Afternoon Grip Workout
2 min rests between all sets
Hex 25 H2H X 10
Blob 30 H2H X10
35 X 2
37.5 X 1
40 X no go
BBSM X 1 (closed) / #1 X 1
37.5 X 1
RB260N X 1 (killed it) / #1 X 1
40 X nope
BBGM X 1 (within 1 cm) / #2 X 2
40 X still a no go
37.5 X 1
30 H2H X 10
#1 X 10 / #T X 10
37.5 X 1 (to lockout)
#T X 5 & Hold / nothing on the left
Notes:
A strange grip workout. On the pinch, the right hand felt weak, but the left felt very strong. On the grippers, the right felt strong but the left felt weak. Who knows. I do know that I killed the BBSM on the right. That is awsome and a new PR. I really think it had more to do with setting the gripper than with an increase in strength. The more I work with the grippers, the more I realize that there is a lot of technique involved - and that makes me enjoy it all the more. I think I have come to a new level and understanding in setting the gripper. It is only a matter of time until the BBGM goes down - I'm thinking by Christmas if I train smart.
On the other hand, I really thought that I was going to have an easier time with the 40lb blob. The 37.5 blob goes up no problem, but the 40 just won't budge. Not sure what the deal is, and I think I may ask the good folks at the gripboard. Either way, the 40lb blob is definately on the goal target radar. Maybe I should make that a goal for Christmas too.
