Guest simon lodge Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Hi Tom I dont no if you remember, i wrote to you before i was saying i was having trouble in getting that last bit on closing # 2, You advised me to have a break from the grippers I am pleased to say your advice was spot on, it helped me to finally get that # 2 closed. ive also got # 3 ready to start training on but it feels as if that is going to be a different story all together. Thanks again for your good advice. simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Yes I remember Simon, and I remember my advice because rest breaks have always worked for me in the past. I need to take my own advice to get the last little bit of the #3. I think I recommended that you take 2 weeks off and during that time do active recovery by doing 5 reps with the Trainer every other day. For the #3 I’m probably going to do both the Trainer and the #1 during my active rest cycle. Congratulations on closing the Number 2. Now try to add some reps and timed holds. When you get to about 3 reps you will probably be able to do strapholds. Keep on progressing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simon lodge Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Tom Thanks Ive managed to close # 2 fully twice and on the third time i got it to a gnat's hair away from being closed so as you are saying when i can do three fully closed i will start doing strap holds. simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simon lodge Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Badkarma67 Hi mate, as we have closed # 2 within a couple of days of each other, I think we should keep in touch to see who closes #3 first. It will be good to know there is someone out there to compete against. simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
