Thursday
Coached Nathan an Kaylum. Trained at the same time as Nev, Seb and Marick this evening. Earlier, while looking for the still not found tin opener I managed to slice my left hand middle finger on a very sharp knife. This made gripper work impossible. I warmed up ok only to have the wound start bleeding once I got to the CoC 3 gripper. So right hand only then. I also did a little more work than usual on the Heavy Grip grippers as I have been hired to assist the Heavy Grips UK distributor at Bodypower (I asked and they said yes).
T/Grippers
usual warm ups then: CoC 3 x 2 x 1 reps, HG 350 (older version) x 3 x 1, HG350 (new) x 3 x 1 reps, BBE x 1 rep, CoC 3.5 x 1, VVN (poor set), 1, VVN
MDB
Started off poorly worked to a hold at almost a full deadlift. MDB = Millennium Dumbell.
One hand lifts (various)
150-kilo dumbbell, 180-kilos on set up, then 220-kilos (just). All for fun. Seb and Marick had a go as well. Not done these for months.06, 08, 09 and now 2010 British (4x) and 2008/2010 European Grip Champion (2x)

Monday
Some issues with one tenant (seemed to have missed the weekend and his tagged curfew... awoke today and saw he was still in and pointed out it was Monday which came as a shock to him) to deal with. Printer is playing up as well grrr. I think Naz is off doing his SIA course so went to Gymnation (warmer - back to freezing locally).
T/Grippers
worked to similar levels as last week but was able to use left hand. I went to a few attempts at an HG350 with that hand (near only) and BBSE x 2 x 1 reps right.
V/Bench

Coached Naz, Seb and Jacek and worked the Rolling Thunder hard (see note).
Rolling Thunder using older handle
As per weight is load only. I'm using my older handle as I think it compares the most like the latest version IM have for sale. I know Mark pulled 301lbs on the previous model (and this is quoted as the record on their site) but has pulled 271lbs on the newer one. I (as per YT video) pulled 276lbs on a new one Sam Solomi brought for me to try. No one pulled more than 260 at the most recent event (Vice Grip Viking Challenge at the FitExpo in LA).
B/H: 60-kilos a hand x 6 reps @, 80-kilos a hand x 3 reps @, 100-kilos x 1-2 x 1 rep @ (inc one for publicity photo).
L/H: tried 115-kilos, dropped to 110-kilos x 2 x 1 reps, 112.5-kilos (easy) x 1 rep, 113.75-kilos x 1 rep, 115-kilos (solid) x 1 rep and 116.25-kilos x fail
R/H: 122.5-kilos x 4 (may have been 5) x 1 reps. 1 or 2 more singles more than last time.
I'm working this hard 1-2 times a week (I need to watch I do not start stalling as I get to peak strength on this as has happened before) as I am promoting (with a LOT of help from Dennie Felix) and competing in a competition to be held at the NEC/ Bodypower. Supported by Bodypower (I'll be on their site later) and with Ironmind sponsorship. Last year some 25,000 people came through the main doors over the weekend and the strength arena had crowds of at least 1000 most of the day. The event will be open to all (with a limit on numbers of course) and 'joes' have to pull a qualifying poundage. Then they go up against WSM competitors including Mark Felix, Terry Hollands and more. I aim to to VERY well.06, 08, 09 and now 2010 British (4x) and 2008/2010 European Grip Champion (2x)

Grip question advise if you dont mind.
Getting ready for a deadlift meet on April 2nd. Have not competed since '02. Back strength is comming along nicely, but my grip is not. Im an over under. Have relied way too much on straps while lifting past several years, and now paying for it. Think just working some timed holds out of power rack with over under grip will bring it up fast enough, or do you feel I would need more variety in the grip work? Thanks for any help you may provide.
