I could never get into a day like this, grip training has become a real fad.

its not a fad or a trend man.

its life

i love grip training i love it more than lifting.

and ill never quit.

its been around forever it is here to stay and it will continue to grow

12-04-2005, 03:40 PM

I think the card and phone book tearing stuff is sorta dumb but thats just me. To each his own though.

I personally just care about the weights. Not what i can bend or tear.

good luck tomorrow with coan porkster!!

What style do you use to do your card tearing?

PitzaPapa

12-04-2005, 04:55 PM

umm still undecided on my style.

i start the tear 1 way, and then finish it off a diff way lol. 2 hard to splain :)

once i figure out what i do and can tear a respectable amount of cards in a decent amount of time ill be sure to get a vid.

also ironmind red bend vid comin up in 2 weeks. i didnt post it here but 4 days later after military presses, i finished off the red i put to 68° last week. now i know i have the power to sweep 1 and i alrdy knew i could crush them because ive crushed a few. but the sweep part was always holding me back. so i got in a bend workout yesterday. and saturday coming up im going for as many grade 8's as possible. and then the saturday after that gonna hit up a red bend on video and just demolish it if everything goes well.

dec 5th coan week #4

deadlifts
135x8
185x5
225x3
265x1
315x1
345x1
385x2 (not a good set, reps in the tank for sure tho, but coulda been a way better double)

320x3 (**** set)
320x3 (all these sets rocked, powered them hard, with 45s-1 min rests)
320x3
320x3
320x3

bb rows

3x8 @ 155 (pretty easy, cant wait to bump weight and drop reps tho)

chins

bwx8
bwx8
bwx4,3,1 (wow killed the chins, if u look at last week i did 7,7,2,then singles to complete 7 reps for the last set)

as you can see i got off to a slow start, and was lazying it, but then i got crazy and just powered it. instead of 90-120 second rests, i was only taking 45-60 for the speed sets. huge prs on the chins. rows went pretty good except i hit the floor a few times by accident.

then i moved all my weights bar and grip stuff downstairs, cuz i got my room back.

got it all set up with these special anti shock matts or somin with plywood on top so the matts dont get ruined but can still drop weight fast, instead of it hitting concrete. and mom is getting me a 1'' piece of ply wood to stand on to make up for the height the plywood and the matts make under the plates.
the goal is in 4 or 5 months to have a power rack and a db bench and then my gym is pretty much complete(unless i do somin stupid like last time). and then just buy odds and ends and ****.

anywho das all folks

i could barely bend a g5, couldnt bend a g8. i now have a collection of eight grade 8's that are at 90° and another one that is at like 45 degrees.

Good luck with coan monday man!!

id think my floor is probly 250ish.

flat probly 225-240

i dunno ill have a better idea of what my flat max is once i hit up some paused tripples with 205.

my bottom end is pretty weak as u can see with my floor press being more than my bench :D.

I have the complete opposite problem man. Im real strong off the bottom but my mid range lockout point sucks. With your floors though id say you def have at least 225.

dec 17th grip workout

bends

blues x2 (wow my indexes kill, was using im pads)
grade 5 x1 (normally use im for warmups but my indexes were killing so i used leather on this warmup piece)

official ironmind red x1 (stuff at bottom bout dis)
redx68° (not an official red just oldtimes 5/16'' stock)

plate wrist curls

25'sx just some attempts
10+5erx5,6

wrist curls

barx10
65x5
95x3
115x3 (-1 rep pr, still good set tho just tuckered)

levering and finger extensor stuff.

i went to vid the official im red bend, put it to 70ish degrees quickly as usual. then i couldnt sweep the thing, then i realize i had knuckle room to hit it 1 more time, then i kept trying to sweep it, im sweating like crazy, its taking ****ing forever to finish this thing off. i get it to a 2.5'' spread between ends, then windows movie maker stops recording and starts creating the file i dunno maybe i hit somin or whatever. so im like ****. then i put it to well under 2''es after a short rest.

i scrapped the video i didnt let it finish creating. was pissed and didnt want to wait 10 min for it to create the file for a ****ty bend that took forever and didnt even catch the whole thing.

so the bend took me longer then i expected but i got it done. i got a pic of it ruht hur.

this is 1 of the older ironmind reds and its sposed to be pretty tuff compared to the new ones. strength in batches of steel etc varies a lot.

That nail bending is pretty cool. Do you buy them off of ironmind or at a hardware store?

DieselWeasel

Porky is now a world-class bender! :cool:

Now go make it official and get certified by IronMind. :)

PitzaPapa

12-17-2005, 07:45 PM

That nail bending is pretty cool. Do you buy them off of ironmind or at a hardware store?

u guy buy ironmind nails, fbbc nails

or you can go to a steel distributor and buy your own stock and cut it to lengths.

and go to hardware stores and buy bolts etc to bend.

check out www.gripboard.com

diesel- probly not gonna certify, ill need to be pwning a red in under a 1 minute to certify anyways. which i should be able to do in a few weeks. but no interest in certifying

dec 24 grip

just messed around a tad this is spread throughout the day

bent a 5.5'' blue indexes still messed just testing them

tore 2 phone books both 2.25''ers

tore 35 cards , sucked really bad tho, i gotta get better at this, im disgraceful at card tearing lol. i have no idea what im doing.

messed around with my farmers a bit.

took 3 or 4 steps with 250lbs per hand, god thats heavy as hell. and picked them up from ground a few times for fun. i cant wait for some good weather so i can take these out in the backyard and really go at it.

edit did more grip- did some more tearing 20 cards and 24 cards testing out a diff style, i think ima use this way now. did some 25lb hubs, right hand did some lifts, left hand was brutal, some air time once or twice then it just hovered. did some 25ers plate pinch, full lifts both hands a few times, did some passes. and then just messed around with farmers a bit.

dec 27th did some farmers today couldnt wait to try them out.

what a pain in the ass tho carrying 500lbs of plates upstairs and outside in the snow lol.

i shovelled a 30 foot lane in my back yard.

farmers walk

190per hand x 60 feet 1 put down at 50 feet (plates hit some snow and i stumbled and lost it. the turn around at 30 feet is hard omg awkward)

260per hand x 20-25 feet no put downs (heavy as **** i didnt think id take more then a step or two but i surprised myself, almost made 30 feet which was the goal for today)

260 per hand x 50 feet is the goal, i think i may be able to do it pretty soon fresh cuz i just did coan yesterday, but the turn around at 30 feet is going to be brutal, its hard specially cuz ive never done it before.

PitzaPapa

dec 31st grip

terrible terrible terrible. no prs, didnt match any prs, sucked at bending, wrist curls, levers, hubs you name it i sucked.

i then went out back and worked on my backflip. my flips are my tighter and cleaner now. im better at tucking knees and using my arms in the jump for more height. and instead of letting my arms flail around i grab knees when tucking. so im getting faster cleaner spins, i landed quite a few today, not the best landings. i am real tired and sore today so i wasnt getting a lot of jumping power and height. with some rest and some more practice i should be nailing decent flips consistently.

im sore all up the inner thighs, abs, and calves from the backflips from yesterday and today.. i hope the soreness is gone by monday for the deadlifts.

im gonna try and get a vid of a good flip and landing tomorrow. we will see how sore i am tomorrow lol. if im sore tomorrow ill try and get a flip on vid then take a few days off.

thats pretty much it

did some grip today, nothin special just some levers and **** since i pussed out yesterday cuz i had a bad workout.

i need to go do some high rep lifting **** tho, im so ****ing sore and stiff from all the backflips. i need to be loose for tomorrow, its coan day.

edit- just did a bunch of high rep gms, squats, front squats, RDLS, overhead squats, using bar, and just jumped around a bit, calfs still sore. may do another 1 of these before bed and in the morning.

flip vid is gonna have to wait till sometime next week, im too sore and i got coan tomorrow so ill be too tired to do flips for a few days after coan.

bw+45 x1 (-3 rep pr, on this set)

as you can see brutal workout. deadlift sucked, shrugs sucked, rows suck, and chins were sucky suck disgusting. i could barely even chin cuz my abs are still sore.

i think these past 2 **** workouts are from my sleeping hours being messed up, and eating like ****.

i better smoke 415, and 425 single these next two weeks, cuz i really want no less than 450 after coan.

probably no farmers vid this week, we will see tho, the back twinge came back on rows that i got last week from doing farmers the day after coan.

flip vid probably wed-friday sometime in there, im gonna take it easy on my flips until i finish coan, i get too sore if i do too many.

ye me too, but i think i did a lot of damage eating like total crap for 2-3 months and working full time. lost 10-15 lbs of bodyweight.

im sitting at 180 right now. my eating had some slumps lately and i was getting close to 175lbs, but im gonna focus hard and try to get up to 190.

450+ is just the goal for jan 23, im getting back to where i was, i think another 4 or 5 weeks and ill be setting all time prs instead of recent prs.

and 3rd 1 i didnt use my arms on the jump and i under spun and landed on my face, the ground was frozen and it hurt my knee haha, i hobbled back inside.

if u turn up ur speakers you can hear my sister laughing. i ended up with a nice snowball in my pants on the second flip haha.

ye its been a few months, but we just had a lot of snow the past day or 2 so its covered well.

update- did 5 of the nicest flips ive ever done. i really tucked hard and pulled in the knees, i wish i could have gotten these on cam. i was landing fairly erect, and solid, no hand touching at all.

also attempted my first backhand spring. it was so terrible. i basicly dove my head and hands into the ground didnt even flip over, it was brutal, but i got over the fear of trying it now i just need some practice.

im the strongest ive ever been in everything right now except for bench i think.

oyea forgot about squat, my squat isnt the strongest its ever been either because i havent squated in a little over 8 months. i wonder where i am at tho. once i squat again shouldnt take too long to hit an all time pr.

fullback- thnx man. im loving pulls a lot these days. for bench im gonna hit the 2 and 3 boards more often. that is my sticking area, and i havent handled anything over 235 on a bench movement in 8 months so the boards will fix that too. i will also keep hitting the heavy paused tripples and doubles like i have been on bench.. my bench been improving fairly rapidly. its just lagging compared to my other lifts because i didnt bench for a while when i started back lifting. shouldnt be too long before i hit an all time pr.

thnx fullby, it was a pretty good 1, hopefully many more to come.

ye man i hate it too. but i wasnt even supposed to go heavy and i was kind of messing around and it was a good friend, so no biggie. but i was a little mad. if i had planned to set a pr and someone did that then id be real pissed. i should have had my training partner lifting off and spotting me instead of him in the first place.

i dont really like lifting that late. but my training partner couldnt lift any earlier. i like to lift around 4-5pm these days.

i thought i was going to have a terrible workout. not last night but the night before i only had 5 hours of sleep so i was really tired and had no appetite yesterday. but i got lots of sleep tonight, and all i ate was a peanut butter and jelly sammidge, swig of milk and an apple today so far. so i was expecting to not complete the workout.

but it went pretty awsome. i had a couple more tripples in me with 205 still.

You probably hit that PR thanks to me motivating you how to bench properly. The 2 boards was probably due to me not motivating you to have proper tightness yet. I bet if I had a training session with you then you could probably hit your lifetime goal of 2 plates on the bench press after I was through with you.

I didn't want to spoil this for anyone, but in the next week or two I will have 300 in the bag. I 2 board pressed 250 for 10 reps by the way too a few days ago :)

Lets see porky 2 board press 250 for 10 reps.

Porky I am just looking out for you, so I don't see why your getting so mad at me and oldtime is always angry so thats not surprising haha.

And explain this to me Porky, why is my leg size just as big as my upperbody from just bench pressing and bent over rowing and their variations? And why is my vertical leap higher than ever? Sure a squat would make all of that even better, but I don't care about having super big legs where I get rashes on my thighs from them rubbing together while walking.

And if you want to talk PRs with me some more I bet I can hit 205 for 20 reps easy while benching.

you wont talk about your squat or deadlift numbers, only bench. not that i would believe anything you say about your prs in the first place.

just stfu and get out of my journal you 1 lift wonder mother ****er.

Ok this will be my last post in this journal because you called me a "1 lift wonder" when I'm not. I posted my stats because oldtime was saying I couldn't even bench 250.
Just to show that I am not just good at one lift:

1) I also bent over row more than you with probably better form too (I row more than you bench)

2) I lat pulldown more than you

3) I can barbell curl more than you

Obviously I can do more lifts stronger than you, but your not worth the time to look up any more of your PRs.

And Oldslime how much can you bench press? I never saw you post stats or anything? Can you do 135 yet?

You won't feel top notch everytime. You may not get the reps, but you still gotta finish your sets. Drop the weight if you need to. Doing the work is more important than the intensity.

Latley my deadlift has been doin great, I always leave some in the tank now, I never go all out on a deadlift workout.

Try doin some speed work, And leaving some in the tank, See what happens.

march 10th strongman

powercleans

135x5 (deads)
135x3
155x4 (3 front squats on last rep)
185x1

front squats

2x8 @ 185 (im such a wuss, could have 2x10 no prob)

farmer holds

240lbs p/h x 16s (i quit, no desire left to lift)

yoke holds- none

well today sucked. no training partner. didnt eat too much all day, then my mom bought kfc and i had 7 or 8 pieces and a pile of fries in like 5-10min just mowin it back. then i had another piece or 2, and a couple them bite size brownies.

go to workout an hour or 2 later, and feel like ****ing ****. i felt so sick after front squats. really pissed me off. i wussed out hardcore.

i guess i got the pc's and front squats in which is good, my upper back and core could probably use the break from farm and yoke holds. but im still pissed.

this sunday im gonna mess up some insane overhead pressing.

Damn 45 playing cards, is that hard or what. Is it more technique or just brute streangth? You fold them back and forth first or is that cheating?

march 12th (technically 13th lol) ohp

push presses

180x5 (wussed out mentally, 5th rep sucked and my wrists were hurting so i quit, should have had 7 or 8 on this.)

190x5 (5lb pr for 5 repper on second set, last rep literally took 10seconds, still not impressed with my push presses today)

strict yoke press

120x3
160x0 (called it quits here, almost 2am, i should have had this weight but it was so unstable and wobbley i was pressing it slowly. gonna drop weight and do more reps next week on this)

i really half assed it this week. im disappointed. still got a couple prs, but i was far from par this week, my god. tomorrow is deads, ima get wild hopefully and start off the week on a good note.

also just got some more protein power today, and probably pick up chalk tomorrow, im fresh out.
