Scott Styles Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Josh, this video shows how a no-set is done with 7" hands: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=1410 That gripper only has a spread of 2.75". Nothing like the 3" monsters Ironmind is pumping out these days. No-setting is a completely different exercise for me than for someone with large hands.

TelegraphKey Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Can someone tell me here, or point me to the place i can find, information about all the different spreads on all the grippers, at least the IM CoC's. Which year's brands of CoC's are supposed to be harder than others, and why. What are the various spreads for all the different kinds of CoC's. Are all the spreads random & you have to measure each gripper you get to be sure, or is there some pattern to it all? My #2, over 10 years old, is 2-11/16". My #1, same age as #2, is 2-15/16" almost 3". Trainer (last year) is 2-11/16". Girly Guide (last year) is just a sixteenth over 2.5". WTF? Where is the info on the Gripboard I can find out about all this? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelegraphKey Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 BTW, completely off-topic, but I want to say THANK YOU to SYBERSNOTT, who directed me to contact Bill Ennis at Beefbuilders and order a Grip Machine. It's in the mail and I can't wait for it. Thanks again, Sybersnott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelegraphKey Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 That reminds me, the charts from the set/no-set/hand size thread are in my gallery:http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=1419 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?act=mod...cmd=si&img=1416 Scott, It's hard to tell with that plot how random or linear it is. Do you think you reached any definite conclusion? It does look like bigger hands = less difference between set & no-set, which is what we'd expect I think.

Scott Styles Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 My definite conclusion was that I didn't have nearly enough or high enough quality data. I took liberal assumptions all over the place. With that said, I conclude no-setting gets easier as hand size goes up. No setting also gets easier as you practice it. If you want to do the best, have a big hand and practice it. A small handed individual that practices learning how to no-set can keep up with medium handed individuals of the same strength. They're still gonna geat beat by the guys with big hands though. The leverage advantage is pretty big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lipinski Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 No, the gripper was just really wide. I did not have very good leverage there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
