jad Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 5-26-05 I did some blob50 work after my volume session last night.

gamidon Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Holy cow!!!! I just saw this now. Nice volume on the #2. I hope this change up shows you some real good gains, what grippers are you doing next? Nice job getting a few more reps on the second workout. Keep pushing it. Good luck and work hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Thanks Greg, I'm going up to the HG300 next week RH and I'll stick with the #2 lefty until I get to 500 reps in a workout or for two more weeks, whichever I do first. 5-27-05 #2 RH: 50, 50, 50, 50, 50=250 reps LH: 16, 22, 20, 1...WTH?, O...Oooh-kay Ran out of time tonight but my LH was done anyway. I also did my wrist curl workout today so I didn't have my A-game on the grippers tonight. I'll post the wrist curl workout tommorrow, I need to get to bed.

bencrush Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Tremendous amount of reps with the #2! Nice job and I can't wait to see how far it takes you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I just started to add this high volume method to my workouts and on the first workout I already lost a chunk of skin on my palm. But it is alot of fun for a change. I'm going to do them every other day mixed with some credit card closes that I will do first then the high volume sets and last do about 5 to 10 heavy negatives on a big gripper or grip machine at the end of the workout.

jad Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Needed to get to bed so I didn't post this last night OAP workout BW: 220 One arm lat pulldown on a real latpulldown machine RH: 8x8, 10x3, 11x2, 12x2, 12x1, 11x2, 11x2, 10x4 LH: 8x8, 10x3, 10x3, 10x3, 10x3, 11x1, 10x3, 10x3 * "8", "10" etc.. is what the plates were labeled I know good and well they aren't multiples of 10lbs because I was warming up with 110 at the other gym and if anything this latpulldown is easier because I'm actually anchored. Whatever they were I got a great workout which is really what matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 Big T, My hands are pretty sore. I taped the far handles of the grippers with electrical tape so that has helped a lot. I also somehow managed to get a blister under my callous on my left pinkie. #2 LH: 20,20,20,6,12,20,10,18,1,2=128 HG300 RH: 20,20,20,20,14,20,15,12,4=145 ...Hands are infected with pussitis, hopefully this will clear up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) Thanks Ben! 6-7-05 decided to get some pinch in on my off day from the grippers 2.5" HM pinchblock LH: 50, 60, 62.5, 65x0, 65x1, 67.5x1, 70x1, 75x 3/4 lockout RH: 50, 60, 62.5, 65, 67.5x0, 67.5, 70, 75, 77.5, 80, 82.5x0 I adjusted my fingers a little after watching Maidenfan and Franky's narrow pinch video. I'm now getting more pressure from my index finger 2 45's on the cushions played with this a little. I should have done it first but I got some very breif lockouts righty. I think I'm going to get some athletic tape like Clay and then try to wean myself off a finger at a time. Blob50 on cushions got several good lockouts LH with normal grip and 3 strong lockouts with 2 fingers righty. I finished up with two sets of 4 reps, normal grip RH and 2 sets of 2 reps lefty OAP workout OAP workout BW: 220 One arm lat pulldown on a real latpulldown machine RH: 8x6, 11x2, 12x2, 12 plus one x1.5, 12 plus onex1.5, 11 plus onex1.5, 8x5 LH: 8x6, 11x2,11x2, 11 plus one x2x2x2 * "8", "10" etc.. is what the plates were labeled I know good and well they aren't multiples of 10lbs because I was warming up with 110 at the other gym and if anything this latpulldown is easier because I'm actually anchored.

jad Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 6-8-05 HARD #3 (RH): 10,10,10,10,12,12,10,12,10,4=100 #2: (LH): 1,40,20,25,30,30,30,17,20,10,10,16,13,3,10,13=290 The #3 I have is another board member's. It has almost a 3" spread on the money and despite my best oiling efforts, still creaks when squeezed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towser Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 josh, how long are you going to train with this high volume before doing a max test to see it's effect, also what is your goal gripper now? BTW 10 reps on a hard #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to do it for 5 weeks and then test. I'm on week 3 now. My goal gripper for the program is to be consistent on the #3 lefty. I've closed it 2-3 times but usually fall 1/8" short. My goal gripper RH is to rep my BBGE with 1/4" mounting or close my Phantom 4 dud. 6-11-05 #2: 30,30,25,25,24,20,25,20,20,20,13,21,28=301 HARD#3: 18,20,21,20,22,30,16,8=155 I hit some big PR's tonight on that #3 PTL I had to make up for last night's one set workout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
