Billy Jack Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Nice work so far. I have no doubt you will close a #3 in the next few months. You have a goal and a solid plan that you are sticking to. I still love to watch these new training threads to rekindle the excitement of days past.

Cannon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 1 hour ago, DrLobsterHands said: Was hoping it might be a bit less. There definitely seems to be a huge gap between the 2 and 3! It could be a lot less. For me I could close the #2 for about 10 parallel reps when I closed a #2.5. However I closed a #3 with only getting to about 6 reps on the #2.5. BUT! I took a long time off from regular gripper training and am working back through the levels now. I'm only good for about 142 rating right now (a light #3) but can still rep the #2.5 for 4-5 reps. Soooooo, you'll just have to see is the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 11 hours ago, Hopefully said: Lets go for the #3 cert Sorry for hijacking your log for a minute @DrLobsterHands. In theory, I've always been interested in the #3 cert. However even when I was at my all-time peak of gripper strength (MMS close of a 164# Elite) I was not very close to a CCS on a average/hard #3. I mean like, maybe as much as a good 1/4" off. If I ever manage to build that kind of CCS strength, I'm definitely signing up. I've just never been within striking distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 50 minutes ago, DrLobsterHands said: My crazy idea is to build up to 15 x 15 reps in a day. Then switch to the #2 when I'm conditioned by all the brutal volume. By the way, can anyone advise me how to improve my set ? So glad to see you back at it regular! I’ve been doing sets of 15-20 with the #2 lately and I’m not consistently closing a 140 lbs #3 right now. Just a data point as you consider timing. Just search YouTube for “setting a gripper”. The first 8 results are all great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchapman Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 You should seriously consider doing Radical Reps Baseline Training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Pete Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Most people never close CoC#3. Those who make it probably works for it for a year or even years. You want to go from a beginner to close #3 in three months. WITHOUT training with heavy grippers. I have no idea. You might make it. But the mindset is just really strange to me. With a short term goal like that you cant really be scared of overtraining or injuries. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I just dont know if you understand what you are up against.

Cannon Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Plan your work and work your plan. I think you're making really quick progress, actually. We want to see you make your goal, but for gripper training in general, you're making steady good gains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
