Awesome man- I am glad to hear it!
For everyone else- this is my friend from Wisconsin. He's been training for strongman a few years now- but is very well known for his grip strength.
He is 1 of 31 people in the last 5 years to certify on the #3 Captains of Crush Gripper(COC), and has even closed a 3.5 (only 7 people have ever certified on a #3.5 or a #4 in the world).
Glad you decided to post a journal here!

Also wanted to thank you for that thread- I wanted to make sure my buddy saw it before I commented on it- so I told him to take a look at it so he'd see it.... That is some crazy good info... haha I do see why your journal on MD is named that. you know your stuff!!! PS- The Certification list is found here, with his name in 2008, where he certified at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Main/captainsofcrush3.html

Don't beat yourself up over it... I know there is a combo of things that contributed to it- but you know you are stronger than that- you've hit it before. Don't sweat it... Rest up your leg and you'll be back to your same form.

good one today
squats - im just feeling the squats out. I widened my stance and judging by today need to get my hip strength up alot. ridiculous warm up and the work was 315x2x10
smith squat - hoping it will feel like the semi-trailer squat coming up in MN up to 315x3x3
seated calf raises 2x12
clock reach and touch x5 These are cool. Use an Xerdisc. stand one-footed and do a calf raise. hold it at the top and touch the ground with your other foot. Touch the numbers on a clock. So stand on xerdisc with left leg you use your right to touch 12,1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1,12 and opposite for the other leg. tough on the ankles and stability
multi-hip stackx2x12 each leg.
Felt pretty good. calf only tightened up some after I cooled down. I dont seem to evert my ankles when I squat with a wide stance and no pain in the calf.

1/2 hour swimming/stretching. Swimming and stretching 4 times a week the last 3 weeks is probably the single best thing im doing for my overall health right now. I need to build off of it.

Way to get some work in again... I bet it is, how far have you been swimming? just til you get tired, not worried about distance?
