Bill Piche Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Matt, you are doing the grippers once per week? Is the 3 your goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest el4n Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Quoted from Mjoynt My hands felt a lot better today. Maybe the extra reps on my warmup sets helped a little. Who knows? I'm progressing so fast that I'm amazing myself. I plan on closing my DOUBLE-STAMPED #3 by the end of this year. Maybe my goals are set a bit high, but the way I'm progressing I think it may be a possibility! I'll be back next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjoynt Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 Wannagrip, I now plan on doing strapholds twice per week. Yes, the #3 is my current goal, then the #4, but first things first. Any advice is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjoynt Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 -Tuesday November 5, 2002- Left Hand: Strapholds w/ single-stamped #2 - 13x1x3 Right Hand: Strapholds w/ single-stamped #2 - 18x1x3 Once I reach 20lbs with any one gripper, I will move to the next level gripper (in this case, the BB Master) and start over with no weight. Anyone who is considering trying strapholds, please try them. They have worked wonders for my grip training. I thought that with the absence of normal gripper training, that my max close would suffer, but after closing the DOUBLE-stamped #2, I now believe that strapholds are the key for me to close the #3.

amaury Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Good progress mate !! Way to go. How did you decide to move to the next gripper when you can straphold 20lbs with your current gripper ? Amaury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjoynt Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 I just set a limit of 20lbs. My BB Master is only a little harder than my single-stamped #2 so it won't be a huge jump. 20lbs was just a number that I decided to set as the limit. No special reason I guess. ???

Mjoynt Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 Why stop doing what I'm doing now while I'm still progressing? I'll "mix it up" when I stop improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjoynt Posted November 15, 2002 Author Share Posted November 15, 2002 Make no mistake, I also do pinching, thick bar work and wrist work. I don't just do the grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
