greppstark Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 As topic, what poundage would you estimate the MM1 to end up with rated with the rgc method? (only for those who have certed with this gripper.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McCarter Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Just my 2 cents: 154-156 (give or take from the years of certification attempts). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greppstark Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks guys! Now I know where to be in order to cert this gripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Agreed. The knurling is on the smooth side. And it's nasty at the close if the gripper is near your limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McCarter Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Agreed. The knurling is on the smooth side. And it's nasty at the close if the gripper is near your limit. Agreed and considering that the ends are very different than what you'll currently find on the market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Radford Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is the knurling similar to other WT grippers? Out of interest are the MM grippers oiled before being sent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greppstark Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Is the knurling similar to other WT grippers? Don't think so as Matt wrote the knurling is on the smooth side. Beef builder grippers is known for having rough knurling! I think I will wait until i can close my Elite because then I know i'm ready Edited June 17, 2015 by Simon Norevi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I brush the chalk off the handles and clean the spring for every cert. On the knurling, maybe it was that sharp and one point, but they've been mailed and used enough that it's pretty smooth these days. Maybe around IM sharpness or slightly less.

I'm curious as someone that wants to climb the ladder in the future. I found my estimates for you: MM1 - 153ish. The thing about this gripper is that it has a super soft easy set and sweep so that helps if the set is your weak point. MM2 - about 163/164. MM3 - 180-183. this is the real divider. I closed my 180 COC #3.5 right before and this felt harder. I had to dig deep. they made it a big jump on purpose. For some reason that last quarter inch really binds so it gives you false confidence until you hit that last bit. You have to blast through it MM4 - 182-184. Not really much harder than the MM3 if at all. Smoother. I don't remember the same bind at the end. MM5 - 190. Next noticeable jump MM6 - felt just like my 194 super elite. MM7 - 197-200. Felt like my grand elite 198 grand elite MM8 - 204-206. Per Morgan. MM9- 205-210 per Steve Anderson MM10 - no one has tried it yet 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I thought MM1 was maybe 150-151 as opposed to 153, because my PR when I went for MM1 was my COC 3 rated 153 and I thought MM1 was noticeably easier than that. But as Chez says, that could be because of the easy set (and setting not being my strong point). I thought MM2 might be about 162, but could have been a little more. When I went for MM2 - and I just barely got it - my PR was an MMS double on a COC 3 rated 160. So I figure I was closing in the low 160s -- I did not have anything else less than 170 to try at the time, and since then my MMS PR on the two occasions when I felt I was at my best ever at grippers and a shade stronger than when I did MM2 (around when I certed the 3) has been 165. So I feel like MM2 would not have been as high as 164, but maybe I was just amped and on that day. @Lucasraymond just submitted his MM2, so he may have a fresh thought on this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM1 is so long ago I cannot remember. Id say MM2 is around 163-164 (we have grippers in 162, 163, and 164)...ive been closing 168-170 consistently with mms and 164 x 2-3 with 20mm block set but aggravated my already injured index finger at work on monday so waited basically 48 hrs to give it some time to recover before trying it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I thought MM1 felt like 151. I say this because I can get/almost get my 152 #3 most days lefty so this definitely felt easier. But then again, the set in the MM1 was like butter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetting grippers feel easier to me at the same weight compared to COC....they are generally narrower and easier to set from what ive felt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubyagrip Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I don't think MM1 could have been much more than 150. I can't quite TNS my 159 Cobalt, but I was able to TNS the MM1 after two MMS attempts a few minutes prior. The MM2 is no more than 164. My 3.5 I train with is 165, and it felt roughly the same. I'll let you all know what I think about the MM3 soon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was MM2 and I just did a 164 today for a mms x2….just shows some days are better than others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
