I'd be interested in knowing which getbiggers could lift one of these with one hand. They are completely flat on the other side. 115lbs. Basile probably could, a few others could too I'm sure. I thought my fingers would break, unbelievably painful :D

We don't see many of the Eleikos, but we have Ivankos which are similar. I don't even like picking them up off the floor if they're lying flat ;D. My best pinch was 2 thin #35's, never had the desire to try further.

Maybe I'll start some of the other kinds of grip work. There are some guys into grip work at the gym and there are a whole bunch of different grip implements there. Rolling thunder, thick bars, attachments you grip with your finger tops, some round, some like bricks and so on. I never missed a deadlift because of grip; only time was when I did some 2 inch lockouts in the rack just to see where it failed. I think it was at about 930 :D But it doesn't translate into grippers. You happen to have access to an Eleiko 50kg metal plate? A few of us competed against each other on time lifting it with one hand. Hurt the fingers like a son of a bitch.
how much did you rolling thunder? I did at best 85 kg like 10+ years ago(naturally though so I think that's pretty good). But there was a big guy I met that did 98kg.. dudes hands where strong af. Felkt like a kid shaking his hands.

Now I havn't done specific grip stuff for a while. Just tried it and did 77 kgs. If I start some steroids I could probably do 90+ if training for it

I haven't tried loading the Rolling Thunder yet. I'm in a veey weakned state at the moment so will have to  recover my baselibe strength before the RT weight says something relevant. I always felt Anadrol in particular helped grip strength, I could almost feel my grip improving about 2-4 hours after a single dose, just by how it felt making a tight fist LOL. But Anadrol is probably over for me :'( :D

How's your natural lifestyle going, doing any HCG still? It would be interesting to see if the test boosting peptides raised your natural test 8)

One thing I did note is that MK-677 increased my grip strength.

Haven't used it in almost two years though.
