Jan 29 Grip training/torture - Challenge complete

in #fitness7 years ago (edited)

Grip training is the only time I push my limits for the most part. Everything else I do is more of an easy strength approach but I tend to push the envelope when I get the urge to train my hands. It's the only time I can push the envelope and not tax the CNS too much to train again the following day.

My Boading balls, worth their weight in gold.
I use them between sets of every exercise I do. They are the perfect compliment to any hard training and they release all the tension in the joints between each set.
It's a yin/yang - hard/soft approach that benefits me enormously. I never finish a training session sore.

Man, that's pretty hardcore. You should collect all of this in an ebook and sell it for some extra cash like that dude who wrote Convict Conditioning.

I have been working on a book for a few years but I've never got my act together and actually published it.

Now I'm here it could be a viable prospect to launch it on one of the blockchain platforms.

Thanks for reminding me!

I've blown my SP again today, so I can't upvote you. I'll send you some steem instead.
