Paul Savage 873 Posted June 22 Had a few people asking me where I'm at on the #4 CCS these days but truth is I haven't (hadn't now) done grippers in forever, had too much else on but I guess this is where I'm at. Not the best attempt, didn't have it in the right place but again it's been a while. #3 reps went a bit better. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viceversus 46 Posted June 23 Really an amazing effort. Great technique with a lot of horsepower. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You definetly put on a great performance. Looks like you can get back to near peak within a reletively short period which is a great sign if you want to have another go. If anything you can have a good time climbing the MM ladder. You of course have nothing to prove but it would be cool to see your name amongst the top of some of these lists because its well deserved and your a monster at crushing grippers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, yeah I've been doing a lot of grip intensive manual labour, and also a fair bit of double overhand deadlifts in the gym so it makes sense to have a good starting point back. Just feel a bit weak in the sweep which is probably due to tendon damage in the arms (have tennis elbow in both arms due to the manual labour), I need to start icing them regularly. I don't have any interest in the mash monster certs personally but will try and see if I can put a plan together for another crack at the #4 CCS. I'm a bit limited on what I can do with the tendon issues though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add in 60 rep squats every day for a year. That'll get you there for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
