What the fuck is with all the hoopla SPAM email about the goddamn Fictional trap bar? These bars have been readily available all over the internet for years. There is nothing new. We posted about acquiring a trap months ago. My two local fitness places have been carrying trap bars since Jesus was in short pants. Now today I pick up the PL USA at Borders to flip through with my espresso, and I'm greeted with a advert-article about this piece of shit. Now I know why I stopped subscribing. ;)
Look people, don't get your ass reamed with overpriced hype. Shop around.

Tuesday - Post Mortem
Hands feel pretty good. Surprisingly the right thumb web has been holding up pretty good the past few weeks. That would explain the excellent rides the 2x45 Yorks have been taking. Hand lotion sounds effeminate but it works people.
The left blob work is starting to pay off. It has been worth specializing these past few months.
If you are a hand size whiner, the grip teat is dry, move on.
There is No Quarter in the grip world.

Left - PDA Blobette Pinch work. Felt pretty good so fooled around with my original Blob50. Got some air with +3.125lbs of Platemates.

Time For the Monthly Cycle of Large vs Small Hand Whining
Another hand size debate has emerged from the grip pus bowl on the GB. Now we must be forced to re-visit the Rolling Thunder records. Look people, hand sizes vary, just like the infernal CoC grippers. This hand size deliberation always turns into a whine-fest. To us, the initiation of hand size divisions is like comparing the Little League to the Majors. Put your friggin time in and worry about getting stronger, instead of wasting energy with this stupidity.

Titans Telegraph
EZ Curls Reverse Curls
Light Plate pinching is usually a York 45 + York 25. If your goal is to pull 2x45's, you need to get used to the torque of the taller plates. Always having a 45 in the mix will get you used to the taller, torue-ier groove. The York 25 is nearly identical in thickness and texture as the York 45. Heavier days will be 45+25 for warm up, then move to 45+45 and Platemates as needed.
The PDA Blobette is at 42.5lbs, on heavier days Platemates are added. Or if the weather is good, I'll go outside and work with the Blob50.

The Old Days
We could not help but notice a recent post on the GB asking where some of the grip monsters of a few years ago disappeared to.
We at Ye Olde Grippe Clubhouse, suspect at first glance that most of the defection was due to
the emergence of "guru's" peddling their ilk and their ball swinging, goose stepping acolytes. But then again we have been wrong before. ;)

New BLOB50 Arrives
When I got home, my new GordonV Blob50 was waiting.
I took it outside to the garage, chalked up and stumbled through
a warmup. I was just getting sore from this morning's session and this
damn thing has to arrive.
I got a few full deadlifts with the Left hand after a sloppy, frustating
warmup.
It is without reservation that we recommend grabbing one of them now.
If you are a ways away, get it anyway, then either deload, do the couch
cushion technique, or get a PDA Blobette. The blobette is nice because
you will be able to hone the "breaking off ground" technique.
I will now light a celebratory La Gloria Cubana Corana Gorda.
I took it outside to the garage, chalked up and stumbled through
a warmup. I was just getting sore from this morning's session and this
damn thing has to arrive.
I got a few full deadlifts with the Left hand after a sloppy, frustating
warmup.

Monday - 10/1
Al Oerter Died - Bow your head to a legend. RIP
530AM
YMCA
Close Grip Benches - 5 sets of 12, last 3 with 315. I am getting too old for this shit.
Hammer Flat, Decline, Incline - 2 passes
Rope pullovers - 4x12
Abs
My bad elbow, is becoming badder.
What the fuck is with these pinheads who are upset with Jay Cutler winning the Olympia?
We say congratulations. I have his DVD from a year or two ago. It's pretty good, and he treats his 2 dogs well. Remember, he gets out there and puts it on the line, unlike the phony gurus currently peddling their offal on the 'net.
