golgotha Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Once you can do ~25 reps on a certain gripper, i don't think doing more reps with it will improve your max strenght much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soilworker Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Impressive volume. That video was really choppy, hard to tell how far the gripper was opening up to. Looked like 1/2" at least most of the time to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalwartSentinel Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Here's the video:http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=3406 ← Great volume! With fresh hands, you must smash that #3 shut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opnsysme Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 OK, so I was not one of the ones saying you could not get the reps, but I did complain to you about your thought on chalk. Never the less I give you credit where credit is due.....Great job...............even with chalk See its not so bad after all is it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilworker Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I just tried to semi-duplicate this feat for fun. First set got 38 reps, letting out to 1" or so. The next set 8 or so minutes later I got 7 reps. I don't see how you can pull of that kind of volume. Mad props G... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 about doing the high volume... i only rested 4 or 5 min between all the attempts. i do a tonnn of volume in the gym and never use straps...i think thats why. also i ride motocross.....which for anyone who knows motocross,is a hellll of a forearm workout...pumps you up like nothing else.

You told us you could do closer to 50 reps opening your hand to about 3/4'' each rep. Your video does not support that claim. In most reps you seem to open your hand significantly less than 3/4''. No one doubted that you could do 50 odd baby reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 you all have to relize this video was made on a whim,gordon can attest to that. me,my gf and the dog pulled up,i got out of my truck,and 3 min later i knocked off 200 reps of the 2 and a few close 3 attempts,no warm up,no siking up,no devil metel playing lol nothing. it was like any of you asking your friends to try to close grippers. i might have to get serious. bring out the specialized programs,and the medicated mittens and grip intell my hands get bloody and tore up. intell i have strange pain in my wrists and tendons. lol when you do about 2 reps a second its hard to think about opening to a certian depth. the last 10 or so open over an inch....so? some people might want to bust out a tape and see an 3/4 inch is small. and if you seen the pms i got you would all see what i ment by haters.....its all good though.

Tom of Iowa2 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Crazy display of strength 'endurance'.Amazing recovery time between Max rep efforts. Very,IMHO,unusual ability to recoop so quickly between maxing out your reps....and not being sore? A 'harder'(harder than Gordon V's)might be closer to an EZ 3 than you think?

bencrush Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 King, good job with all the reps man. You always make reference to how you don't even specialize on the grippers. Then you jokingly (I think) say that you might have to get serious and specialize with some programs and mittens. Go for it! Show all the doubters what you can do. With a bit of set work and specialization you will probably close an Elite pretty soon. I once did mostly high rep sets for a while. Got to the point where I could do a good amount of reps with a #2...but STILL couldn't close a #3. Sometimes the body just won't transfer the strength built from high reps to a max effort. Some people can make it work. Like Zakath and maybe Flo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
