Grip training
30-40 mins, 97.5kg
WARMUP
Midi red: 12, 10
Heavy red: 7, 6
CoC #1.5:
6 [4 closes on right hand, 3 closes on left hand]
6 [3 closes on r.h., 2 closes on l.h.]
1 hard-neg ~20 secs
1 hard-neg ~10 secs
Midi red strap hold (1kg?):
l.h. ~30 secs
r.h. ~30 secs
l.h. ~20 secs
Leaning towel grab: 1+ min, 40 secs
[I wrapped the towel around an emergency crane post by the window and leaned by while grabbing the towel. Hard to go to failure on these, but they're quite unpleasant.]
Stool leveraging (brachioradialis, extensor, rotation)
r.h. 15, 15, 25 x 2
l.h. 20, 20, 30 x 2
+ + +
I did this workout at my cram school in a classroom not being used from 5-6PM, which was a boon, since I could blast the A/C and not be a sweaty beast for my next class.
My right hand is taking the lead over my left hand, so I need to do some supplemental training for my left hand. I had trouble keeping the gripper set right in my hand today. I have found my left pinky doesn't wrap far enough around my midi- and heavy-red grippers, so I am having to compensate for a posture weakness in that.
It should be another month before I invest in a #2 CoC. I think if I did a light warmup and tried for max closes on the #1.5 now, I could do 6 and 5 r.h./l.h. Stay tuned.
