EeroR Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I just closed my BBGM from parallel, but it was put in a choker. It was an easy close. Anyway it was the first time I managed to do this. Looks like I`m getting results from doing doubles with the SM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPierce Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Keep it going, EeroR, you'll smash that #3 in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joefrey Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Go on man ! COC3 close is in sight ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJan85 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Just ordered my #3 a couple minutes ago so hope to get it this next week. The only gripper I have right now (or have ever touched for that matter) is my #2 and I can hit that for 21 no-set reps with my right hand. I'm not sure what to expect from the #3 but I know it will be damn tough. Can't wait for it to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiladhar Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 figured id join in this thread too. im currently working with a filed 2.5 (very close to closing it). 3-4 sets of heavy negatives twice a week seems optimal for me, although every 4-5 weeks ill skip a day and do either an attempt on a heavier gripper, or just some light work with a 1.5 or 2, and my grip machine. good luck to all trying to close the 3, im sure we'll all get there soon enough!

thehardway Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yeah, you are probably able to close the #3. That is alot of work before attempting it. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jade Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i am gonna try and take a video of it some time this weekend just waiting for my hands to heal up, lower to middle of my palm is so sore was training doing as many singles with a CoC #2 taking a break between a single every one minute do you think this is a good way to train for the #3 ?

JayPierce Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 You seem to be a bit stronger than me on grippers, so take my advice with a grain of salt, but I think you'd do better training with the 2.5. Especially if you're doing singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPierce Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Just as an update on my training, I had a moment of clarity (rare) the other day. I said "self, if your trying to work on your set, you need to set more often". Duh, I know. But the great idea that came out of it was: Clusters! I just alternate hands with every rep. It allows me to get more volume with heavy grippers, and I have to set each rep. We'll see if this gets me past the last 1/4" on the #3 quicker.

jade Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Got my BB Gm today able to close with both hands feeling very close to the #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchcalvin Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Here is my BBGM close. This was my best effort today. I had a grip workout yesterday but I couldn't resist. I freeze framed it and zoomed in and everything. I am positive I got it bumped closed.....very close to the #3! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsRNK-90R0s Edited November 21, 2009 by tchcalvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is A way and there are a lot to gain strength. As long as you make improvements, stick with it. Anyway, if you can close a # 2.5, use it more often. To be able to close a # 3 you'll have to work with grippers easier AND stronger than a # 3. Easier ones will help you master the setting, set milestones and get confidence. Stronger ones will help you force your hands to adapt to huge workouts and get strength in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stronger ones will help you force your hands to adapt to huge workouts and get strength in return. I absolutely agree with this advice. I was stuck at around 1/8" away from closing the #3 for many frustrating months until i started trying reps on the 2.5. I closed the 3 when i could do 4 - 5 reps on it.

JayPierce Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Wow... has it really been over nine months?!?!? Has nobody won this thing yet??? I'm damn close to getting it. I have recently blasted 8 reps on my average #2.5, and almost got 5 on my hard #2.5 (hasn't been cleaned and oiled in forever). I've tried all kinds of stuff... BFN's, heavy singles, high reps... nothing worked better than just repping in the 2-8 range three times a week with moderate volume. Haven't attempted the #3 in several months. Gonna give it a go on Friday, between sets of squats. Gotta make sure to get the vid, 'cause I think I can finally close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malice Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Go get it Jay! I'll join your race although there's no way I'll be closing it by Friday. Maybe in 2 or 3 weeks it'll be going down. I get closer each workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knyaz Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 way to go Jay, its cool that someone has worked on it and will get it !!! close that 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPierce Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Aaaaargh! So close! I'll put the vid up later, but there is definitely some daylight between the handles. If I had done a better job of setting it on the first attempt, I think it would have shut. Got better sets on the next two attempts, but still didn't get it.
