Escapades of a nitwit

magicman531 · 10-17-2009, 06:01 PM

weight: 209 today
height: 5'10ish

terminology:

OA - one arm
P - press
PP - push press
C - clean

format: weight x reps x sets (is that standard?)

currently switching to a more body part oriented routine, still implementing oly lifts and my other favorites

workout from a day or two ago

one arm lifts are done equally with each limb unless otherwise stated

OA C - 77x6, 97x6, 112x4, 122x4, 132x2x2
hanging knee raises
OA C 2.5'' handle - 75x4x2 (haven't done them this thick in awhile. i'll need to build up the skin on my thumb before going heavy, lest i rip off a chunk... again)
OA C 2'' handle - 95x4x2 (these feel surprisingly light having done the 132 earlier, grip isnt a problem)
Chin Ups - about 8 total...

I superset the chinups with shrugs for some reason. Not sure of the exact weight as I just threw some plates on. Probably 240ish for 3 sets of 15

Some Captains of Crush grippers both #1 and #2 closes. By this point in the workout my forearms are fairly well hammered.

Current goal is to rebuild not only hand strength, but hand toughness as well

just to change it up. i used to focus on doing a certain lift each day. now im doing a specific portion of the lift as long as it coincides with the right bodyparts

current routine looks like:
shoulders/triceps/chest
biceps/back/pulling
legs

grip feats and whatnot

unless you're referring to the skin toughness? in that case i need to build up some calluses in the right spot before going heavy on the thick handles. the strength is still there. im afraid of tearing skin off and missing workouts. thusly im progressing slowly at first

have you read the FAQ's by any chance?

It seems to me like you are doing a BBing type routine? 3 sets of 10?

i only do 10 or more reps on shrugs or squats

all other lifts i rarely go above 6 reps

however, i did recently come from high rep cardio/endurance oriented lifting. so for the past months (those that i actualyl lifted in) i was doing 8 or more reps (12+) with little rest between
