    Saturday
    2" FBBC V-Bar
    Need to ask Twig and check with records etc regarding either seasoning or removal of paint (already happening through use). I degreased my hands and did some work on it and then switched to more weight using the other set up.


    B/H: Bar (10.7-kilos) + 40-kilos x 3 reps@, plus 60-kilos x 2 reps@, plus 80-kilos x 1 rep@, plus 95-kilos x 0 reps@
    Changed to other set up: plus 95-kilos x 1 rep@, 110-kilos x 1/2 rep L/H: and 1 rep RH
    L/H: 110-kilos x 0 reps
    R/H: 115-kilos x 1 rep, 120-kilos x 1 rep, 125-kilos x 0 reps


    RT (old handle)

    B/H: started at 100-kilos x 1 rep@, 110-kilos x 1 rep@, 115-kilos x 1 rep@, 120-kilos x 1 rep@
    L/H: 125-kilos x 2 x 1 reps, missed the 3rd attempt
    R/H: 140-kilos x 0 reps, 135-kilos x 0 reps, 130-kilos thumbless grip x 1 rep, 135-kilos x 1 rep thumbless grip (thus the thumb must have been worn out plus I can use more wrist action).


    W/Roller (set in rack)
    90-kilo disc x 3 x 1 reps (rolling up only)


    MDB
    Having had the Millennium dumbbell arrive back yesterday and in spite of more or less exhausting my thick bar capabilities I was still able to pick it up 2x right handed. I might even have a pop at Laine's repping record in the no too distant future.

    Came back later and did some more pinch with Loz. Neither of us could max out (both missing 111+ kilos) but we both did 12 reps in under 60 seconds to get the title off of Rob Frampton on www.titlebash.com here: http://www.titlebash.co.uk/title.php?id=258 I'm waiting on Loz's video but mines up.

    Who'd have thunk it... just had a PM on another board over what amounts to a bunch of washer women and girls gossiping over shit. Planks.

    I'm down for this big US win a $1000.00 grip comp being promoted by Chad Woodall. Anyway one of the Gillingham boys (Wade) and two of the Sorinex lads (Big Tex Henderson, Rich some-on-other and a Richard Sorin (as a sponsor) are pulling out because 'comments have been made'. Bunch of fucking girls.

    Rich and Tex are 350lbs, Wade 330 or so and even Sorin is around 280-300lbs. But they are pulling out because of comments? On our chalk board at the back of our rough house gym we have our saying of the moment 'harden the fuck up'. Another is 'man up'.

    If you weight 300+ and can deadlift a house then why pull out cos of 'comments'? For fucks sake. Fucking gaylords.

    I haven't paid my entry fee yet... so having seen the PM said here's my reply 'can I pay NOW by paypal'. That's my reply.

    Fucking gaylords.

    What? Thats horseshit....pathetic....when did the biggest strongest guys in the world care about what other people think? Were in strength sports because we dont care for being judged on how we look or how big our muscles are...

    And that's my thinking exactly. It started, I think, over some silly 'oh we need to change this and that' and I eventually said something like 'man up' and 'no comp is exactly how we want it to be' (if it was I'd pick what I'm good at). I mean Rich and Tex would have caned my ass on thick bar deads. One of them did a 500+ double over hand raw lift just last week. My current PB is 190-kilos or 418lbs. I'd like 200+ or 440lbs but that's way of 500+.

    I'd like to be privvy to the emails and PM's.

    But the whole thing for me is just pissy.

    Man up, pay the fee, train yer ass off, do yer damned best, win, lose, draw. Then either fill yer boots with a trophy, goods and cash or have a beer after and not give a fuck. C'mon!

    I also paid my fee last night. Get it on!!

    Monday
    Some good orders over the weekend, a silly thing regarding the June comp etc all had in me in a good frame of mind today. Plus up early to the post office etc etc So no it was no great shock I did better than the last few sessions but I'm still grateful

    Vulcan Gripper
    B/H: L1 x 6 reps @, L7 x 3 reps @
    L/H: L12 (meant to go lower) x 1, 1, 1 upped to L13 x VVN, VVN, VVN, VN*, VVN
    R/H: L12 x 1 rep, L14 x 1 rep, L15 x 1, 1, 1 upped to L16 x 1, VVN, VVN, 1*, 1

    * stood up at this point as all the rest had been done sitting down. It makes a difference.

    Also removed paint from FBBC bar to see if that helps (with permission ahem).

    Monday PM
    1HP
    B/H: warmed up with 2 x 15-kilo thin Alex (tm) plates x 3 reps @ using 2HP first then 3 x 2 reps using one hand
    L/H: +pin+1.25-kilo disc x 6 x 1 reps
    R/H: +pin+5-kilos x 6 x 1 reps (v hard)

    Blob
    B/H: 20-kilo blob x 1 rep, then 3 reps,
    L/H: 25-kilos x negs only 2 x 1 reps
    R/H: 25-kilos x postives only 2 x 1 reps (I would pick up with the right and lower down with the left from a bench), I then tried the 30-kilo blob again but got 2 assisted negs only. I then, using string, did some 25-kilo blob plus 1-kilo x several pickups and downs

    V-Bar test
    As before paint scraped off (to 7-inches - confirmed with John Beatty), thus:
    L/H: pin (10.7kg) + 90-kilos (used 90-kilo disc) x 1 rep, 110-kilos x 1 rep, done
    R/H: pin (10.7kg) + 90-kilos (used 90-kilo disc) x 1 rep, 110-kilos x 1 rep, 115-kilos x 1 rep, 125-kilos x 2-3 x 1 rep (all only to 2-inch height. Total weight 135.7-kilos / 298.54lbs I didn't think it was this heavy until I just checked. So a nice new PB

    Like a man that can squat 600 I'd want 650. I always know of someone doing better. Maybe on individual lifts and not as an all rounder but I still want more.

    For example I've yet to do the 30-kilo/66lb blobs but Laine Snook has had air under them. He also did a double Millennium deadlift whereas I did the first EVER one hand deadlift of the same (indeed any lift at all one handed beating Mark Henry by 11 days I think).

    There's a youtube video where he does 7 reps one after another whereas I did 7-10 in on session inc holds at the top on the last few (it was a good night). But I want his record now. Even the one hand pinches are 5-10-kilos (11-22lbs) short of the pair of 45's I want to get for Chad's competition (in the medley).

    Like I say. Never enough.

    That said I was pleasently surprised myself at the V-bar cos I hadn't worked out what it was until I used the PC's calculator. A good day all round. Here's hoping I can do it again tomorrow (starting with shoulders and arms).

    Wait until I start on the magic beans ha ha.

    I like the work Mobster, makes me want to train forearms more than once a week. Construction works my forearms pretty well in between saturdays, but need more strength and size.

    Tuesday (am only - I did enough ha ha)
    2" Thick bar (solid) sumo deadlifts
    Could have been better as REALLY need top work on using legs only.
    I worked from 70-kilos x 5, via 90, 110, 130 and 150 to a sloppy single x 170-kilos but I was all over the place by that point.

    2HP @ 44mm
    As I was warmed up / tired from the deadlifts I made progress quickly
    set up x 3 reps, plus 30-kilos x 3 reps, plus 50-kilos x 1 rep, plus 70-kilos x 1 rep, plus 80-kilos x 1 rep, plus 85-kilos x 5 x 1 reps. I even used the official frame and on the last rep show boated a little by holding it gently against the pin.

    Bonus RT work
    In light of Titlebash RT 75kg for reps I was of a mind to set it up as per the 'rules' (75-kilos total newish handle and rep away for a minute) but couldn't be bothered with 75-kilos (I've been warming up with 90) so just shoved a 90-kilo disc on our lighter loading pin and used the newer of the handles. With Si on the stop watch I got 20 reps in 58 seconds. About 5 with the left and the rest with the right hand only swapping back to rest my right for a few seconds. Come the 15th I'll slaughter the record.
