It is Tuesday morning and i just finished my AM gripper workout. I think the corn husher lotion is really helping my skin from taking a beating.
I did class last night with Brian, he started the Tactical Strength Challange

It is Tuesday morning and i just finished the AM workout for the KTA. My hands are holding up pretty good so far. I have been using corn husker lotion so between that and all the caluoses i have built up by doing kettlebells i think i'll be okay with the skin. muscles in my hand may be a different story. My left pinky is still partially numb. It has been that way for well over a month now, i need to go to an actual doctor because my chiropractor can not seem to fix it. Damn C6.
I did kettlebell calss last night with Brian, he started the Tactical Strength Challange. So now i need to rearrange my schedule with Bruce so i can go to the gym on Monday nights. Bruce's thumb is still sore so he called off tonight, it was just good timing.
My grip was still okay after class. I actually did the PM grip workout so that's good there is no problem there. And i think as long as i keep the bending to a minimum on weekends i can get this to work.
I am still concearned about the KTA working! I know i need to give it time, it has only been 1-1/2 weeks. I will not know until i finish the first 4 weeks if it is really doing anything. I just hate to have a hard time closing that # 3 on my leg or using 2 hands, and my pinky never really seems to get in the right position for some reason.

**** I am using this as my personal blog for now, not really something for people to follow. I just wanted a good way to keep track og my grip training.Over the weekend i started week 2 of the KTA program. (gripper training). WOW it it really starting to keep my hands fried. I have to use some atletic tape on my right hand fingers because of the blisters starting already, And i am having a hard time holding the HG200 shut with my left hand, so i did not cut the gripper when like i was supposed to. I did not make any progress from week 1 to week 2 on closing the #2 but it said that i may not make progress. I still think this much work load will not work but we will see.I did some bending on Sat & Sun, even though the KTA program said not to. I figured it was early enogh in the program to get away with it. On Sat i did some 1/4" steel Squares. (7", 6 1/2" & 6") No big deal, i did those sizes before but i wanted to get them on video this time. Then i tried the 6" x 5/16" bastard, Damn. I got the kink pretty easy and made it to 90 degrees but that was it. This batch it very tough, i tried to finish it braced between my legs just for the hell of it and i could not even do that easily. That pc will be a big accomplishment when i do get it.On Sunday i did some spikes. I did the easy 12" and then the dull, gray 10". It was supposed to be tough and it sis not disappoint. I barely kinked it on my knee. So i had to put it behind my legs to really kink it. Once i did that it was done pretty easily. The i also dod the 3/8" x 10" grade 2 bolt. That was about the same as a 10" easy spike. I also decided to do 2 more 1/4" squares i have not ever tried before. The 5-1/2" & tre 5". Killed them both! The crush on the 5" is the hardest crush for me to date. It was over 600 lbs. So i feel really good about that. I am getting somewhere.I wanted to work out this coming Friday with Dave Whitley SRKC & Will Williams SRKC at the Phily Art Museum but i am thinking my fingers may be too fried. We will see how the week progresses,
