It's hard to beleive 2 weeks has passed but I took a break due to muscle soreness in my hands. A true indicator that I really need to get back into the swing of things!

Hope to follow up tomorrow.

I've scrapped the use of the HG100 with the thumbscrews for now and chose to use the trusted Vulcan with bands to microload and measure progress more effectively aiming for metal to metal closures in every rep.

The blue band is currently set at the 1st divot and will be moved to the 2nd in the next pinch session since metal to metal was achieved in every rep today. The red band will remain a fixture in the same divot position until the blue meets it.


Thumbscrew Vulcan - Blue Band - Divot 1:
5 x 7 - All closed.

It's been a while.

Rehab progress has been too awesome to mess it up by un-necessary straining so haven't worked the grip in a while. Kept this session brief too.

Some strength loss there but I'm not particularly bothered. The fort will be rebuilt and I look forward to doing it. ::smile::

Not the best of sessions but I don't regard that as major strength loss just yet since the sets and reps were tight together without setting the gripper between reps.

Current goal is to close the #3 again.

"Close Strength" is down evident by my poor ability with the torsion spring grippers whislt Vulcan work is pleasingly good.

I've got my mind set on an Orbigrip which I'll probably invest in soon for home based forearm work.

Thickbar training is coming back into play soon too!
