John McCarter Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 so, I just got my MM0 off hand. an issue I had is getting it on film. I found it to be a lot harder to film a gripper close lefty rather than right. I would say practice video so that when you go to submit you aren't adding in another variable. Since barbe705 brought it up about practicing the video for gripper submission videos for the MM Ladder, if nobody here has seen it, I made a "how to" video, been up since the beginning of the year. The video is almost 2 hours long but covers many things that hasn't really been done before. Link is below, if you have any questions, please post over in that thread. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=39754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jari Hissa Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Finally got a better video of my coc3 parallel close Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edV3yRLEzWs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jari Hissa Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I will try to get to the mm0 status soon. I think i will get a close with my off hand also this week. Should i do 2 separate videos or 1 video where i show closes with both hands or does it matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should i do 2 separate videos or 1 video where i show closes with both hands or does it matter If you can do both in the same video, go for it! Just show that it's the same gripper, your set is good and crush the hell out of the handles. Also, make sure you read the rules before you make an attempt at the MM Ladder. One last thing, remember to have the video set to unlisted so we can't see it until it's given a pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANCRUSHER Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Finally got a better video of my coc3 parallel close Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edV3yRLEzWs Great work dude perfect set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, now its time to attack on my RB300 . Theres a big jump to that gripper, i think i will use those "smooth out negatives" in getting the strenght to hold that gripper shut and then start focusing on speed again so i can make a fast close from parallel. Need to build more strenght for a while now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you set up your speed work? Your gripper closes are fast. Congratulations on the double hand MM0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you set up your speed work? Your gripper closes are fast. Congratulations on the double hand MM0. Thanks, though the left hand close was a fail, will try to film it again maybe this week with a better camera . For the speed i have used a gripper that i can close but is near my maximum, i set the gripper at parallel and pause for a sec and then try to close the gripper as fast as possible and when the handles touch hold them closed for maybe 1-2 sec and then let the handles open, then after few minutes i do another one. I stop when i feel my closing speed starts to drop significantly. Problem now is that i can get many fast and easy singles with my coc3 but cant get a single rep with my rb300 not even from a deep set, so i think i will now try to work with forced closes and negatives with my rb300, when i can get 1 single rep from parallel i will work with that gripper for singles until i can manage to get fast closes with it and then move on to my coc3.5 which is only a little harder than my rb300. I can almost hold the handles together when forcing the handles shut with assistance, i think that at the end of this month i may get 1 single from parallel with my rb300 if all goes well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to buy one gripper that would fit in between those but i will try the forced close negative way for a couple of weeks and then might buy one if i feel i need a lighter one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 That was a wide set for off hand also, great job. How far are you from CCS with your right hand? That cert shouldn't be that far off for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cert shouldn't be that far off for you. Thanks Stephen, I haven't tried a CCS since probably last Feb or March, back then I was probably 1/4'' or less away, I'll give it a shot next tuesday and try to get a video. Have you been training gripper any lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been training gripper any lately? Yeah you could probably smash it right now, it honestly wont take long for your offhand to do it also that was a nice wide paused set. I haven't really done much of any gripper training since the last contest I did didn't have it but I should work it more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Sharkey Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 I think that was closer than 1/4". Set took a while too, bet if it was quicker you would have crushed it. Looking strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
