Rough today. Cellar was 57 degrees F. "Cold plate sting"
What the fuck is with Baraban ripping off Horne's Vulcan gripper? From this point forward we will NEVER buy/recommend/use any Baraban products. Go fuck yourself.

Sunday - 3/29
Murdered all week. Vmware ESX is my new mistress.
Did not miss any workouts. Followed same template. Improving on new model Rolling Thunder. For me, it feels as if fingertips and wrists are the biggest factors.
We just caught up on the IM news from the 24th. It looks like they are doing their own grip contests, with the assistance from some strongman federation. We will leave the "conspiracy theories" to others for now. ;) It's interesting to follow the time line of the drop-outs from the WD'all contest, the silence from the former legend, and one of the drop-outs claiming he never committed and the other two not knowing they dropped out.

Have not missed any workouts. Too fucking busy and tired to post.
We find it amusing that the former legend's proteges seemed to have no idea that they
had pulled out of the big W'dll Grip Challenge.

Right - Plate Pinching
Left - Blob50 pinching
Levering, Titans, reverse DB wrist curl, DB wrist curl
Don't let ego get in the way with Titan's Telegraph work. Go medium,
focus on the pinching. Otherwise you may end up with a nasty thumb pad injury.

On the Road
Still vacationing.
Caught up on the regular interval of who will TNS the #4, and the always co-joined subject of Joe Kinney.
We have no doubt Kinney closed a #4, but with the history of earlier IM grippers varying wildly in resistance, this #4 could very well have been a 3.5. When it was tested by IM and found to be "full strength" by IM, we ask, how was it tested? Did a #2 closer give it a squeeze and declare it harder than a #3? Was a "redneck" type calibrator used? Or did a former legend just declare it a #4 from long distance?
"Fucking Nut Bags" ;)

Supposed to climb into the 60's today. Woo Hoo!
Grip Training
New Model Rolling Thunder - 3x10. As stated before, the handle is not "smooth". It has fine
grooves along it's circumference. It resembles the surface of a vinyl record album. Young gripsters will not know what that is.
Right - Plate Pinching. Split fucking thumb on last set.
Left - Blob50 Pinching
Levering, reverse DB wrist curl, Titan's
We got the new MILO this week. In flipping through it we were greeted with photos of a shirtless, boxer short outfitted J Brookfield dumping a bucket of water on his head. What in the frig is going on with grip people? Other than that some of the other articles were pretty good. We'll pour through it tonight.

5AM - Fucking 9 degrees F. outside. Cellar frozen. Forgot to start space heater.
Grip Training
New Model Rolling Thunder - 3x10
Right - Plate pinching
Left - Blob50 Pinching. For the many newbies visiting, YES this is EQUAL to a fucking York Blob, ignore the former legends. If you want an excellent tool for blob training, get a PDA Blobette.
Twist yo' wrist, Titans Telegraph, reverse ghetto formulator. If you paid for a "real" formulator, you got hoodwinked.
We eagerly await the results of the Arnold Grip Gauntlet. ;)

Snow coming!
Grip Training
New Model Rolling Thunder - 3 x 10. It's practically a pinch.
Right - Plate Pinching + chains
Left - Blob50 Pinching
Levering, Titans, Reverse DB wrist curls, DB wrist curls.
Isn't amazing that nearly all of the OFFICIAL records in gripdom have been set in small venues and backyards? These records have been on a continuous ascent since we've been a member of our beloved grip forum. Our niche sport is now hitting numbers that a few years ago were considered impossible. The former legends and kings are having a difficult time struggling with their egos. We'll say it again - "Fucking Nut Bags". ;)
And what the fuck is wrong with fucking neoprene elbow sleeves? Every photo I have ever seen of Slim the Hammerman, has him wearing those goofy B&D leather wrist braces. Does that mean he has never officially performed any of his feats?
