When I go all out I throw my body into the set and my hand goes all over the place for the close. My sister was my camera person for my previous MM certs and she was great at staying with my hand. My fiancee filmed this. She just needs some practice. Edited May 2, 2018 by Chez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be hitting some big grippers with you and the NYC crew this Saturday. Looks like perfect weather. I'll bring the #4 along. Thinking I'm going to try my 194 super elite for a triple though instead. I don't want to peak too early with Nationals in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So....you're basically saying the weather is also a factor in closing big grippers...hmmm no wonder I suck with the climate over here.

The NYC crew trains outside (an alley behind Anton's store. We are like a gang :))so weather is very important. I took a couple months off from going to the training sessions because of how cold it got during winter. My hands get dry and crack more in winter which isn't a good combination when doing heavy grippers closes.

If you can bring your 141 number 3, I could see if I can double or triple that (my best single is 149). I will also have my 150 for Anton and me to try; maybe the weather and the company will be the charm for that. And the IPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
