      Can Coc #2 holds translate to an increase crushing power ?

      By alan_fra · Posted

      Thanks for the reply !  I have the Barraban adjustable gripper that I recently closed on Monday at 132.5 RGC. The funny thing is that since then I haven't closed it again and just tried now and was 3 mm away. Has anyone experienced hitting a new PR RGC level and then struggled to close it again for days later ? I supposed I will try holding a stronger gripper that I recently closed like the Coc 2.5 for seconds to improve in strength some more like it was recommended. That will be harder

      By Climber028 · Posted

      Isometrics are one of the best ways to gain strength in a specific range, but typically if you can do it for 25 to 30 seconds then it is too easy for you. You should be altering the load such that you can only hold for 3 to 12 seconds, plus or minus whatever you feel like

      Whats considered "average"

      By Cannon · Posted

      My experience is similar. I have run many "grip gauntlet" booths at USAPL meets and had grippers at my desk in corporate America for about 15 years. The average guy, untrained in grip, can close a #1 after they've been shown anything about how to hold the gripper. There was more upside at the powerlifting meets. Sometimes a guy would walk up and no set a #2 and ask "what are these?" That never happened at my desk job. A lot of the powerlifting folks could give the #2 a real scare after being shown how to hold a gripper. There was more downside at the corporate crowd. There would be guys who just couldn't quite get the Trainer even after receiving tips. You could always see the skew was really affecting them from a coordination standpoint and they would predictably exclaim, "it's trying to twist out of my hand!"  But, on average, any given untrained guy that tried could usually close the #1.
