Today’s Workout - January 10, 2008

I'll have to admit that I've gotten pretty addicted to improving my grip lately. Why? Good question. So that I can hold the mouse longer? Type harder? I don't know. Regardless, I've enjoyed lighting my forearms on fire, and today I got some new tools from IronMind.com that I have fallen instantly in love with. I just finished my workout with these new tools and I can hardly type! Here's what I did:

5 sets of 3 per side one-handed deadlifts. Using one of these tied to a loading pin with 105 pounds loaded:

1246-f

It's made by IronMind.com , it's a rotating two-inch handle, and it blasts the forearms!

Next I did 3-30 sec. holds per side (with 30 sec rest between), using one of these tied to a loading pin with 25 pounds loaded:

1248F

I know, I can hear you saying it now, "25 pounds? What a weak grip!" Try it.

You can get these little jewels here and I'm not saying this to line my pockets with cash. I don't make any money off you buying IronMind equipment. It's just good equipment, I had a fun time using it, and you will too!

Now, for the rest of the workout:

3 sets of 5 - Deadlift - 300 lbs.

between deadlift sets I was hanging from Eagle Loops from IronMind stratpped to a pull-up bar to help extend my spine and to build up hanging strength in my forearms.

1 deadlift 325 lbs.

1 deadlift 345 lbs. (personal record) (All the weight I own on the bar)

Up-dog and down-dog yoga positions for 5 minutes.

That's it!
