Most thread sealers release around 500F or 250C. Can't get that with boiling water or a simple hair dryer, a nice heat gun could do it. If you're not already handy and possess a lot of tools it's probably not worth trying this since it's easy to injure the gripper or yourself.

They are glued with epoxy. Good luck getting the handles off with a hair dryer LMAO.

I had mine off with Makita 2000 W hair dryer (650 °C with max setting).

 

Tried out the gripper tonight and it turns out to be exactly the tool I needed. Took the choker off, extended the handles by 5 mm each and did a few single closes.

The wider spread also serves well my new obsession: becoming better at setting a gripper.

Yes, that's exactly why I said a hair dryer would not work.

Apparently you are both wrong though 

A heat gun is not a hair dryer. Hair dryer can maybe get 150f if its super powerful. Heat guns are in the range of 500f to 1000f, and easily remove most glues and epoxies.

By "Makita 2000 W hair dryer" I mean a heat gun.

Haha. I think that would be little too much. Even after sauna. 😆

Pretty strong workout. I'm really happy I decided to install chokers to my hardest #3 gripper.

I will be working with the choked one for the next couple of months and see where it takes me.

Only one hard workout with grippers / 5 - 8 days and additionally gripper setting training on separate day.

Longer recovery time seems to help me dealing with the #3. I was well recovered and felt very strong today. There was total absence of the usual pain I have on hands while crushing heavier grippers.

I'm serious about hunting down the #3 this year. The only other strength training I'm currently doing are the dead snatches or clean & press during gripper workouts. They serve well for warm up and waking up the CNS.

Really struggled with left hand. I had pretty nasty stiffness in my left shoulder / neck / throat area and I know it messes with my nerves and affects grip strength. I tried to soften it up before and during the workout, but apparently it didn't help this time.

Right side was OK, but not strong by any means. Anyway I had every rep all the way closed, so I'm happy with RH performance.

Opened up the choker from 20 mm ---> 25 mm and started easily with handles extended 3 / 3 mm for the first close and 1 / 1 mm for the second. Felt strong so decided to move the handles as deep as possible and it was still easy. This kind of progression seems to work and now I can close the choked #3 gripper with one smooth squeese instead of pumping it deeper and deeper. Six more choker workouts left before I will attempt to close #3 with MMS.

Realized I don't have any grippers that I fear to use anymore. Haven't had for a long time. So I placed an order and the situation is about to get back to normal.

Ordered a couple of #3,5 and the #4. Can't wait to give them a tour in the workshop and get them modified with chokers and adjustable handle mounts.

Also got a Guide for thumb training. IMTUGs doesn't really impress me. They should arrive next week.

Handles extended by 5 millimeters with choked #3,5 was an absolute maximum for today. Couldn't have done anything heavier.

I really like the choker training and it clearly gives me something. The warmup close with #2,5 felt ridiculously easy. Almost like nothing.

As you can see from the picture, the choker uniballs gives some extra leverage. The close would be harder with hose clamp choker near the spring. Anyway this is just another training method, so I don't care about it too much.

 

These five days rests I'm having between gripper sessions without practically any other excercises makes these workouts pretty intense.

Guide and spring clamps for thumbs. Different angles, 5 sets of 5 reps.

 

Did one more heavy close with right hand than last time. Also adjusted the handles a little shorter to get some progression.

The 2nd attempt with #3,5 was missed mainly due to not having any rest after CNS awakener, kettlebell dead snathces.

Not very strong workout, wasn't recovered from last saturdays mountain biking trip.

Struggled with setting the gripper for left hand. One more choker session to go before attempting the #3.

During warmup I did a double set on a light gripper and it just felt perfect. Didn't plan to do it, just did it. I think I've been watching many enough videos from one grip specialist from UK. I used the same technique on every non-choked attempt and I'm pretty sure it will be the new standard way to set a gripper for me. Gives a lot for MMS close. It makes easier to achieve an optimal positioning for the gripper handle / each finger.

Left hand was weak again as expected, but it doesn't bother me. This was the last choked gripper session for now. Next workout will probably include explosive singles with lighter grippers. Around midsummer day I will attack the #3 and make it suffer :devil.

I really have been missing other exercises than just grippers. But these last 10 sessions I've done in past couple of months coudn't have been possible to perform with such heavy grippers if I wouldn't have rested like I did and being training like I normally do. I believe being well rested and using heavier grippers allowed me to do higher quality workouts and obtain more.

Grippers:

Had a light workout. Mainly focusing on setting the grippers with this "double set", trying to set as deep as possible and with optimal positioning.

Also tried to find out how to film a good video of closing a gripper. Might be necessary skill some day, but didn't get good at it.

Finished with few explosive closes.

 

Forearms are full of tight spots and aches. Have to loosen them up this weekend.

Setting between legs allows me to perform full closes with heavier springs than without cheat set. I will continue doing these for the next few sessions and concentrate on getting the grippers closed all the way.  It doesn't do any good for my setting strength, but I try to improve that with extra focus on set with every lighter gripper I use. Still practising the 2-phase set and it's definately better than my old method.

The adjustable #3 have turned out to be extremely valuable tool. The handles extended only by 4 mm each makes a high enough difference for me.

Also doing the overcrush three or four minutes before any heavy attempt feels to help a lot. It kind of sets my CNS on ready to go state.

Lots of misses with right hand heavy attempts. Anyway they seem to be very productive when done alternately with lighter gripper overcrushes.

I managed to get a decent recording of my first GHP7 close and got the Mash Monster level 0 certification. Now I will work my way to close the same gripper with GHP set block and take part in GHP gripper challenge. Another short term goal is to get one of my COC#3s closed with MMS.

- #2,5; cheat set: 1

 

+ clamp for thumb: 5 + 5 (x 5 sets)

 

Also tried out Ironmind Hub and Rolling Thunder with some light weights between gripper attempts. I haven't touched either of them for over two years. It would be interesting to try and see if improved crushing strength correlates to these lifts at all. I would really like to start training seriously with rolling thunder, but I don't want to mess with my crushing strength. I probably focus on grippers with right hand and start to lift thick bars and other handles with left.

It's fun to finally do something else grip related than only grippers. I will continue doing Rolling thunder with left and only grippers with right hand. The feeling during and after workout is quite different in left and right arm. Rolling thunder causes me some pain and aches in arm and hand, but it's probably due to my hand is not accustomed with the impelent yet.
