Product review: GRIP PRO TRAINER FOREARM EXERCISER TRAINING KIT

Today I received my 

GRIP PRO TRAINER FOREARM EXERCISER TRAINING KIT

 

I picked these up from Amazon.com ( my favorite place to shop). They were about $23 shipped which is a great price for all three These grip trainers are very comfortable  and the high resistance is nice. The 30lb seems to be a bit easier than spring grips, the 40 was a little harder than springs, and the 50 is pretty difficult (I can only squeeze it about 10 times).  This is a great product for getting a better grip for weight training and also build your forearms.

Chest workout 5×5

Today I did a 5×5 work out, its like the 10×10 but 5 sets of 5 reps and heavy! As always warm up, I use the machine chest press on 85lbs and just loosen up a bit. I did NOT do any abs because im a super sore. Tomorrow I will do crunches and planks (Wednesday is my off day. Sometimes ill jog).

Flat Bench

Legs and Abs…at home

Today both of my friends I usually go to the gym with didn’t go Soo.. I worked out at home. But just because I worked out at home doesn’t mean I didn’t get a great workout. I have a set of dumbbells with 4 10lb plates, 4 5lb plates, and 4 2 1/2lb plates.

Thats all you will need for this workout, you and your dumbbells!

Big back and shoulders 10X10
