GrassMaine89 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I wanted to start this based off of the success of the Race to MM0 thread...I know there are some guys like EJ and KingCrusher who can and will smoke it right now....however I would like to extend a friendly challenge to the newer MM0's and future MM0's (Chops, JoshW, and others I don't even know) to race for the more standardized challenge of the MM1....anybody want to formally accept the challenge? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbe705 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'll get in on this for my off hand. I need to look back and see if I need to do an MM0 for my off hand first though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbe705 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 right now I'm doing jedd's Cadence based gripper training. so, I've been doing more reps and holds than max work. I started off a bit low on it and had to adjust up. I'll be running that till gripmas then after the comp I'll test. close to that anyway. depending on how the days fall I might test the week before gripmas. I would guess I'm about low 150's left handed. after gripmas I'll submit an MM0 off hand. And I won't do my MM1 off hand until I can do a double cert with Josh Henze. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I did a gripper workout today...it was awful...going to back off of volume and add in wrist work and see if that doesn't help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'll jump in. This April I did the MM0 with a 156 #3 but stopped grippers shortly after that to train for King Kong. Last night I gave it a go to see where I'm at and a 140 Grand Master gave me all sorts of trouble. Guess lets see how long it takes me to get back to where I left off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortes mãos Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm down how does this work? Don't you have to get on the list to attempt it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) You need to cert mm0 first. AND then message wannagrip or Wright in the mm1 thread that u desire to cert mm1. Edited November 10, 2014 by PeterSweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortes mãos Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Already got my MMO. Just need to train it before I get on the list to attempt MM1. So I will start strict training and hopefully can get it by the beginning of next year. Thanks for the info.

Chops Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 New PR of 147 a couple days ago. Haven't been able to duplicate it yet. Looking forward to MM1, does everyone agree that it is about 153# or so? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
