Bill Piche Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 This machine that Wade is selling....a great one at a great price. Anyone who is serious about grippers will want one. That's all I have to say. HAH! Yeah, I was typing too fast. Wayne, Wade, hey they both start with W! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Does the top come off of Wade's machine the way it did on the Kinney one( to prevent cheating)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Gillingham Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Does the top come off of Wade's machine the way it did on the Kinney one( to prevent cheating)? Josh - no, we mount it to the base. The machine is only 20 pounds so I guess if you were "cheating" you would pick the whole thing off the ground!

Sybersnott Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 HAH! Yeah, I was typing too fast. Wayne, Wade, hey they both start with W! Wannagrip starts with a 'W' too! Next time, slow down your speedy typing, Bill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchcalvin Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Picking it up or not... there is very little cheating with this machine. I am kissing the bad palm skin tears goodbye! Edited January 10, 2010 by tchcalvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tusrb41 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Also when using the GSS Negative Machine I've noticed it is better to stand off to the opposite side from the hand being trained. (Training right hand stand off to left) This helps keep the extensor muscles in alignment for full engagement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchawk Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I just got my GSS Negative machine today and could not resist trying it out even though I trained grip very hard yesterday. I saw something about the ratio being around 2:1. Can anyone share on their experiences in using this machine. For example, let's say I wanted to train to close a #3 which is listed as 280 lbs. Can I assume that I should be working with a weight around 140 lbs? I tried a test similar to this and the weight seemed like way too much but then again my hands, wrists and forearms are completely burnt from yesterdays w/o.

I've never used the negative machine, but I'm guessing you could use less weight than that, because the #3 takes much less than 280 pounds of pressure to close it. The ratings given by manufacturers are not accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha its 2:1 according to RGC calibrations! On the RGC the #4 cals from 200 to 220 so some people use 100 pounds or so on the secret weapon. But even 100 is way too heavy for most people. If you're in the #3 realm you should be using around 70 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw this and it coincides with what I have discovered from just using the machine. I'm using 65 lbs at the moment and it is quite challenging.
