      Yes, I technically have 3 days off a week.  Now its supposed to be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off. Then 4 days on. I actually do train grippers recently in max attempts to get a PR even in the early morning. It fatigues me so much that I even take hour long rests in between, sometimes more. For example 7 am , 8 , 9, 10 , 1 , 2 , 3 pm. Maybe 7 to 10 attempts in a day.

      Yes, there is definitely fatigue associated with maxing out on grippers, both muscle and CNS fatigue. Training daily can work early on, or can work with higher volume in certain instances of more trained individuals, but I don't know of an instance where people can get away daily low-volume/high-intensity work without degradation of results.

      Do you have any rest days? Sounds like you're training grippers daily and multiple times a day, which is probably not optimal. It wouldn't work for me anyway.

      Hey guys, I’ve been thinking about starting arm wrestling for awhile now, there’s a club near by that practices on Saturday nights. I train grippers twice a week and I’m wondering if arm wrestling once a week is gonna clash hard with my gripper training goals? If not, what kind of split would you recommend? I’m assuming gripper training won’t be doable for a few days after arm wrestling? Would training grippers early on Saturday and then arm wrestling at night be doable?
    • alan_fra
      Yes. Thanks for the advice ! On April 12 I could rep the Baraban 130 2 times. Then on April 13 I switched up to 132.5 and finally on April 15 3 days later I closed it the first time and held it for 5 sec. It makes sense that there could be fatigue as a result of maxing out. I just tried again on the 132.5 and was 2 mm away. So it looks like I have to be at peak form to close it.
