SOCK BOY Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Tues 4/6/24 Deadlifts (with straps) : 70k x 3 120k x 3 170k x 2 (suit) 200k x 4 Inc DB Bench : 12.5k x 8 25k x 2 x 10 60mm Axle Deads / Face Pulls 70k x 2 85k x 1 x 5 Face Pulls yellow band 10 x 3 Ironmind Pinch Block/ Band Pull Aparts 15k x 2 20k x 1 x 10 31.35k x 1 rh 32.60x 1 rh PB Pull Aparts yellow band 10 x 3 Yet another rushed session. I thought I’d break out the deadlift suit & start to try to rebuild my poverty deadlift. Went ok but a long way to go. I’m after a triple body weight at least dead. Db Bench to get that Swoldier look. Axle deads were a little off so I decided on reps & try to work the tech. Felt ok come the end. Pinch felt well off at first but somehow I managed to work out where I was going wrong & sneaked a PB in. All in all not a bad sess. Loads to work on as usual. Triple body weight deadlift incoming. Had a tough sess at Bjj after this which included me having to fight for my life against a very talented female purple belt. I certainly knew I had trained tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Had the chance to have a catch up with a long time friend & part time training partner Sam PhatMuscle tonight . Was great to see him & his better half Julia. Lad has records to break & then he’s coming after a few grip records. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Tues 11/6/24 Safety Bar Bix Squat/Face Pulls Bodyweight x 6 70k x 3. 120k x 1 x 9 Face Pulls. 10 x 5 60mm Axle Rows 30k x 5 50k x 3 70k x 5 60k x 10 x 3 Farmers Holds 15k x 10 secs 60k x 5 secs 100k x 40 secs Rolling Thunder 20k x 2 40k x 6 x 3 Fat Gripz Hang Blue Far Gripz x b/w x 15secs Safety Squat Upped weight from last sess & hit reps do not bad. Will continue to up weight each sess. Hopefully this should help my knee rehab a bit as I’m not going super heavy( for me). Axle Rows Another exercise I’m weak at. Improve on these & it means I’m getting stronger or something like that. Farmers Hold Felt heavy enough. Slipped out of my right hand but to be expected as much rh was hurting before the sess started. Good base time to work from. Working from a raised position now. Rolling Thunder Got numbers & was quite comfy. Looking forward to getting these numbers right up. Fat Gripz Hangs Not great but a start. 5am sess so chuffed I even made it to the garage. Got all the exercises in I needed so not a bad effort. Training changed but as I’m getting guidance from someone now. Mobster gave me a base outline to work from & that has served me very well. I’m now getting programming from an old friend so I don’t have to think, thankfully lol. All I do now is pick 2 movements from a squat, deadlift or bench & add them to my program. Working well as I can taper depending on how busted I am from Bjj & life . Farmers set up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rh slipped a bit on last reps. Hub Pinch: Felt comfy Anvil : Felt very comfy. Loads more there. Reverse Wrist Curls: These things are very hard. My left thumb unwinds on these. I reckon they will have great carry over . Quick sess as I got in late from work. Will do my weights in the morning. Everything seems to be ticking along nicely. But grip improvements on the horizon. Hubtastic in my trendy work clothes . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCK BOY Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Mon 24/6/24 Prone Rows / Band Face Pulls 32.5k x 6 42.5k x 5 x 5 Face Pulls 10 x 5 Bench / Band Pull Aparts Bar x 10 Bar x 3 40k x 3 60k x 1 80k x 1 x 5 Band Pull Aparts 10 x 5 Farmers Hold 15k x 10 secs 65k x 5 secs 110k x 30 secs Prone Row I was hoping for a bit more but def had to put some effort in. Felt em tho. Bench I’m weak as piss at bench so I thought I might as well try to get a bit better at it. Going to be a long struggle but worth a go . Farmers Hold This was the heaviest I’ve been on this exercise. I made sure I tried to look after my r/h fingers as these have been the weak link on this exercise historically. The weight felt pretty heavy & I’m not going to lie my head went before my grip. My hands were burning after. Not a bad effort I reckon. All in all a quick but decent sess. Kept it short as I’m still a bit tired & beaten up after a heavy wkend of grappling. Looking forward to the rest of the wks training. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Deads felt comfy enough. Getting stronger slowly. Hub rh felt strong for me. Lh weak as piss. Going to drop the weight & hit a load of reps on my lh to try & close the gap between hands. Anvil straight in at top weight just to see what it felt like. Got it done a bit quicker as well. Reverse Wrist Curl are the devils work. Showing very small signs of improvement in this movement. Small steps are steps. Struggling with interest & the heat. I’m getting home from work pretty much wiped out nearly every day. Need to man up & get my gym sessions in. Still managing to get my Bjj sessions in but they are suffering from the heat & my lack of energy. Any way slowly getting a touch stronger Cheers 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought get it done before work & give myself a bit of time to rest before Bjj in the evening. Didn’t quite go to plan & I now know my grip doesn’t wake up early. Everything felt so hard & I didn’t even get my numbers on deads. Got told by Phat Muscle after the sess to never just do just grip in the morning. Warm up with some normal gym work. So a valuable lesson learnt. Git home from work & thought let’s rerun the sess. Still missed the deads but got all my other numbers so a lesson learnt & move on to the next sess. 3 wks til comp, can’t wait. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking anything away from him. But you can train grip early in the morning. it’s not ideal and it did take a while to figure how to activate my CNS. But it can be done I’ve been doing it for 2 years now. Edited July 3 by Blacksmith513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he did say don’t do grip without firing up ur cns, I did misquote him there. U r right I have done grip but always after my lifting sessions & not just grip on its own. So in future I’ll do my gym work before grip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all not a bad sess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 Fri 5/7/24 Rolling Thunder ( no tilt) 25k x 2 37.5k x 1 47.5k x 5 x 3 sets Fat Gripz Hang 25 secs PB Reverse Wrist Curls Bar 25 x 3 Rolling Thunder is improving very slowly. No tilt on the reps. Fat Gripz hangs are not my best exercise. I’m sure these are going to have a big carry over. Reverse Wrist Curls hit the spot & I struggle to get all the reps . Quick sess but certainly a decent one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCK BOY Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 Sun 7/7/24 Farmers Holds (per hand) 15k x 5 secs 65k x 5 secs 115k x 33 secs PB Was surprised by these. Pick up felt ok & actually mentally pushed myself on these. Comp weight is 90k so hoping to get a half decent time on the day. Got these done at 6.30 in the morning as I had to get off early as I was competing in a Bjj comp. Going to try to hold 130k very soon . 130i was the weight of the farmers in the last strongman comp I did. Be good to see if I can even pick them up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom Deads hit the spot. Good new addition. GM’s should strengthen a weak area for me. Hypers should have been put back in rotation a while back but they are in now . Axke Deads felt good even tho I misread my prog & did 90k x 5 singles instead of 92.5x a single . I’ll pay more attention next sess lol. Got all the reps done so can’t be too bad. Hub was pretty good. Starting to get the hang of the grip. Reps felt pretty comfy. Suddenly realised I was repping my PB weight on my RH Anvil was meant to do 54k but just a touch too heavy today. Managed the reps with 53k so not the end of the world. Reverse Wrist Curls are still the devils work. Sess a bit too long & left me sweating a lot. Another Sess done & ticked off tho . Comp a wk sat & I think I might PB on a lift or 2 . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
