Rest day.
12 hour shift + drive and shower time + birthday party to attend + Walking Dead on last night = absolutely no time!

Super short day today - on my 6thd straight 12 hour shift with little sleep, so I slept in an extra couple of hours.

Still, I strapped in for one 20-minute set @ 12.5 lbs

4 x 20 minutes hanging. 1 set @ 10 lbs, 1 set at 12.5 lbs, 1 set at 15 lbs and the last set at 17.5 lbs. Did the first 10 minutes of each set seated SD, and the last 10 minutes BTC.

Skipped out on the Jelqing for the day.

Had to take it a little light. My bib starter developed a really bad crack at the top wing nut ( it broke through on my last set, though I was ready and waiting for it)
I did 3 x 20 minute sets @ 10 lbs, and a 4th set @10 lbs for about 10 minutes.

I contacted bib a few days back when I found the crack, and he already sent replacement halves out (I only had to pay the cost of shipping = awesome support!)

I'll probably break out my bib hardcore tomorrow, the replacement parts aren't supposed to be here until the 6th...

Well, since my Bib starter broke, I figured I would remove the padding today. I'm going to try to use T88 structural epoxy (I real strong epoxy used on aircraft) to put the broken hanger back together, hopefully long enough that the replacement arrives. This will allow me to test whether or not I like using the hanger without the padding - and if I like it I'll remove the padding from the replacement halves when they arrive. I figured with a broken hanger, I have nothing to lose with my little test.

Here is a picture of where the hanger snapped:

Note that I don't believe it to be a quality issue with the hanger - I routinely tighten it as far as humanly possible and I've tightened it so much a few times that I actually stripped the threads out on the top bolt (I like my hanger TIGHT!). I'll post a picture once I get it epoxied back together.

Nightmare...

I coated the teeth of my Hardcore with Sugru Rubber. Possible solution if you prefer a softer grip.

 

[donjelqer76]

nice idea WM- aside from the softer grip, it may help narrow the well a little for guys with less girth

300 wet jelqs this morning

4 x 20 minutes hanging before bed (10 lbs, 12.5 lbs, 15 lbs and 15 lbs.) It was a little rough today because I used my Bib Hardcore. I epoxied my starter today, but T88 epoxy has a pretty long set time, so I won't get to try it out until tomorrow. The hardcore is definitely starting to fit better - I've finally measured my girth and I'm up to 5.5", which I'm sure is helping the fit. Not a bad day at all

My replacement Bib Starter halves came from Bib today - super fast shipping, and he only charged me $8 for shipping. You simply can't complain about service like that!.. Will be starting my routine in a bit...

300 wet jelqs this morning after waking up

3 x 20 minutes @ 10 lbs hanging (didn't have time for a more full routine today)

The new bib starter body is going to take some time to get used to. Even though they are produced in a mold, this new one feels much different than my old one and the pressure points are much different!

B-day, so things were busy. Got in 250 wet jelqs before my morning shower

 

[donjelqer76]

3-6-13

250 meals
5 x 20 minutes seated SD hanging @ 10 lbs

still don't have my new bib starter adjusted for the fit I'm used to, it may take a few more days of trial and error

250 wet jelqs and 5 x 15 second ULIs before my morning shower

4 x 20 minutes hanging. 3 sets at 10 lbs, one set at 12.5 lbs.

3-8-2013

400 wet jelqs and a few various squeezes before my morning shower. I'll update later tonight after my hanging sessions...

EDIT:
5 x 20-minute hanging sets. 1 @ 10 lbs, 1 @ 12.5 lbs, 1 @ 15 lbs and 1 @ 17.5 lbs. I felt really good today and I"m getting my new Bib starter adjustments tuned in. I almost forgot how hard it was to get settings just right!

Yow! A little sore from yesterday! I had to do a ghost set to get the tenderness down, but then all went well.
