This comp exceeded my expectations. It ran smoothly; all 10 events took about 6 hours. That was 4 people in the Advanced Class, about 7 in Open Class, and about 5 in Women's Class. Thanks to a few good tips, I was well-prepared with food and some other things that came in handy. It was very comfortable to be there.
The Movement is like the gym of gyms. Simple, full of iron, everything you need and nothing you don't, cool. Great contest setting. There were two sleepy bulldogs watching the show. For a while I thought it was one really active bulldog until I saw them together.
Right when I arrived Adam gave me the option to compete in the Advanced Class. I hadn't technically qualified because I didn't have the required 275 axle lift. I considered the offer briefly, and then took it. So the Advanced Class was Adam Glass, Chris Mathison, Ryan Pitts, and me. Chris I knew; he's been up to my house once before and he's MM2 at the GripBoard. Ryan I had not met, but he owns Stronger Grip which is cool. All these guys were encouraging and supportive through the whole comp. Often all them giving tips on form or recommendations for openers, etc. Ryan and I were extremely well-matched and while we didn't challenge Adam and Chris very often, we certainly challenged each other at every event. After 9 events, Ryan and I were only separated by about 5 points. Some of the numbers put up by Adam and Chris were staggering.
I weighed in at 161. I don't know what Ryan was at, but he looked to have 20 or so on me. Adam and Chris are biiiig dudes.
The Open Class and the Women's Class were well attended. Lots of folks who don't necessarily train grip, but maybe rock climb, or work out at The Movement. They were all very willing to try our "crazy" sport. The whole day had a contagious attitude of "Yeah, I'll try that!" I was so impressed with the women who attended. V-bar, rim lift, coin lift, everything, they did it all. Even in the medley they methodically attempted each and every item. Awesome.
Overall it was a great time. I'll make another post about the results. I'm kicking myself because I forgot to take a picture of the leader board before I left. Hopefully the numbers will get posted somewhere. Thanks to Adam and The Movement for hosting. Great contest.

Run 3.2mi
Run 3.2 miles
27:40
>>> My goal was to simply run the 5K distance. The first two miles felt great! For the first time my lungs conditioning was not the problem. My legs felt like they weighed 1000lbs. No oomph. So on the last mile I did quite a bit of walking. I was wiped out when I finally got back home and sat down.
A good start though for my first time running this distance.
I've been seeing a lot of deer. Like from just feet away. The trail is only about 6ft wide and they stand right at the edge and don't move. I'm just waiting to get attacked by one. I've got this all planned out--hopefully I'll be able to land a devastating uppercut before they chop me all up with their hooves. And, hopefully, another jogger will be there to get it all on their iPhone.

RUN!
Run 2 miles.
>>> I killed my goal for this run. Last time it took me 16:20 to run two miles and that was with some walking between the two miles.
This time I ran the whole way and finished in 15:33! I am really happy with that. It was certainly difficult for me--because of lungs conditioning and not so much legs. In fact after I finished and walked a little I did feel like I could run more.
So next time I think I will add the third mile. I've already mapped the trail by my house with http://www.mapmyrun.com/. There is a perfect turnaround that is about 1.6 miles out. So there and back would be just longer than a 5k. I'll simply try and set a pace for that distance.
I think my goal is within reach--run a 5k in under 25mins. With just a little more conditioning, I don't think three eight minute miles is a stretch.

EPIC gripper workout!
Test closes for contest prep:
140# BBSM x1
153# 3 x1, x1
155# BBGM x1
Coin lift attempts:20# x1, x1
25# x1, x1
30# x0, x1, x0
Vulcan
RH: L9x12, L5x12
LH: L9x5, L5x8
>>> I put up a video of the contest prep attempts. I feel great about my current level of strength.
The coin lift I rigged up by putting a strap through a short loading pin and using vice grip pliars to pinch the strap to the coin. The lift I got on 30# I think I tilted the coin a little which I know won't be possible on the GripTopz--or allowed for that matter. Fun lift actually.
Vulcan workout is WAY up from the last one.
I'm pumped for this contest.

2 miles
Ran two miles.
>>> I really pushed it on the first mile out into a dead-on head wind. Finished the mile with a sprint in the time of 7:30. I'd like to think the wind had a bit of an affect. It really sapped my energy. Walked for 1 min to catch my breath. Then ran back at a lighter pace, but still finished with a sprint for a total time of 16:20 (not including the 1 min walk). So I guess the second mile was in 8:50.
My goal next run is to beat that time with no walking and try to even out the two miles. Maybe try to hit 8:00 and 8:00.

RUN
>>> Went for a roughly 30 min run. Finally running in running shoes and it feels great. (duh)
Pace was a lot faster. I went out to my usual checkpoint, got there very quickly, walked a little and then ran back.
Lungs were the limiting factor. I think my legs could have gone twice as far.

DECATHLON PLANNING
This will be my first contest and I can't tell you how excited I am! I will have to compete in the OPEN class because I don't have all the door openers for the ADVANCED class (missing a 275# Axle Dead requirement).
Here are my thoughts on the events:
1. Two Hand Pinch on the adjustable European pinch apparatus. 3 attempts for lift to 16″ standard.
>>> My PR is 160#, so I am hoping for a PR. I hit 160# using 2x35s which were too wide, about 57mm. So I am hoping to get a PR on a seasoned set up at the correct width. I'll open at 155. Depending on how that feels, I'll go 160 or 165 next, and then re-attempt or go for broke on the third. Prediction is 165#.
2. Grippers from Parallel Set Position. Grippers will be done with calibrated torsion spring grippers. Athletes will have three attempts.
>>> I will open on something in the high 140s, then go for low 150s and finally mid 150s if possible. Prediction is 155# if there is a gripper that fits the bill.
3. Overhand Axle Dead lift, 2″ thick smooth non-revolving barbell from Submit Strength Equipment. Lift will be from floor to standing “lock out” position. 3 Attempts.
>>> Not a good lift for me. I will play this safe and try not to hurt my back. I'll open at 180 to make sure I get a good lift. If that feels good, I'll jump to 200 (which I've hit in training) and then pick the third weight based on feel. I don't even know enough about myself and this lift to plan very well. Prediction is 200#.
4. 2″ Vertical Bar Lift, 2″ lift off the floor with the FBBC 2″ diameter vertical bar. Score will be total left + right hand. 3 attempts.
>>> Decent lift for me. I've lifted 221 on my pretty slick set up. Right hand I'll open at 215, then go 225, and if the bar is feeling grippy, I'll go for a PR. LH is weaker and I'll probably go 190, 200, 210. Prediction for L+R total is 425#.
5. Middle Finger Lift, 2″ lift off floor with FBBC “Double Bastard” loading pin. Total will be left hand+right hand, 3 attempts.
>>> No idea. My only goal is to not hurt my finger and record a good lift right and left. I have not trained this lift. No prediction.
6. One hand Dead lift, Stronger Grip Plateau Buster. Overhand grip for 2″ lift, 3 attempts strong hand.
>>> Also no idea on this one. I found a picture of the device and the handle seems to be standard OLY thickness. I also found a picture of Adam Glass pulling 527# which shocked me. I am going to have to wing this one, maybe I'll have a chance to play with it in advance. If I have to totally guess, I'll open at 300 and hope for the best. Prediction 300#.
7. Coin pinch Lift, lift will be done with the World of Grip Griptopz Penny lift. 3 attempts for maximum weight lifted off the floor to lock out.
>>> I'm going to rig up a coin so I can try this. Maybe that will give me a better idea. Glass seems to lift over 40. Total WAG prediction is 25#.
8. Repetition Two Hand Pinch with a pair of 45 lbs plate. Contestants will have 60 seconds to complete as many full lifts as possible with a pair of standard sized 45 lbs plates sandwiched together.
>>> All I know about this one is that I'll be worthless when it's over. Repetition pinch stuff wipes me out. I'm not good with this kind of stuff. But if I have a change to just best someone else in the OPEN class by one rep, I would stop there. Prediction is 10-ish reps.
9. Rim Lift: Event will be done with the World of Grip Griptopz Rim. 3 attempts for maximum weight lifted off the floor to lock out.
>>> Another lift I've never done and won't train prior to the contest. Like the middle finder lift, my primary goal is to log a good lift, and then I'll go from there and try not to rip anything. Prediction is 100# but I have no idea.
10. Medley: 30 Items to be lifted, broke, bent, tore, and loaded. Most items completed in 5 minutes.
>>> It will be interesting to survey the medley items, but I'm not terribly good at lifting, breaking, bending, tearing, or loading. Goal is 7 items. Prediction is 5 because I'm sure I'll be COOKED from the first 10 events.
Overall, I really hope to have a good chance at placing in the OPEN class.

2HP @ 49mm
115 x3
135 x1, x1
145 x1, x1, x0, x1
115 x5
TTK @ 15#
2 sets of burnouts
>>> After getting some golden guidance from Chris Rice, and reviewing my notes from the last workout, I decided to go slightly wider from 46mm to 49mm. This meant I had to finally cut a rubber disk from my thicker rubber. Which I had been dreading, but I followed the tips given to me by the place that sells the used conveyor belt, and it was actually a breeze.
The miss on 145 was due to experimenting. Also, due to experimenting, I got a nasty tear on my left thumb only. Overall I got some good notes and might get in one more workout before Adam's decathlon on May 14.

LH, L9x5, L5x6
After axle deads, Filed HG200, RHx25, LHx21
Axle Sumo Deadlift
90 x2, x2
160 x5 singles
>>> Better workout. Axle is something that I have never done much, but would like to get stronger on that lift, especially because I don't squat these days. The weight felt light, but I wanted to just work on form before I go for much weight.

>>> Good P90 workout. Lots of push ups and endurance for these is getting better. I typoed "AB RIPPLER" but I kind of like that. Overall I can do the ab ripper workout better and better each time. Core is getting stronger and tighter. Body fat is getting lower too. Now where's the sun...?
2HP I wanted to just get my hands on the thing. Plates are real slick. The TTK burnouts are something I got from David Horne. It's 10 slow full-range reps, then 10 fast short reps, then 10 full range again, then 10 fast ones again. That is 1 set. BURNS like a...something...how bout fire. Burns like fire.

Plan your work...
...and then shit-can the plan. RIGHT!?
So the thing I forgot about was that I had a plan. The thing about a plan is that it's only useful if you see it through. The plan became like that Reach flossing thing the dentist gave me; I don't use it so it doesn't help me.
So first on the list is to negate the random changes I made on 4/19. Those were not in the plan and I only made those changes due to my crap-workout-induced state of GONZO. (According to my good friend, GONZO is what happens when that little crazy voice has you acting against better judgment.)
Starting tonight, grippers will be back on the plan that was planned and written down. No reason to reinvent the wheel here. And I'm going to go find that floss thing before I forget.

Grippers
warm up
BBSM x1, BBGM x1
Vulcan L10 x3
Grip Machine
160 x10, x10, x10, x10
So whenever I have a string of bad workouts like this, it has me rethinking what I'm doing. If I was forced to identify my biggest beef with my training, it's that nothing is predictable. I never know if I'm going to be able to close a #3, or miss by 1/4". I just want it to BE THERE.
I need to figure out what direction I want to head.

My Left Foot
No, not that movie. My actual left foot. I've had a whole host of problems stemming from a 2008 back injury which left half my foot mostly numb, and keeps my big toe from working correctly. As a result, the condition of my big toe has been rapidly degrading ever since. Most recently, my left ankle has been sore for about 6 mos, presumably related to all these other problems.
HOWEVER, I realized this morning, for the first time in a while, my ankle feels GREAT. My knees also feel good after yesterday's leg workout, which is promising as well. I think running is helping my joints to wake up and realize there is work to do.

Ab Ripper
>>> Holy balls. The first set of chin ups, I just ripped off 16 reps like it was nothing! The most chins I've ever done in one set was 16 about 6 years ago and it was a huge struggle and honestly the last couple of reps were probably cheats. This time, I stopped at 16--for no other reason except this was the first set and I knew what was still coming in the workout. Felt awesome!
Overall I did MANY more total pull ups than ever before on this workout.
Feeling good these days!

Minnesota weather is stupid. Yesterday it snowed, sleeted, rained, sunshined, rained, then hailed.

GRIP!

Switched to a 1.25" block.
RH L7x7, LH L7x4
RH #1x10, LH #1x12
GRIP MACHINE
160 x10, x10, x10
Full open and closes with two hands.
>>> Made two big changes here for a while. Switched to a 1.25" block to start getting used to a wider ROM. Also, upped volume on the plate loader. My plan is to get three sets of 10 after my regular workout at all costs. The third set of 10 was I-N-S-A-N-E.
I felt like my forearms were going to explode so I took a picture. I think they are getting close to being twice the size of my wrist, at least when pumped.
Also I had a chance to weigh myself today (we don't have a scale at home). 166 and that was with shoes, jeans, sweater, and immediately after lunch. So I'm probably still around 160 actual bodyweight.

Ran 10 mins out, walked 5, ran 10 minutes back, walked 5.
>>> Much better than my previous run. Made it a lot farther and consolidated the running with fewer walking breaks.
Does anyone Geocache? This seems like a cool hobby.

Grip aka crap
Some choker attempts at #3.5, some Vulcan L10 and L4, another crapfest.
I think I just need a couple more days rest. 2" v-bar might trash my hands more than I think.

Weights or reps were up on almost every exercise. Also killed ab ripper in a way I have not before.
Tomorrow should be a grip workout and running. I'll do my best not to sabatage the grip workout (again) but can't promise anything if my 2HP plates arrive.

Weights or reps were up on almost every exercise. Also killed ab ripper in a way I have not before.

Walk/Run
Cardio
20mins walk/run outside. Probably 15 minutes total running, including the last 10 minutes solid with a 'sprint for the finish' at the end.
So, I've signed up for a 5k in May, and I figured I better do at least a little running beforehand. I need to be able to keep up with my wife!
