I was SMOKED after this workout. My hands and forearms are still fried today. I need as much work on that CoC #4 as I can get. I want to get somewhat comfortable trying to set that monster. Last night, the handles were closer than ever before under my power. I have no idea how close they were; but, they actually felt like they were moving a little bit. That's a victory for me. When I close that thing, I'll be as happy as a pig in shit.

I'm going to try a new workout routine. It's not novel. It's widely used - just never by me. I'm going to try an Upper/Lower split. After I get all the rotations sorted out I'll post some specifics.

Changes abound on Cinderblock Hands these days! Have you noticed my new sidebar? It's right over there. ===> Notice anything else? The frames are bigger - no more cut-off videos, baby! I'm a computer tard, so these seemingly little things are like grand achievements for me. Watch for new links in the very near future!
