    60-kilos x 8 reps, 100-kilos x 6 reps, 140-kilos x 3 reps, 180-kilos x 3 reps, 200-kilos x dizzy/stopped/failed

    RT
    B/H: 80-kilos x 6 reps @, 100-kilos x 3 reps @, 115-kilos x 1 rep @, 120-kilos x 1 rep @, 130-kilos x 1 rep @ (nice for left hand). 140-kilos x F (right only), dropped to 100-kilos x 8 reps @ (was more there but stopped).

    Tuesday
    I'm taking a careful approach to training, same as I did last week. So I did a chest n back workout today and it'll be grippers tomorrow and that's it. I need my glands (in my neck) to go down as they can indicate I'm over doing it and to be rested for a hard weekend again.

    CG Bench
    Warmed up then 60-kilos x 8 reps, 80-kilos x 8 reps, 112.5-kilos x 4 reps, 120-kilos x 1 rep, 130-kilos x 1 rep and back down to 60-kilos x 15 reps

    Iso-lever 1-arm row
    Worked with a young lad who was on it before me. 20-kilos x 8 reps, 40-kilos x 8 reps, 60-kilos x 8 reps, 75-kilos x 6 reps.

    And that was that.

    Ouch. As only a little while previously stated (you get to moan loads when you hit a certain age and so I am taking full advantage) my palms are torn. Not much but just in the sweet spot where you anchor the end of a gripper. My right is almost healed but I felt like I was pulling on the tear on my left.

    Now the skin of your palms etc heal real quick. A week would do it and although I thought about it I wasn't sure if I wanted to leave it a week without hitting grippers. This morning my left thumb was remind me that picking up rounded end solid dumbbells (York style) by their heads is a width too far if you over extend. Combine that with the other grip stuff we did at Bulks and that hurt today.


    So all I could do was work to 5/5 x a rep or two on the Vulcan and then some light sets and reps with my handy HG300. If I am lucky I might get a little scare tissue and the gripper will anchor just so. Always looking on the bright side.

    Thursday
    First time back on gripper work since the weekend. That time and the forearm curls yesterday meant the first few sets felt harder than usual even so, all things considered, it was an ok workout.

    V/Gripper
    B/H: 1/1 x 8 reps @, 3/3 x 3 reps @, 5/5 x 1 rep @
    L/H: 5/6 x 3 x 1 reps, 6/5 x 1, TnG, VN
    R/H: 5/6 x 1 rep, 6/5 x 1 rep, 6/6 x 3 x 1 rep (1st was poorly set), 6/7 x TnG, TnG, N

    Most of the work, bar the last right hand effort, was done sitting on the floor.

    Hey Mobster, can or have you crushed (exploded) an unopened soda/beer can with your grip?

    No. It is also a waste of a drink so I've never tried (esp beer).

    Friday
    A fun morning... certainly non-standard. Up early to make sure my brain etc is ready for the Olympic Torch procession (pics on FB). Which meant I was in Beef's Gym at 9.30am. I had a coffee brought in a petrol station with a caffeine tablet to get me wired.

    Iso Press
    No adjustable bench available for Jones machine
    handles x 12 reps, 20-kilos a side x 8 reps, 40-kilos a side x 8 reps, 55-kilos a side x 6 hard reps (s) - 20-kilos a side x 10 reps.

    Alt DB Curls
    Did these strict. 10-kilos x 12 reps, 15-kilos x 10 reps, 20-kilos x 8 reps (lighter than last time but better form) - 7.5-kilos x 20 reps = pumped.

    1 arm TPD (DR)
    Struggled to get elbow supports on for last set so did without.
    30-kilos x 12 reps, 45-kilos x 10 reps, 55-kilos x 8 reps - over to TPD (standard form) 45-kilos x 15 reps

    F/Gripz DB Holds
    Made left hand little finger bleed on first set somehow. So taped up and carried on.
    50-kilos x 22, 25 and 25 reps, took gripz off and did another 15-20 secs. All times approx.

    Tuesday
    Even allowing for the heat training today was stupidly hard. My hips and knees aches on squats and leg press (less on this). My back did NOT like the rack pulls and my left wrist (front side) was not liking the wrist curls. All in all it was aches and pains. Bwt down to 280 from 282 but that may have just been water.

    Squats
    bar x 12 reps, 60-kilos x 12 reps (feet on floor) 60-kilos x 2 x 12 reps (heels elevated). I'm using straps to hold onto the bar as my wrists and shoulders do not like the usual holding the bar position at all.

    Leg press
    to 380-kilos x 15 hard reps

    Rack pulls (4-6 inches)
    to 220-kilos x 3 x 1 reps. Back was not liking this at all. I was getting pins and needles up the right hand side.

    F/W/Curls
    to
    R/H: 42.5-kilos x 6 reps - 20-kilos x 15 reps - inside of elbow twinging
    L/H: tried 42.5... dropped to 35-kilos x 6 reps - 20-kilos x 15 reps
