Did the second leg of the Worlds Strongest Hands competition today.
I placed 32nd out of 46 competitors for this leg, I was slightly let down by my two hand pinch which was down on last time. Although everyone else at David Hornes seemed to pull less than usual so its possible that the damp weather played a part there.
Results:
Around January this year I decided to get my ass into gear and get myself in shape, around this time I also decided to get involved in grip competitions as I had just started bending steel and using grippers. Around this time Adam Glass had started posting about biofeedback, which I started incorporating into my workouts although I was a little fuzzy on the details.
So back then I weighed about 165lbs, had 22″ thighs and a 35″ waist. In my first grip competition in January I managed to pull 53.9kg on the two hand pinch and I was struggling with level 1 on the Vulcan gripper. My max deadlift was around 115kg, I could do about 8 pushups max and about 4 pullups. I most definitely was out of shape!!
So I spent several months using biofeedback which my knowledge on improved after watching Grip ‘n Rip DVD and about two months ago I decided to take up Adam’s online coaching.
So, its about 8 months now since I started this journey, so where am I at now? Well I have dropped down to about 145lbs, 31″ waist and 20″ thighs and I am pretty damn lean! In my last competition I pulled 67.1kg on the two hand pinch, which was more than my bodyweight, which puts me on a list of about 12 other people in the world that have achieved such a feat and I will pull more at the next leg in a weeks time! Aside from my two hand pinch all my other lifts are dramatically up, I can do over 20 consecutive pushups, over 10 pullups, my deadlift is over 140kg now and I am closing the Vulcan gripper at level 8.
So I can tell you this, biofeedback has DEFINITELY helped me to get where I am today, in reality my gym sessions are actually pretty short, as you can see in my logs, but biofeedback helps you ensure that what you do each day is the best possible thing to be doing. The content on the Grip ‘n’ Rip DVD is enough for anyone to get GREAT results, but if you a greedy person and you want to get AWESOME results then Adam’s online coaching is definitely the next step.
So whats so good about online coaching with Adam Glass? Well if you want to get stronger, faster, leaner or bigger then he can help you. Adam will answer your emails promptly with any questions you ask and I have spent at least one hour a week on the phone to him. He has helped me immensely in improving my grip strength and given me plenty of ammo to move forward with training old time strongman feats of strength. Also he has provided plenty of videos showing me variations of exercise and how to perform specific movements, which have been a MASSIVE benefit to my training.
So the conclusion really is this, if you want to get better and you aren’t using biofeedback then definitely grab the Grip ‘n’ Rip DVD’s. If you want to take it further or you just want to dive straight in head first then get in touch with Adam Glass directly via facebook or via his website and take up his online/phone coaching!
