NEXT CHALLENGE-
Farmers Walk w/100 lbs dumbbells or 48kg kettlebells * TIME Spent holding bells and walking, not distance.
Hang from pull up bar
No set close with COC Trainer or Vulcan Level 3
One hand pinch off floor, number of reps with sandwiched 25′s in 60 seconds (can switch hands at will)
My new favorite cardio – lift 172 lbs as many times as possible, as fast as possible.
Back bridge- now I can flip over from a headstand and walk out. I can’t figure out how to get over the other way yet. I spent almost 7 minutes total upside down tonight, tons and tons of bridging.
Do not try at home, you will surely break your spine.
Chasing world class status boys and girls. I will pull 450 on the axle before the end of Feb. Two hand pinch strength is returning. I believe I will have my best shot yet at 245+ pinch with Paul Knights super deluxe pinch set up.
Goals for Metroplex 4 at the end of the month- low end 170 gripper, 220 pinch, 415 axle. High end 185 gripper, 240 pinch, 440 axle. My objective to open at 160/215/405 and take 5 lbs jumps for the grippers, 10 lbs jumps for pinch and axle.
The bridging progressions are coming nicely. The next part of my project is being able to cross the entire zebra mat forwards, then backwards. If walking upside down is hard enough, doing it feet forwards (backwards to me) is reaaaally hard.
For what it’s worth, both of these lifts would be world records if done in competition. During the 2011 WSH series I set a WR in the penny lift, and took top placings with my stub lift. I believe in 2012 I will set a new WR which will be very difficult to exceed. I do not know why I am so good at the key grip pinches, they have come very naturally to me.
Numbers will stand for comparison and for future contest collection data. Consider everything unofficial other than individual PRs.
Please add your numbers add a comment and I will post them here. If you have filmed any lifts put up a YT link in the comment and I will link it here as well.
