routine with dbs of John Grimek

[Sergio]

Here is from a unknow mag of the forties a rouine of Grimek with dbs, use by him and all the lifters of York as a complement for the the heavy lifting of that times:


Snatch with two fbs: 3 sets of 8 reps.
Press wit dbs:  5 x 5
Uright rowing:  5 x 3 accelerating the upload.
Side Bends: 1 x 20-25 (each side).
Shurg: 2 x 12.
Dbs laterals: 2 x 12.
Swings with one hand: 1 x 15-20 (with each hand).

Uright rowing:  5 x 3 accelerating the upload.

Ups, acceleration uploading is too bad for the frontal head.  That cheat old movement...so good in the beggining but...

[Sergio]

Those times where of incredible over use of the delts: a lot of olimpic liftings with the classical exercises with dbs.

Hello Sergio,

There is also an abbreviated routine which Grimek recommended, which included DB work, but I'm not sure where to find it right now.

I wonder when this "complement" routine you posted was used, in relation to their Olympic lifting--if it was same day, or on days they didn't do Olympic lifts, or what.

I don't know, Eric.  But I hace more Grimek's articles from H&S times that I have to post. Maybe in one of them are the photos of this routine or other with dbs, because I remember seeing it.
