Hi everyone! Does it make sense to have a single reps with heavy grippers 6 days a week for 5-6 single reps on each hand per day, and combine it with studies armwrestling three times a week?

If you see progress, yes. If not, then change it up.

Well I know for me that wouldn't work. The pressure put on my hands from grippers is too much, making recovery slow. So I only do them once a week. But if it works for you, then do it. Just be aware of fatigue, improper recovery, and anything that feels like injury. If that happens, change it up.

I train as often but not on the same movements.

Thanks everyone! The problem is that I just can not not touch grippers for a single day, I ask my wife that she had hidden them. Then under the pretext that "I just see them", take and compress them))) So, my solution for that problem, system of training 6 days a week. If will not be progress, I will try train with grippers once a week,

That's totals to a volume of 20-30 supramax/ max/ or circamax closes a week. I say go for it, see how your body responds, but tread with caution.

What you might want to do, if you really just can't keep your hands off the grippers, is have alternating light and heavy days. Say, Monday Wednesday and Friday would be your heavy single close days, while Tuesday Thursday Saturday you could use a much lighter gripper and do a few sets of reps, which would train either endurance or do recovery, depending on how light you go.

this is good idea! Thanks

from what position do better singles? MMS with heavier gripper or CCS with easier? or it is not matter?

Just depends on what you're training for. If you're training to do a CCS cert, then do that, if you're training for an MMS cert, or a competition where that set will be used, do that.

Personally, I don't set grippers, I just close them from open. I have my own reasons for that...

Don't spend to long at a time on a grip session if you are training 6 days a week just do what your body can handle!

Best to start slow, low volume, low intensity and over time pick up the volume then intensity. Train smart, avoid injury, slow and steady will get you to your goals with minimal time off from injury.

Completed RRBT program. Nothing.. Started train once a week. Finally I see progress!

You have to wait until the program is complete. There is no way you will see gains immediately normally as it's basically controlled overtraining/overreaching. It's called a rebound. Which is why after you switched to once a week after RRBT "progress" started.

Maybe...
