Thursday - 11/26

8AM

Up late obsessing with Fedora 12/QEMU/KVM and sipping vodka.

Grip Training
Right - Plate pinching with chains through holes. Concentrating on breaking 45's a few inches off ground and moving to side or front. This range seems to be saving me from thumb web tears, and eases pressure on delt while working the hardest part.
Right - Grippers. Practice with credit card set. Holds with Go Really

Who else has noticed the fleeting Kinney DVD mentions on our beloved grip forum by barely registered "members"?

Calm Down People

We have noticed an inordinate amount of postings on our beloved grip forum inquiring about Joe Kinney's training methods and the "secret weapon" etc lately. We  wonder about these dubious posts and their origins.  The GB has it's share of brutally strong lads who have excelled on the platform where it counts. Seek out their advice and pay attention.

If you are contemplating the purchase of a DVD we recommend The Iron Grip Pinch Training DVD. This is the definitive grip DVD. A classic.

Tuesday - 11/17

5AM

Grip Training

Right - Plate Pinching. Shoulder steadily getting better.
Left - Credit Card Set work with #3. Groove slowly taking shape.
Go Really Grip one hand holds. Since a majority of the credit card movement is easy, this or similar movements are necessary.

Hit many dips/chins/jumpstretch good mornings before grip.

Sunday - November 8

Too fucking busy to post lately.

No workouts missed. Good to see the "yungins" discussing the "retired" NFL strength coach and exploring the meaning of "Word is Bond".

Started to key on credit card closes. With 7.375 inch hands it's a struggle to find "the spot". When opening to get the card in the thumb sided handle slips, and I run out of finger in the last 1/8-3/16. Need to set well back into thumb pad.

Right - Started strap holds today with #3. Strap is about 3/16". Credit Card position close, but no credit card insert. Solid bite into strap. Used 10 pounds for 6 singles.

Left - Plate pinching. Front delt is hit or miss. Need to warm up thoroughly.
