Good job on your pr chops. I've always wondered if anyone rated the actual MM grippers? Or what about do the rate?

I'd like to know mm1,2 and 3

Still haven't touched a gripper since my MM0. Well I lied, I picked two up to mail out, lol.

does everyone agree that it is about 153# or so

I would be pretty shocked if it was noticeably harder. Set is like butter.

butter for you lol. What do you guess the mm1 2 and 3 rate

MM1 = around 153 with an easy set

MM2 = around 163, 164. something like that. Feels very close to an average Elite

MM3 = this is the one that separates the elite crush guys. Its probably around 180. The set isn't bad but it ramps up and gets real difficult around the last 1/4" of the close. obviously all grippers ramp up but this one felt like it does more than usual. Around 1/4" you hit a wall and have to blast through it.

That's pretty close to what I would guess although I would estimate the MM3 a little higher between 182 and 184 from what I remember. Hard to know for sure due to that bind at the end that gives most tough guys fits.

I agree. I use to say 180-183 for the MM3 but I'm not sure if its the bind making me think higher. I remember closing my 180 #3.5 barely before I barely closed the MM3 during my cert. They have a different feel though so it is hard to go off that.

New PR of 147 a couple days ago. Haven't been able to duplicate it yet.

Looking forward to MM1, does everyone agree that it is about 153# or so?

Great work, Todd!!! That is about average #3 range now. My guess is the MM1 is low-150lb range. 153lbs sounds like a good guess. You're really climbing fast on the grippers.

Yeah. Fearing the eventual wall. At some point my overall body strength will hold me back. I don't lift at all. That will hurt me.

I want in on this, right now by best close is 148 on a good day, a really good day.

NICE!

Manna, you think it's a six month goal? How fast have you put on gripper strength.

I'm hoping that I could shoot for it before summer. I'd like to MM1 before I have been doing grippers for 1 full year.

All the regular excuses!! Ha!

Your right tho. I should suck it up and start again. That's the hardest part for me sometimes.

Its a good 6 month goal if you're already closing high 140 grippers. I think its very possible. I gain gripper strength slow, but I really dont train grippers..I just make random attempts at them. Im going to start over crushing my easier #3 and adding some negatives.

Trained grippers tonight. Made several attempts at my 151 rated #3, came pretty close. Forced closed and held my 152 ghp7 a few times as well as a couple negatives with my unrated 3.5.

Heres my best attempt at my 151, although I think the set was pretty deep.

I had a knuckle injury and stayed away from the boards to avoid temptation (when I read about other people gripping or bending I can't resist doing it myself).

As an update I have closed my LT CoC #3 150 lbs for numerous singles. I have failed my GHP #7 152 lbs but by narrow margins.

I read through this form and noticed how close a lot of guys are, I want to keep it alive. Do we have any status updates?

I know EJ closed it, congrats. Chops how are you doing with it? I noticed awhile back you were making some awesome gains. Anybody else have any status updates?

Nice, I just watched you block setting your GM 140 lbs. Looked super strong, where are you with a MMS?

Thanks. I'd say about 160 if I ate my wheaties.

The mm1 is about 155-156 so if you are there cert it now. You got it.

This is my best close to date, GHP 7 152 lbs...is the set too narrow? I'm still a rookie at MMS, it looked a little shallow to me. Thank for looking and any advice.

I'm gonna say that's too narrow. When I doubt go wider.
