Work with the grippers
Soundtrack Vader Excellent polish death metal, its heavy, fast and with a lot of attitude. Perfect for a workout.
A bit disappointed that I missed out by one rep on the bench but I really can be disappointed by the rapid improvement. It will be interesting to see just how much my 1rm has improved. My work with the CoC has stalled a bit. I can still only close the no1 4 times. I think since grip is no long so much of a problem I may have slacked off using the grippers, I will have to go back to training with them every other day.

Nice to see another metal fan. Don't like all the bands you've mentioned but i am a massive Gojira fan. Nice lifting too.

Cheers mate
Yeah, Gojira are awesome. Terra Incognita is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Cant wait for the new album this summer (and hopefully the preceeding tour).

Seen them a couple of times over the past few years. Never been disappointed. With them being a European band i would expect a European tour following the album release.

Soundtrack Acid Bath Pure Louisiana sludge metal. Perfect for grinding out that last few reps. The album ‘When the kite string pops’ is one of the greatest sludge albums of all time.
Missed 4x5 at 130 by 1 rep again. It still represents a steady increase in strength. Im moving quite nicely through the weights now. I could still put more weight on that stiff leg deadlift.

Soundtrack Exodus No frills old school thrash, as it was, as it shall always be.
Quick Saturday afternoon workout. Was a bit hurried because my gym was about to close. Still happy with the weight I put up. Hopefully manage 175 x 4 x 4 this week. I have been trying for years to add reps to my chin ups. I have never managed and I think this represents some imbalance of mine. I am now trying to add weight and build up my 5 rep max.

Soundtrack Immortal Im not a huge black metal fan but Immortal are just awesome.
Chuffed with the weight again. Its going up steadily and that is what I am after. My comp is 20th May so I have one more week after this one of normal training, then I am going to hit some singles the week after. Closed the 140lb grippers 5 times which is a PB for me.

The bad news is that i gained a kg. Putting me around 81. The last thing i want to do is start cutting back on food now but i am a little worried about that 82.5 now. I might just dial back a little and see how it goes.
