My name is Steven , I am a fatty. Member 6048, 393 posts | Thanks for the info Billy. I may have to get a narrow belt. Today I got a ~3 inch thick pipe. Tied a piece of rope round it, then at the end of the length of rope I tied on a 5 kg plate. I then twisted it up until the plate was at the pipe, then twisted it down. Did this with hands supinated and pronated. 4 sets each way. | ||

My name is Steven , I am a fatty. Member 6048, 393 posts | Post Edited: 25.08.2016 @ 22:29 PM by StevenFatty I shouldn't have trained today...I still needed rest but I trained anyway.20 rep safety bar squats 80 kg, stalled at 15 reps due to nausea. I had a quick rest and then did the other 5. This is an improvement over last time, when I stalled at 14 and then continued at a lower weight. Log-Press A conservative estimate is that the log is 30 kg. It may be more. Based on 30 Kg..I did... 40 X 3 50 X 3 50 X 3 50 X 4 (it is possible I have miss-memorised the weights entirely. DB Press 22.6 kg 4 sets. Fat Bar Pulldowns 4 sets ... my grip is adjusting to these nicely. Grip Work 150 kg on barbell lifted one inch of rack and held DOH for as long as possible X many 100kg X a few sets. Plate pinch....3 large 5 plates held as long as possible 2 sets each side. Crucifix hold with 8 kg kettle bells...good for grip and shoulders. Rope Machine for as long as possible 2 sets. Walked home. | ||

My name is Steven , I am a fatty. Member 6048, 393 posts | Deadlifts 150 X 5 (first 4 doh) 150 X 5 150 X 5 (first three no belt) Belt is a serious problem now, even worn loose I cannot get down to the bar will a belly full of air. Its ruining my set up. Need a narrow belt. If that doesn't work I'm buggered, because I like to have a belt for deadlifts. Stiff Legged Deadlifts (obviously all doh and beltless) 110 X 5 110 X 5 110 X 5 DB incline Press 30 kg each side 3 sets 20 kg each side 1 set. Walked home through the sun.

My name is Steven , I am a fatty. Member 6048, 393 posts | Post Edited: 04.09.2016 @ 23:36 PM by StevenFatty Grip Work Made a pinch grip device. Has wide pinches, very wide pinch and a narrow pinch. Made out of an old piece of railway line. It's heavy, but I don't know what weight. Did some narrow pinches and medium wide pinches. Added another 5kg to my wrist roller, so now its 10 kg. Did three sets each for supinated and pronated. Then double hand pinched a 10 kg old nylon plate, put it down just before failed then immediately lifted X many. | ||

Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Various sledge hammers of different weights while watching the boob tube works great. Watch and train weird angles and varying weights by changing distances. | ||

My name is Steven , I am a fatty. Member 6048, 393 posts | Post Edited: 05.09.2016 @ 12:27 PM by StevenFatty Thanks Billy. I have been using a sledge hammer in the gym, doing levers. I am going to spice up the diversity if of sledge hammer work as you suggest. As I can only get to the gym twice a week, I am trying to build up some training equipment at home. I now have a 3" thick wrist roller and and pinch grip device I have made. My dad has some kind of sledge hammer that he is going to give me, and he is going to get me a bag of sand from where he works. I have asked the local pub for a beer keg. | ||
