JayPierce Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Way to go, Matt! I still have a ways to go, but I managed a right-handed close on my 134lb 2.5 on Friday pretty easily. This week is a deload week for me, so my next attempt at the #3 will be next Friday (or Wednesday, if I'm feeling strong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbinepro Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 good job on that coc 2.5 close. I heavily filed mine to go way past the normal range. then when i got it consistently I would take more off . Anyway how far are you from Decatur AL.

JayPierce Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've been thinking about filing it as I go along, but I would rather buy a heavier gripper so I can work on my set. I guess I could just put a hose clamp on the spring coils and tighten it as I get stronger. I think that would make the set a bit tougher. I live a good piece away from Decatur. I think it's around a six hour drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntca Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Alright fellas. Just made an order with Wade. I am figuring beginning of the week I should have my #3. Maybe this thing won't be over by then. But, the way you guys are going, it may be. Awesome job by all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Good luck to you all - you're all going to smash the #3 very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchcalvin Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just closed my 2.5 for 4 reps just past parallel. Still about 1/8-3/16 of an inch on my #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbinepro Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 everyone is doing great and how fast everyone is going that is pushing me to try even harder thanks for that good luck to all Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehardway Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Okay, got my BB SM lefty today and 4 consecutive singles righty. My buddies #2.5 is actually harder than my bb sm. His is unoiled though, that might have something to do with it. I got the #3 of mine to a 1/4", and that's something I didn't expect for a while. Keep up the good work guys!

huntca Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Got the grippers in yesterday. Wasn't feeling 100%. Got the #2.5 for 8 MMS reps. Was super stinkin close on the #3 once and fairly close a couple of other times. Edited September 15, 2009 by huntca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was super stinkin close on the #3 once and fairly close a couple of other times. I'd be willing to bet that if you'd only done a double or triple on the 2.5, you would have nailed the 3. I make my next attempt tomorrow after squats. I'll try to video and post it. Never posted a vid before, so we'll see what kind of problems I run into.

JayPierce Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well, I made my attempt today... After a week of rest... Freshly cleaned and oiled grippers... Just the right amount of chalk... After squats... and still I have at least a quarter inch to go. Not going to bother posting the vid (don't really see a reason to). I am making progress, though. The last attempt was just past parallel, so I've made almost a half inch of progress in one month. I also managed to close the 134lb #2.5 I bought from hubgeezer, lefty and righty. So that's a personal best for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Joe.....to anwser your question, no I have not done the KTA program.....though I do think I have an idea what it consists of which I think is using higher, tougher grippers than what you can close to reach your next goals. I do have two gripper stronger than my coc3 right now.....one is my WT T6(250).....and the other is my toughest one my HG300, that thing is a beast!...... Anyways if you check out my postings under workouts......the one I have titled stats and prs, I explain how my current workouts are, later man.

Vice Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Count me in on this one guys, I can only close my #2 right now, I'm probably a solid 1/2" from closing the #3 at this point but hopefully the extra motivation will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchcalvin Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 A couple of days ago I accedentily picked up my #3 by mistake while thinking I was overcrushing a #2.5 and I THINK I closed it!!! I'm not sure so I will be trying on monday. I will try to get a good video. The goal I set for myself was to close it by my birthday on October 12th.....not sure if I'll make it but I will give it one heck of a try. --calvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
