      So I’ve been having my daily thoughs on how I can improve on grippers and or grip in general. Those who know me by now, they know I am an obsessive maniac when it comes to researching😂 So jumping on topic, I’ve had this thought in my mind that maybe if I put 100% intent into my gripper closes I’ll build more “power”. You know, like doing a snatch or any other olympic lifts where you need speed to produce since you can’t slowly do a snatch now can you?😅 Back to the point and what I am asking.. I am by no means a professional when it comes to all that, and I know some parta of our bodies have more fast twitch muscle fibers than others. Nontheless we all know that you can actually fire them fibers up, not sure about producing more fast twitch fibers but atleast “activate” them. My thought is that maybe doing speed closes or let’s say power closes with grippers might be doing something for that. We all say that it’s pretty obvious you should have intent with every rep, but I am not sure we really put 100% intent into having that speed on the closes. Now I can’t say this for certain, that’s why I am here now to ask you knowledgeable people..  is it possible, if so what rep ranges would be good before losing that effect, how much rest, how hard of a gripper would be needed.. and would it work at all? I am curious to see, and to end this topic here I just want to say that I’ve noticed something while trying to do some sets with just the #1 and #2… I felt super fatigues after but at the same time I also felt more “bouncy” in my hand.. like I got some extra power.. might be bias.. So set the gripper and BAAM!!  Split second close, faster than lightning😂 Of course do this safely, set the gripper and pull slightly before applying maximum force😎

      Deffo feeling the uphill battle now. Time for a deload and I’ll be more recovered next time to give it better shot.

      Everyone is their own worst critic.. Those are nice numbers. I'm not a violent person or even a fighter but id end up punching somebody in the face if I went to a gym like that.
