Tuesday - 10/31

530AM
Lower back/ab warmup

Lower arms a bit sore going in.

Grip Training

Left - Blob50 - Index tap assists, right toe to left toe arcs - 5 singles. Pauses before placing on ground , all reps under control.
New Addition - I stacked 4 pieces of hard drive packing foam on floor, and placed Blob50 on top of it. Blob pressed through foam to the floor. Did 3 sets 3 reps, picking implement up until it cleared the foam by a few inches. NO index taps assists here. NO BOUNCING. Be careful of turning this into a ballistic movement, it's easy to get a boost of false confidence and even easier to get a thumb injury. Being that the implement pressed right to the floor, and did not tip over, I'd say it's just adding barely enough "oomph" to get it started. Left hand is coming back.

Right Hand - PDA Blobette - 46.5lbs base weight. 10 full deadlift singles. Incrementing up each set with Platemates. Last 4 singles with +2.5lbs in Platemates. Quick pulls, emphasize form. If you have a Blobette, you probably have a good idea of what a ball buster this thing is to pick up. ;)

Did twist levering with big 3/4" ratchet handle and Platemates.
