530AM
Reverse Hypers, radio and coffee. It was over 40, to nice not to hit the garage.
Grip training
Waste of time. 45 Plates and Blob50, felt "too" cold. Fooled with Armory Forearm Blaster
and #4 Tug. It was good to rediscover the Armory.

Scored a free, old York Olympic set yesterday. The old fashioned York Plate holder was included. Now I need to find the energy to carry all the shit into the cellar.
Also grabbed a heavy duty adjustable bench. I'm thinking of setting up an auxiliary gym in the
garage for the spring/summer/fall.

530AM
Could not get awake.
Romanian Deadlifts w/ trap bar - 3x20
Standing Preses
Grip Training
Piddled.Tough enough time trying to "grasp" reality today.
What is it with the lack of interest with the British Championships? We are not surprised
about our "savage" friend backing out. Videos can be edited, springs can be swapped, wrist curl plates can be switched, but the platform is the leveler. ;) The rest of you have no excuses.
When I started grip, the photos of the British Championships were the first that I found.
It's sad to see it potentially go down the shitter.
We almost went a week without mention of the "fat man" blob on the GB. ;)

ANOTHER LEGACY BLOB WARNING
We see that some are still peddling York "LEGACY" Blobs as RARE on EBAY.
Avoid the temptation to buy into this crap. You are better off getting a hex dumbbell
and cutting it if you cannot find a real old, classic York blob.
Look into the PDA Blobette also. When you get to handling 50 pounds on a
blobette, real blobs will be running away in fear of you. ;)
Smarten up people.

Close Grip Bench w/ Apollons - 6x12

Light grip to get blood moving. Sore.
Kicked Blob50 over to test hand span across face. With thumb knuckle in proper position,
only fleshy part of finger tips extend past face. This will never happen.

One of those days where you just can't squeeze hard enough.
We have been scouring the internet looking for the applications one would use
to apply for "GrandMaster" strongman status. No luck thus far. ;)

Musings:
Why get a clean video of you picking up the Inch Dumbbell with exaggerated tilt, when
you have done it "bunches" of times with no tilt, when the camera was not running?
Then when asked to do it in front of witnesses, you deny, because now you want
to tilt it for reps.
The British Championships should sort all this out.
Time to hit the Y.
