RustyThis week I learnt two key facts about my training. The first is that I need a little more of a break between heavy deadlift sessions (and lighter ones never seem to work). Both between the pulls and the other exercises in that session, and between the workouts themselves. A week or so seems reasonable; at least more reasonable than the current 2 days.

The second is that my left hand seems to be catching up in crucial areas of grip strength. One of the areas in which this is most easily seen is in the one-armed bar hangs; which have been fairly straightforward with the right arm but nearly impossible with the left. Until this week, that is. Looks as though the one-armed chin-up quest is still on track.

Other than that it was a regular dose of the usual players - bodyweight, kettlebell and grip work. And a healthy dose of ’70s rock.

I’ve been working on my grip as well..mainly trying to bring my left hand up. I’ve mostly been doing CoC on the way to and from work. I can close the #1 with my right for about 5 times and about 3 with my left hand. I’d like to get that up to 10 with both hands…after that I’m going to get the 1.5 I believe.

Grip work (in fact anything for the hands and forearms) is great. I’ve become enamoured with the simple bar hang lately. Minimal equipment, no cost and you can do it almost anywhere. Just hang from a bar for a few minutes.

Didn’t realise there was a CoC 1.5. I’m keen to find out how things go with it. I’m not going to move up until I’m a little more comfortable (with both hands) on the #1.
