Grind Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yes I know the list. http://www.gripmonsters.fi/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1384101790&archive&start_from&ucat My rating device can't take the V2. I can say what I feel and level 15 is about as hard as my IM#1.5. Level 18 as hard as my GHP4. Very close to the V1 ratings from Matti. The 10lb jump is a harder jump than I expected. Glad I have the V2 to make the jump somewhat easier... I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royz Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Lots of people here on the gripboard seem to have closed the #2 on the first attemp. But it took me about a year to get there. So hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Mark, you tried putting a hoseclamp on your #2? Exploding into the handles and being able to close it makes the gripper feel more 'doable'. I choked every goal gripper I have closed before actually closing it Mms or deep set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hang in there! Not so long ago I got injured so it would be crazy to think that I could close the #2 so soon after. When I look at the past gripper training I can see that I'm booking some fast gains. This is also the first time that I focus on grippers, no other grip events. I felt that thick bar work made progress on grippers very hard. Mark, you tried putting a hoseclamp on your #2?

I don't put protection under them, the knurling on that high part has not much use anyway. But I would say your best bet would some athletic tape or 'schilderstape' it leaves no sticky residu after removing. like I said, the best use I got from choker work was the mental feel that the gripper actually felt doable in the close. Place it in the sweet spot and explode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
