Grip training…

Saturday, 7 May 2011
30 mins

Warmup

Midi Red gripper: 12, 10

Heavy Red gripper: 10, 8

CoC #1.5: 8, 6, 1 hard-neg (~20 secs), 1 hard-neg (~10 secs)

Forearm bar: 12/12, 12/12 @ 14kg

Forearm curl (two-handed grab): 15, 12 @ 10kg

Extensor levering (table leg+): 12, 12 @ 1kg

Plate pinch: to-failure x 2 @ 12kg
[I inserted a 2kg palte between two 5kg plates, which was unwieldy to set up, but added a nice fail-detector: as my grip weakens, the 2kg-plate scrapes downward.]

2" dumbbell throttle: to-failure x 2 @ 12kg

2" wrist roller: 12kg x 3

+ + +

This was a scorching workout! I hurried home after class and had to train fast so we could get to a movie (Thor, which was better than I expected, not that I had low expectations, though I would have opted out of a 3D viewing) on time.

I closed the #1.5 twice with both hands, though my right hand had greater authority. Maybe it will only be a couple more months until I invest in #2!

I did a nice little ab/core workout tonight (gut wrencher, mace bell, ab wheel, etc.).

I'd like to do Even Keel #2 tomorrow, maybe in the early afternoon. I want a good night of sleep.

I had a disturbing dream last night about not being able to find my scooter/motorcycle in what was an existential blend of my college campus and my life as a teacher in Taiwan, as well as about covert cartel operations going on in my mom's house, unbeknownst to us for years. Well, God bless and Happy Mother's Day!
