Squats and Grippers

February 24, 2011

 

Well at work today I reverse bent a couple of gr5 bolts in IM pads and tweaked my elbow again. I must leave that crap alone if I'm going to continue to heal. Setting heavy grippers also aggravates it but luckily choked grippers do not so that's what I've been doing.

 

1a) Squat

45 x 5, 135 x 5, 225 x 5, 315 x 3, 335 x 3, 365 x 3, 385 x 2, 405 x 1 My old PR weights are here and gone now :-)

 

1b) Choked Grippers

R Elite @ 17mm x 1, 19mm x 1, 21mm x 1, 1, 1, 1

L Thor GM @ 15mm x 1, 17mm x 1, VVN, VVN, 15mm x 1, 1

 

2) One Armed RT Reverse Curls

22# x 20/20, 19/16, 17/16

Cardio and some Coaching

February 22, 2011

Hit the treadmill for a walk last night while I coached the boy a bit.

Treadmill
30 minutes = 1.3 miles

I did some hub lifting after that and played with my wide pinch trainer (4" HSS) and did a bunch of pulls at ~54#. I dropped it down to 37# for the boy to and he came very close to lock out. I managed some thumb/index finger lifts with it with my right hand.

Here's what I had the boy doing last night. He's actually learning squat and pull form quite well but needs some more time on his pressing movements.

1a) Trapbar Deads - 3 sets of 5
1b) Bench Press - 3 sets of 8
2a) Ring Rows - 3 sets of max
2b) Wide Pinch - 3 sets of max

Squats and Pinching

I've been a bit on again, off again this week due to life stuff. Oh well, my left elbow is still on the mend, it feels okay but if I push it it flares up so I'm still keeping away from rowing and pressing movements.

 

I'm not sure what all I've logged this week but here are some highlights:

 

February 14, 2011

Recieved my order from the States and got to attempt and do a 5 x 10's loose pinch lift. Throughout the day I also did tons of choker work with an elite choked to 20mm for my right and my hard Thor GM choked to 15mm for my left.

 

February 15, 2011

I gave my very first go at mid-length bar (30" x 5/8" A36) braced bending. It folded but took about 7 minutes or so. I learned a bunch.

 

February 16, 2011

Brought my Vulcan to work and it tweaked my elbow again. I'll stick with the choker work for a bit. I gave another go at 30" x 5/8" A36 and got it down to about 5:30 minutes or so. I faultered with my leg crush. If I remember to just let the loop go out behind me next time it'll go much quicker.
