Saturday - 11/4

Was at work early 5AMish.
7AM
Warmed up with Jumpstretch band good mornings and abs.

Grip Training

Left - BLOB50 - using 4 foam de-load. 8 sets of 3. Concentrated on getting air time on each rep. Worked up to +1.25lbs in Platemates. Last 2 sets took off Platemates and did a few full deadlifts. Solid improvement. Wrist almost at 100%. Remember, the foam is merely a de-load device (not much, it's pretty flimsy). NOT a ballistic movement. The key is control.

Right - PDA Blobette 46.5lbs base weight - Deadlifts - 8 singles - worked up to +5lbs in Platemates. +5lbs set slipped out before full rep. Oh well. If you are a noob to the blog, in my case the PDA Blobette is MUCH harder then a BLOB50, and a tad harder than an old York. 46lbs on Blobette should net you a Blob50 replica lift, and some air under an old York. Don't get me wrong, the BLOB50 is tuff. The Blobette is just a bit bigger and wider than the York and Blob50, and its surface is less forgiving. You may have a different story.

Fooled with sledge levering and side to side wrist twists with ratchet to finish up.
