 not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 21.06.2014 @ 21:08 PM by uzalad I don't train grippers often to be honest but when I do I also attempt wrist curls and reverse wrist curls. I should really stick them back in but the trouble is that you basically can't do pulling exercises with any serious effort for at least a day afterward. I stopped doing them because I was getting a little obsessed with pull ups (which I suppose trained grip as well). | ||

 suited and strapped Member 1162, 774 posts SQ 220, BP 132.5, DL 240592.5 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | I have trained grip as much as 7 days a week, but your right you cant do the same thing for a day. I would train supporting/wrist on the same day as pulling exercises and gripper/pich on other days so it doesn't mess up your lifts. cyplenkov wrist curls are very useful how do you like the vulkan? I worked on the redesign from the original. | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | The Vulcan is great, it's big and heavy and makes the Captains of Crush grippers I own feel tiny when I get to them. I'm not sure where my grip is at the moment, probably not great - never was, but I definitely need to bring them back in. I think working on closing the #2 with no set is the main goal, the Vulcan helps a lot with that kind of thing because of the resistance/force curve. Once a #2 with no set is possible a #2.5 from a close set will be there. I don't have any other grip specific equipment, I bought some kettlebells earlier in the year and not really thinking about it ended up being surprised by how much grip training they offer after a few minutes of swings. | ||

suited and strapped Member 1162, 774 posts SQ 220, BP 132.5, DL 240592.5 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | I have found no sets to be absolutely useless. I have had a lot of progress doing 20mm 60% of the time 30mm 30% credit card 10% i used to think getting the full range of motion was the key, but its always the last 10-20mm that fail, so that's the area needing the most work. forced closes and holds work well too. | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | It's definitely the same for me, fail towards the close. I'll train all areas I guess, definitely attempt something towards the percentages that you have listed. No time today though unfortunately. Didn't train yesterday but did a lot of stuff in the garden so I felt like a lot was done. Today was Front squat, beltless up to 135kg x1, 125kg x2 Stiff legged deadlifts up to 115kg 3x5 | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Front squat, beltless up to 120 kg x 4 Snatch high pulls from the floor, 80 kg 6 x 2 Full snatch, 40 kg 4 x 2 You know how this long has the word injury in the title? Well for some reason my right calf is killing me. Basically 3/4 of the way up on the outside but deep in the muscle kind of behind the bone. This has been hurting for 3 days now. | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Calf injury is not getting better? Typical. Didn't train yesterday, raining tonight so I can't train - not really sure what to do (icing it, ibuprofen), been bad all week. Did a little highlight reel of the week, hopefully can train next week. I think that the schedule of training now will be to do comfortable squats at the end of my sessions and practice the variations of Olympic lifts that I can do. | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Calf still injured, assuming it's a strain of some kind and just resting it. I've been stretching it through yoga, taking ibuprofen and icing it a few times a day. 28/06/2014 training Yoga 15 minutes Grippers training 29/06/2014 training Yoga 20 minutes Pull ups 5 reps on the minute x 10 (slight pause at top and bottom) Kettlebell figure 8, 3 sets x 10 each side w/ 16kg Kettlebell single leg RDL, 3 x 8 each side w/ 16kg Reverting to some of the stuff I did before I got my squat stands at home, hopefully my calf will be better next week. | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | I had a physio last Tuesday, apparently the shoulder issue I've been having is related to my AC joint, I've got a few exercises to do and another appointment later in the month with another physio who is possibly more suited to my attempt at rehabbing (I guess for sport?) I've been doing the exercises and more since then, twice a day at least. An issue with this type of injury is that they are massively affected by things like front squats and cleans, which I have been doing a lot and haven't really noticed any additional pain at all. I've stopped for now. Been doing pull ups, snatches, snatch pulls and yoga. | ||

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | I've been rehabbing my shoulder quite a bit and stretching the rest of the body a lot too. Not sure anything is getting better but I have another physio session coming up so maybe they'll add a bit more to the program or advise on other possible treatments. Anyway, as for proper training - 11/07/2014 Snatch "high" pulls - up to 90kg 8x2 (not sure how "high" some of these were) Back squats - warmed up to 110kg and did three sets, just feeling it out, my calf was fine before training and is not so fine now. More rest needed there. 12/07/2014 Snatch high pulls up to 80kg 2x2 Snatch grip stiff legged deadlifts up to 100kg x3 Clean grip stiff legged deadlifts up to 120kg x3 Clean grip deadlift up to 140kg x1 Basically just kept adding weight to the bar, this was a good session and quite a lot of volume with a lot of sets between everything stated. | ||
