jad Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 6-13-05 OAP workout BW: 220 One arm lat pulldown on a real latpulldown machine RH:6x8,11+1x2, 11+1x2,11+1x2,11+1x2,11+1x2 LH: 6x8,11x3,11x3,11x3,11x3,11x3 * "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 **plus one refers to one of those plates you can clip to the top of the stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 6-14-05 2 45's on the cushions a couple of very brief lockouts with lots of bounce and a couple of breif negatives did 5-6 sets in all 2.5" HM pinchblock LH: 50,75x0, 75x3/4 lockout, 75, 80x0,75x0 RH: 50, 75, 80x0,80x0,80x0,75x0,75x0,75x0 Decided to do some blob stuff at this point Blob50 RH: lockout, 2 fingers using finger press methodxhalf lockout LH: lockout using finger press method, lockout using finger press method Blob50 on cushions RH: 2 good lockouts with 2 fingers and 2 fair lockouts with two fingers, several lockouts with full grip and six reps on burnout set LH: 5-6 lockouts and several 3/4 lockouts Tetting O-ring: I got this for Christmas and still hadn't tried it so I decided there is no time like the present.... 100=easy 200=easy 300=not too bad 345=glued to the floor This is a pretty fun lift. It kills your hand once you get over 300 but it's a lot of fun. I might start training this if I get bored with the grippers. I'll definetly need to watch some videos of David Horne as I really had no clue what I was doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get the gripper to bite worth a crap. It kept slipping back towards my thumb. I'm just going to see how long I can hold it shut until I can get some reps.

jad Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 6-16-05 MM2dud: 15,12,9,11,8,9,0,0....yikes went from 9 to zero HG300: 0 then 12 sec hold shut, 0 then 12 sec hold shut, 0 then 10 sec hold shut, 0 then 6 sec hold shut, 0 then 0 seconds hold shut #2: 18, 10 Another pathetic night lefty. I don't know what's wrong I dropped off pretty quick righty. I put some athletic tape on my 45's and now I can get some nice holds/negatives on the cushions but still no air without. I was jacking around with these between sets. I'm going to leave them completely alone tommorrow during the workout and see if I have different results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 7-1-05 I finally got around to testing tonight to see what the results of the Greg and Dave High Volume experiment were. I had a pretty good attempt on the #4, definetly 1/4" or less, no choker. The bad part is the strongest part of my attempt was off camera. I tell you what, filming yourself is harder than it looks. Oh well, I'll get better with the camera and that's the best I've done on the #4 in a long time. I repped my BBGE with 1/4" mounting, total baby reps, but I repped it. Of course I screwed up the camera work again and it looks like I only closed it once, and even that one is shady, the rest of it just looks like I'm wiggling it around with about a credit card thickness in between the handles.. Finally, I closed my Phantom 4 dud and didn't even mess up the camera work. I was THRILLED about this PTL . If anybody knows how to shrink videos or film without creating monsterous files I'd appreciate some tips. My vids are between 40-90 something MB a piece. I have no idea how I'm going to post something that large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Thanks guys for all the kind words... 7-6-05 I'm starting an internship in August so I'm pretty busy trying to get all my ducks in a row and I'll be even busier once it starts. I like this high volume gripper work so I'm going to try and stick with it but it will be a scaled back version. I'm still going to try and do the 5 day's on 2 off but I'm only going to do 5-10 sets to failure. #2 RH: 100,100,100,100,100 LH: 50,44,40,40,50 OAP workout RH:9x10, 9+1x7.5, 10+1x4.5 LH: 9x10, 9+1x8, 10+1x3.5 *See previous log entries for explanation of weights on OAP **First # is weight, second is reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
