Rated Grippers & Upper Body Supplimental

May 8, 2012

Well over the past few days I rated all of my torsion spring grippers with the exception of a couple of my FBBC Oldschool's due to the handles being to slick for the strap to stay on and a Warren Tetting World Class. That bugger went over 300# and it was just at parallel and was beginning to bend the saddle of my apparatus.

Man did I ever beat the hell out of myself with yesterday's pull work! Kept it pretty easy today. I just feel fried. Got some petechia out of it as well lol.

1a) Bench Press - AFAP
165 x 5
265 x 5

Added reverse MM bands. Full bar weight at about the last 4-6". Really working on speed with these.
265 x 5, 5, 5, 5

1b) Axle Coan Rows
173 x 5
223 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 - I think I'll work more in the 6-8 range in the future.

A little gripping and hubbing

May 2, 2012

Well last night when I got home from my 18 hour workday lo and behold my 3 Gillingham grippers were here. Sweet! Yesterday on my way up to the job site I did what decided to call a "2's" workout consisting of closing my #2 for doubles every time a 2 would come on my truck clock for about a 3 hour drive to meet a guy to finish the trek to site. Needless to say I got a few reps in and it's interesting starting the first set just after 3am :D

Today I received my Ironmind hub and was really eager to give it a go. Pffft!! Still feels greasy as hell but I'll get some more work in on it.

As far as my eating habits go I think I need to restrict the intermittent fasting to non workout days. I'm really having a problem focussing and feel weak and listless and I can't have that in the middle of a pull race :D
