Week 3 Day 3

Blob W/ Left - Todays workout took a little extra time because it is getting tough. My hands feel sooo swollen right now, they just ache. My holds on the negative went really well tonight but the thumb work is really getting tough. The negative thumb felt like it was going to pull my thumb off. And the reps got so touh that i had to re-start a couple of sets because i just could not get it shut all the way down.

Grippers w/ Right - Feels great compared to my left. LOL, i just can't believe it seems easy compared to the blob workout. I really need to cut down the #200 so it is harder, maybe this weekend.

I tried sleeping with winter gloves on. I only made it until 1 AM but i tried. I read somewhere that by keeping the hands warm, they recover faster. I don't know if it really worked, and i do not know if i will ever be able to tell. But i'll try it again tonight

I did not do contrast baths tonight but i seemed to warm up pretty quick. No difference before the workout. And the soreness i have now could be from the actual workout. I'll do the contrast tomorrow and see how sore my hands feel when typing this in 24 hours from now.

    I get sore just thinking of all of the blob work for that blob kta. I purchased it to when Bill put it on sale. Quite a pain commitment by the looks of it. Nothing makes my hands as sore as heavy & wide pinching, and the volume involved ouch!

    I wonder if it'll get better. I noticed as I transitioned into phase 2 with the gripper KTA my hands were recovering a lot quicker.

    Interesting blog Mike.

    It is ALOT of work for the Blob KTA but it's such a short period of time. If you have 4 weeks to throw away, go for it. It seems like it's working. I'll know better when i'm done

    your hands do get used to the gripper KTA. You have made it through the hardest part. Know it's just the time invloved that the hardest part. but it is all worth it in th end.
