How Long Grip Training: Started on 2/14/03
Current Grip Training Program: After
a regular lifting session I’ll sometimes do some plate pinches, grippers,
levering or whatever else sounds fun.
Other Training Info: Currently
training for strongman contests. For
a while I was doing gym lifting on Wednesday and events on Sunday, but more
recently I’ve dropped most of the gm lifting and am doing a few events on
Sunday, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, some plyometrics or something on
Friday, and then start the whole mess over again.
I think this leaves me less sore throughout the week because I’m not
doing all the events at once and I can hit PR’s easier because I’m more
rested.
Acknowledgements: Thanks
to Shawn who jumped at the chance to be my witness again, despite working 12
hour days and not seeing his family a whole lot and to my wife who is
understanding enough to let us throw chalk around in the garage.
