Building, building, building.....
After some distractions that forced me away from my training, I am so pleased to be back to the gym and focusing on rebuilding and attempting to shatter some very specific grip goals at the Odd Haugen Strength Classic at the LA FitExpo in late January 2016. I am eager to rebuild and continue moving forward with competing, being a business owner and enjoying the off season for my minions while they get back into the gym, work with their coaches and make every training day count.

The rules here are when I close a gripper, I move up to the next higher one. If I miss on a higher one, I drop down. I can miss on heavier grippers twice and finish with lighter singles.
This week had some regression from last. Waahh. That is part of the gripper game I know too well.

124 lbs x 2, MISS. Knew I needed more recovery time and decided to change my stance up, back to feet parallel to one another.
At this point I licked my palm. I'm happy to report that it worked very well.

Piggie owning the halls. She came along with me to the last day of school before break. She preferred to take her time and was the last one out.
