maidenfan Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Good luck guys! I want no part of this one. - Aaron C'mon dude - the best I've done is an 1/8" or so and thats a long ways off. I'm just using this as motivation to keep at it.

Matt Brouse Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm in! Mostly as an attempt to get back to serious about using the grippers once in a while. BTW, I don't think I've ever closed the 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdfk20 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Whats Kevin Bussi like at No set work? He made that MM5 look easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Whats Kevin Bussi like at No set work? He made that MM5 look easy. He made it look easy, but from a set smaller than 1", I'd say 3/4".. going from there to 3" (or so) is very different! this is gonna be a quality thread, has chad no setted the 3.5? could get him sam and mob in thisedit, i think chad could do this already if he hasnt, there are a lot of other people who could be in this just cant remember everyones name I don't know egg, because someone told me Chad, who CCS'ed a #3 in that contest where he won a few weeks ago, tried the #3.5 and wasn't even close??

jad Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Good luck guys Looking forward to the log. Grippers vary, I know of at least one 3.5 that tested WELL below 180's they usually fall in. TNS a 3.5 that tests 182 or better would be reeeee-diculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thearm95 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 this is awesome - (I reckon this thread will receive the most hits since the ones about Tex attempting the #4 cert) Good luck guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Did grippers today with regular lifting. Also for reference my 3.5 feels about the same or mabye a hair tougher than Gregs which RGC'ed at either 180 or 182.5 I don't remember which. 1 set no set reps w/ 2.5, I'm doing an overcrush on every rep instead of just touching them like regular. Did a set of max reps with both hands and then waited 20 secs, did another, waited another 30 and did a last set. Hands were dead and still managed to get the 3.5 down to ~3/8th'' no set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Nice - I did a bunch of attempts on my new 2.5" Grand Elite and MM2 at work today so the hands are toast - gonna take a few days off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I think I'll jump in just for fun. Cant resist. My 3.5 has a 3 and 1/8 spread and calibrated at 191 so I don't think I will do to good. But it will be fun to see how close I can get and just might get a little stronger which always is good. I think Wes will win this from what I hear. Wes is pretty amazing for his age or any age for that matter. Good luck to everyone that joins in.

patrick Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I was trying to see how far away I was on it today. I could get it to 3/8 no set. Thats a long ways away. Going to add some more sweep work and use my grip machine some more. Anyway I guess its a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
