Grip fun!!

24 kgs MP 3x5 32kgs PP 2x1

CoC Gripper (Trainer) 3 x 5

Pinch grip wooden block 10kgs 3 x 20secs

Levering - Forward and back with sledgehammer 2 x 5
Turnovers with sledgehammer 2 x 5 - hand positioning very close to head to sledge

Bit of a mixed bag tonight. Again heart just didn't seem to be in it, strict MPs were ok but the PPs were ugly. Stopped after 2 because again really my head was in the wrong place. Maybe I'm trying too much, switching to program minimum format with 2 conditioning and 2 pressing session per week....after snatch night tomorrow night ;)

Now the grip work was a bit of a breath of fresh air. Really I'm only gauging a lot of the stuff here, I can already see that the CoC Trainer is too easy, Number 1 too hard (KB deja vu). I have one other addition to add to this little routine which is a container of sand to work extensors and crushing. Hopefully it will fatigue the hands so that I get a better workout with the trainer coc.

Pinch grip is with about a 3" wooden block which has a bolt through it with a chain on the end. Obviously then I loop the chain through the standard weights I have. The "turnovers" are with my arm parallel to the ground and I'm turning my wrist clockwise as far as it will go then back again anti-clockwise. I don't know the correct name for this movement.

I have pretty much decided that I want to try my hand at bending after I do the ROP (and not before!!) so I want to make sure I'm ready to get started, and of course this can't hurt with improving grip for snatches.
