Worlds Strongest Hands 2011- prep for the final leg

by adam on September 29, 2011

Today

Vulcan with 20 mm block, whole mess of reps at level 9, 12, 13.
Pinch at 58 mm, 77 reps with 175 in 11:45. Absolute best volume/density in the two hand pinch ever.
Stub lift, went all the way to 52 lbs.
Hub lift, stuck out 30 reps at 45 lbs. I hate the hub lift.

Afterwards a lot of (like over 120 reps) of lifts with both my 172 Thomas Inch replica and this 142 lbs shotloaded replica. I found out I can now stick the hand to hand toss. I believe I will be able to do the toss with the full sized replica very soon.

Also I was red lighted for my Mash Monster 4 attempt. Bad camera angle on my part

I will attempt this gripper again the week after the final Worlds Strongest Hands 2011 Series leg (NEXT WEEKEND!) My second and third attempt were clear misses of 1 mm. I feel with two days rest and no high volume fat bar work the day before I will easily complete the cert. I do believe I will need 60-75 days before I will be ready for the Mash Monster 5, which is a fairly large jump up in difficulty.

How the hell are you progressing so fast on grippers? And why aren’t you closing higher levels on the Vulcan? On WSH leg 3 you got a level 17 on the Vulcan. I wouldn’t think that would translate to a MM4 close.
