Monday
If anything absolutely
proves the training maxims of 1) carryover and 2) maintenance of a
skill set it's been today's TWO gripper workouts. Again I'm fairly sure
it's been MONTHS since I used a gripper in anger as it were. Yet in the
second session, following lunch, a nap and another coffee and using
normal grippers I powered to doing reps with my right hand on a Ironmind
Captain of Crush Gripper No 3 (and a few closes and near closes with my
left).
Now obviously training for hand strength in what ones
hopes is a well rounded way SHOULD produce something like this. But it's
still a pleasant surprise to see it proved. I managed 4 reps on one set
and even did a credit card close or two just to see what the crack was.
Also lets add a third maxim - that of the hands strength (once trained)
being among the last to ease off among the older athletes - 51 and
still BOOM!
