Bent A Bottle Cap, For Fun

I have been packing all day. It sucked. Fortunately we decided to take a break and head to the gym for a while. I figured I would just hit it light and keep away from the back as t should get plenty of working out. Right away I hit a PR and a goal from a while ago. I achieved four perfect pull ups and one more that I think would pass most judges. Five consecutive pull ups. I have been working on that for a while. They were overhand and had a full stop at the bottom with the elbows locked out.
Went on to to do a bit more, then hit grip.

Plate pinch
70lb 15, 10, 0
I don’t know why but these were hard. I feel like this is the one area I have failed in this program. I need to figure out how to improve.

Finger curls
115 3X15

Reverse wrist curls
22 3X20

Wrist curls
45 3X20

the wrists were a little sore before I went in. I think the curls actually made them feel better

wrist roller
10 lb 2X each way.

I did these with my forearms resting on a squat bar for stability. I liked the variation.

While at dinner I grabbed a Stewart soda bottle cap. I managed to squeeze it shut with my right hand. I think it took a whole minute to close it. So I guess that is a far cry from competing for max closed in a minute. Still it was my first and not my last.

I don’t know how much I will be able to blog over the course of the next week. I will doing the actual move. I will post when I can.

Not Getting It Done

I was supposed to grip yesterday. It didn’t happen. I got caught up trying to help someone else with their program. The guy was using something off bobdybuilding.com. It was ugly. He was motivated and I hate to see perfectly good motivation go to waste. So I pretty much ditched my workout and chatted with him on that. Then today I took in a new plan to him and spent an hour explaining it.
Tomorrow I will lift and grip.

that is all

Congrats to the BBB guys and to Scott.

now, that is all
