Paul Markowski Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Tonight, I decided to change things up a bit (just like I have always done with strength training) and it worked out pretty well. Instead of Frankenstein Night, I decided to go for a new personal best with a gripper that I never closed before. Just 2 days ago, I set a personal best with my dominant hand by closing the RB 210 gripper...tonight, I closed the GHP #6 with relative ease (as I was able to keep it shut for a few seconds after the close). Like Chez, I too at times have major "set" problems....to the extent that if I get a great "set", I close the gripper....if I don't get a good set, I fail miserably. Get this....tonight, my 1st attempt at closing the #6 failed (though I was within a paper width from closing it)...I knew that my set was "good" but not what I needed to close the gripper. Decided to give it one more shot on my second work set...this time, I KNEW that I was going to close it because the set that I managed to get this time (MM set) was simply perfect and as I was able to engulf those handles at parallel, I truly knew I was going to mash it...I sure did...and then some! Next: to certify on the Silvis Monster Hunter 4-Star Gripper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....the tough road to closing the Frankenstein at full "toughness" (1.5" from top of spring) has helped me both physically and psychologically.
