nrw125 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Today was my first workout with strapholds- Let's just say it was humbling. I didn't have any small plates so I used a 1ltr bottle i filled with water. I estimate it probably only came in at 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 pounds . Oh well. It obviously wasn't an ego boosting workout but every workout is one workout closer to closing the #2. I'll let you know... Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don of tha new grip Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 What gripper you using for you're holds? when I started strapholds I went to high I started out with 10lbs. but I was using the trainer (the only gripper I can close). I guess I must of missed something, Why don't you use more weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrw125 Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 (edited) Don, right now I'm using a filed #1 for strap holds. Today I used 10lbs for the right, 3 or 4 reps of 5-6 sec holds. Same with the left except only used 5 lbs. When I posted that last one on strap holds, it was my first workout, really didn't know what to start with. And I was doing the holds for a lot longer (12-15 sec) with the 1/4 the weight. Making good progress, I'll keep yall updated. By the way, these have really helped me on the #2 since last week. Since then I've gone from my best being 5 mm short, to being able to consistently get about 4 mm. There's a big difference between picking up the gripper and hoping you can do something versus picking it up and knowing you will do it. I graduate from college here May 10, the goal is to be on the gripboard's #2 list by then. Nick Edited April 22, 2003 by nrw125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
