milestones like 200lbs, 250lbs, 275lbs, 300lbs, and beyond. Vbar is awesome.

raymo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I just got my V-bar a little over a week ago from FBBC and was just wondering how to go about getting stronger on it as of right now I have only done 175 with either hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
