Guest Virgman2 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 At Sybersnot's request I am posting this. I haven't done much previous grip training like you all do. I have ordered a COC #3 which should arrive next week. It is suggested to start with the lighter models but I am too cheap to buy all those. I have a couple grippers from the sporting goods store of which the harder one I can do about 50-60 times. The COC sounds like it has car springs in it. I have a Jubinville plateloader grip machine that I can do 130lbs with each hand. It is big enough for 45 Oly plates and has an 11 inch spindle so it could hold over 400 lbs. It cost $60. You can still buy equipment from Ed Jubinville's son in Michigan. Far as I know they don't have a website which is curious. They are missing the boat in that regard. I tried some pinching and did 50lbs each hand on two 25 plates on a spare dumbell bar. Also made a pinch block 3" wide out of two 2x4 pieces cut 6" long with an eyebolt screwed in the bottom. With this I could get 55lbs each hand. Right now I'm doing the grip work twice a week at the end of my regular 3 times a week workout. I just work up to a max single on the grip machine and then one negative with more weight as a finisher. For the pinches I work up to a max single. Sometimes a do a wrist roller at the end with light weight to a burnout set. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
