iamsean11 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hey everyone. A few months ago I came back to the forum and grip training in general after a few year hiatus. Well, I am back into my groove, and committed to not only closing a COC3, but I want to cert on it by end of next summer. I will post my progress along the way, and hopefully a few videos as well. Anyone else who is fully committed to any big gripper challenges should also post here and make this a big motivational thread! More to come. Stay tuned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsean11 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Okay best attempt at a video. Warmed up a little and closed the coc2 and coc 2.5 a few times, then a grand master, followed by some shots at the coc3. https://youtu.be/V7EUiTjHS0M CoC3112816.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsean11 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Been out of town for work again... I think I am done traveling for a while, and I can finally get back into a routine. CHEZ, I will call you this week and structure a better routine. Couldn't get into a good groove tonight, but closed a GHP6 pretty easily.

iamsean11 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Okay, finally got in a solid workout that I feel pretty good about. I worked with an old buddy, Chez, on a routine that I am going to work on perfecting over the next few weeks as I find out which grippers suit my program best. Tonight's workout as follows, and this is for right hand, with a similar routine left handed, with slightly easier grippers. Sport x 20 Trainer x 12 CoC1 x 10 CoC1.5 x 3 CoC2 x 3 CoC2.5 x 1 first working rep CoC2.5 x 1 GM x 1 GHP6 x 1 240N x 1 (138) KingKong x 1 RB300N x 1 (miss) CoC3 x 1 (miss - close to same rating as RB300) 210 x 3 (missed third) SM x 3 (missed third) GHP5 x 3 Felt pretty good, and still worked on my sets, both hands. I was moving around a little because I am aligning my grippers based on difficultly again, as it has been years since I properly did this, so now is the perfect time. Next week will be more structured based on how I felt tonight. Chez, I will have that list for you in the next day or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Ya buddy. As soon as I get that list I will come up with a workout for you to try and we can tweak depending on how the first workout goes. You got this Sean! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey pburke23, I wasn't structured at all during my workouts, so I worked with a good friend, Chez, to put a more set routine into place. This will hopefully do two things: 1. Better track my progress week to week as I compare stats 2. Increase my one rep, and two rep endurance from repeated sets More to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, I felt pretty good. I think next week I can push harder, based off of my workout. Haven't done negatives in years, so that was a little tough to get used to, in terms of finding a level suitable for holds. I am going to do this for 5-6 more weeks, then try again at a rated #3 (150, and/or 152). ROCK AND ROLL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Brannstrom Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Awesome and fun thread to follow along!!! Saw you write something early on about AW-training? something you do regularly? I am asking out of curiosity due to me always having a hard time figuring out how to manage gripper-training (and/or reverse bending) while I also have AWtraining with the team 1-2times/week (mostly 1/week but then that AWsession will be a real doozy...like yesterdays practice...). All the best! /peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsean11 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hey guys took a few more days off but will hopefully get a grip workout in tonight. Here is a pic of my little set up of grippers. A few are missing because a buddy has been getting into it, but it's most of what I use anyways shown here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsean11 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hey ya'll, Just checking in. Still training, but I am not posting up my workouts or anything. Priorities are a bit wack right now. Hands are feeling healthy, progress is slow and steady, and looking forward to some nicer weather training. Over and out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
