lifesnotfair Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 No doubt !! Is there already a level to beat ? I hope Steve answers this, but if I had to guess I'd say this challenge would be won by Gabriel Sum right now... he has a video of several consecutive #3 TNS closes, I don't remember how many but it was definitely over 5 closes in less than 20 or 30 seconds and remember it's a #3, so with a #2.5 I'd guess he'd easily go over 10, maybe over 15 in 60 seconds, but these numbers are just guesses of course.

mobsterone Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 First he has to take part. TNS is as much about hand size and it's a volume thing. I've done it with a 3 in the past so we'll see what happens. Also my 2.5 was straight out of a wrapper rather than some unknown pre-stressed broken in gripper. I can do the 2.5 and the 3 cold (no warm-ups) but obviously, for keeping my hands healthy, prefer them warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Tuesday Today's session was all about getting the clamped-in-tight feeling in my hands. I didn't have it for the first few reps but the rest were better and better. I'll be upping the weight by 5.5-kilos next time (so 91.7kg becomes 96.7kg). I coached Naz between attempts. 2HP @ 44mm equ x 6 reps, +30-kilos x 3 reps, +50-kilos x 1 rep, +60-kilos x 1 rep, +70-kilos x 10 x 1 reps and 1 x 2 reps to finish.

mobsterone Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Thursday Poor Naz spent a good 10 mins setting up. 95% of that was getting one of the heavy sand bags off of the ground with me giving him gip. DH WD work Damn the thing never gets easy. Baring in mind last weekends performance it's hard to imagine going 2 levels higher, as i did, when your shaking out the pain after a level 8 effort.

mobsterone Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Friday Slightly tender spot in left hand where the gripper sits - possibly from WD work yesterday. That may have also taken the edge off of being a little more successful. Still work/volume done.
