patrickmeniru Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Finally got around to recording a #3 TNS close in better quality than my first video, decided to give it a go lefty as well and to my surprise either just closed it or just missed by a fraction, either way I think I'll be able to close it lefty convincingly pretty soon, as its been a while since I trained grippers so I'm a little rusty (I think there's a little more technique involved even with TNS than people tend to think). Anyhow, being able to dominate the #3 with both hands has been a longstanding goal of mine, so happy to be just about there (even though I think I'll chalk the left hand attempt down as a miss). Cheers for all the advice and encouragement. Might be in the market for something to help bridge the gap to the #3.5 soon. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 VERY cool. Well done. You should follow in Doc Blob's footsteps and do a TNS CoC certification! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! 1 hour ago, Chez said: Very cool. Now TNS one in each hand at the same time. Haha, thanks Chez - that would be cool, although something tells me that this would be a lot harder than doing each hand separately! You've done this though right? 18 minutes ago, Squeezus said: Very strong! Followed. How long is your hand from fingertip to wrist crease, btw? Thanks! From the tip of my middle finger to the crease of my wrist is just a fraction over 21cm (21.2ish). Or 8 and 1/3 inches in old money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Matt! Will definitely think about doing just that - although I'd like to cert both hands at the same time and not sure my left is quite up to it yet (not sure what my 3 rates as and don't want to get surprised by a particularly tough cert gripper). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've done this though right? Yep, I have done it and I had a video of it but a hacker got into my youtube and deleted all my older videos :(. I submitted to feat judging though and I'm the gripboard list for it. It is crazy hard. I was doing no sets reps on the 3's with each hand separately at the time, but getting them at the same time was an all out effort. Its also super hard to get on video because of the angle. I almost passed out. My legs were all wobbly and I had to fight to keep from falling. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @bencrush ( <-- I didn't realise we could do that now!) Yeah I'm a little disappointed I didn't hold on a little longer so that the camera could get a better angle, but there's always next time! And definitely, I think I'd do the CCS first just to have it in the bag and then try for the TNS!
