Training 11/27/2011

Did a bit of training yesterday morning. Was hoping for a bit more time to workout but that just didn't happen. Happy with the bench increase, but dissatisfied with the Squat and pinch. Had to stop mid workout to help with the tiny human then resumed approximately 1hr later.

Training 9-10-2011 at WSH grip comp

Got in a nice training session and some good messing around lifts while I was helping with judging at the World Strongest Hands Leg 2 Grip competition on Saturday. Very happy with a number of the PR's including the Vulcan 30mm block close on Lvl 18, 260# on the Saxon bar DL, 1H pinch on the Saxon bar PR, and especially the 170# pinch clean and press on the Saxon bar. That lift is especially tough and unwieldy. My long term goal is 180# on that lift to match what Arthur Saxon is said to have done on it, with him being the namesake I named the bar after. Getting ever so much closer.
