I've planned adding Wrist roller, towel pullups and extensor stuff, too.
Plate curls/pinches are worth trying I gues and the only thing I'm buying in the next time will be some Fat Grips/Grip4orce.

Apart from deadlifting, I need to do some work for BJJ, and my wrist are ridcoulusly small.
Haha. Massive forearms are a real goal of mine. Decided I am buying the materials for, and making my own wrist roller tomorrow.

Get back to moo thai, fatty.
Maybe one day.... my old coach started a new gym but there aren't any weights...can't afford two memberships. Sadly don't see it happening any time soon....

Yesterday my morning bodyweight (post-piss) was 88.5. I think the soccer, combined with lifting, combined with the heat (its been really hot and humid here) are taking their toll. I want that number going up not down.

Another thing is that eating healthy, I feel more satiated, so despite filling myself, I am consuming less calories. Last night I said fuck it and had a meat pie, two bags of chips and two beers at midnight. Lol.

Instead of doing that I am going to modify my diet, and have a protein shake every day, not just training days. I am having one now. I threw together random things from the fridge, the usual is:

500-700ml milk.
Banana
2 scoops whey
honey
yogurt (greek)
-mixed berries if I have them-


Today I also threw in:
mango
spinach
blueberries

Fuck it tastes good. I recommend that recipe to anyone.


So my usual diet is:

1. Pasta + Chicken/Tuna (alternating) + mixed salad (spinach/carrot/tomato/capsicum etc) x 4-5 servings throughout the day.

2. Another meal of dinner roughly every second day, usually red meat with vegetables, sometimes rice.

3. Protein shake

4. cheese, glasses of milk or almonds for snacks

5. eggs and bacon for breakfast on the weekend

I've been meaning to do this for ages. I remember Tosa saying "Every time I get some equipment, I wonder why I left it for so long to get it". I am betting this will apply to proper grippers.

Might get them sent to my parents house and pick them up on my next trip to the UK.

Rest day. But my gripper arrived. I don't want to fuck myself so I am introducing grip work slowly into my routine. Just 2 sets today.


CoC Trainer

- Warm-ups with partials (the first 20% doesn't have much tension)

- 2 sets of 8 (per hand).

- Static hold x 2 (left only)

My right closes the gripper quite easily - though I was fatiguing during the last reps. My left struggles to close the last 10%. It's also more difficult to hold it steady. Both of these are apparently common when the pinky and ring finger are weak. They help to "finalise" the movement.

So I finished by closing the gripper with both hands and then holding it closed for a while and then releasing it slowly.


I definitely learnt that my left hand is weaker.

Now that I have my equipment I need a training program! I have a wrist roller, a CoC trainer (and I'll be ordering more as the need arises!), and plates to pinch. Anyone have any thoughts?
 
this log title makes me chuckle. goodluck in your lifting endeavors !
