NOTES: Despite the cold rain, I felt pretty good in the gym today. I started out with 10 minutes on the elliptical machine to get the blood flowing, and got after it. I decided to test a new method in my gripper workout. I felt the same old, same old was...well, getting old. My hands felt stale. I got my hands warmed up with the Filed HG150, and hit the CoC#2 for max reps. To be totally honest...I never did my #2 for max reps. 21 MMS reps on the RH...NICE. I was pumped! 12 MMS reps on the LH...needs some work. At any rate, my hands feel great. Smoked, but great. I think the added volume was really what my hands were looking for. I'll keep on a similar gripper workout for a little while before I change it up again. The one arm wrist curls on the Olympic bar were amazing! TRY THEM! They hit everything. It took damn near all I had just to keep the bar from flailing all over. I'm going to do these more. I got soaked to the bone walking home from the gym. It's coming down like mad out there. Time for a shower and some din-din.
