Mobster trains Grip HARD! And other stuff too...

[Mobster]

Monday
Leg Press
to 670-kilos x 8 reps

SSB Squats
I made a right meal of this. Too busy BS'ing with the boys before the last set. So I go back to the rack and bottomed out on the pins on rep 1. Embarrassed and annoyed (plus 2 girls were adjacent) I gritted my teeth and monstered it back up and then ground out another 7 reps (8 total when I'd wanted 6). So
145-kilos x 8 reps

Seated Leg Curls
to stack +5.5p x 20 r/p reps

Leg Extensions
to stack x 20 r/p reps

Bwt: 298lbs

Tuesday
Two Hand Pinch
Equ (27.7kg) x 20 reps, 57.7-kilos x 20 reps, 84.95-kilos x 10+10* reps in about 60-seconds
*The pause will be re-chalking and a few steps away. Slowly adding weight and the 2x10 is a good sign too

You’re one of the Last Men Standing. Thanks for continuing to post to your training journal, brother.

I wanna be doing this when I'm 70+

I wanna be doing this when I'm 70+

I hope I’m there to wish you a Happy Birthday and to congratulate you on THAT journal entry! Lol

(Because I’ll be 90 when you’re 70, I mean.)

It gets harder every year Steve, believe me.

I hope we both can do this at 70+ and for me, only 7.5 yrs to go!

It's only a few months before I can take a piece of my private pension if I want to - hot damn!

Thursday
Windy as f**k last night. So my sleep was less than it ought to have been.

Close Grip Bench Press
to 155-kilos x 3 x 1 reps (last one was with a spot - he may have helped me more than I'd like)


DB Rows
to 90-kilos x 8 reps (used a wrist strap - made it easy)


DOHTBDL-TO
to 190-kilos x 5 reps (hands starting to open)

[Mobster]

Friday
At the gym early (around 7.30am). Another windy night (40mph)

Seated Press
to 100-kilos x 5 (wanted 6) reps

Hammer DB Curls
I did Sam Parker's challenge of 70's x 4 (I did 6 reps) per hand dropping to 35-kilos (I did 10 reps). No straps (I only use 'em on the 90's)

Tricep PUSHDowns
to stack x 12 reps

Wrist Roller
to 12.5-kilos x 2 x 1 reps (ran out of time)

Monday
Leg Press
to 690-kilos x 8 reps. As always it's footplate x 20 reps to warm the legs, hips etc up. Then 200-kilos x 8 and 400-kilos x 8 to prepare. These are done to depth. The max is, as always, done to a shallower depth (from the safety bars)

SSB Squats
to 150-kilos x 6 reps. To the point where my ass hit's a bench (it means I make depth every time).

Seated Leg Curls
to the stack + 5.5p x 12+4+4 reps (again the squats take the edge off)

Leg Extensions
to the stack x 15+5 reps
