Lennix Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just now, bruce1337 said: That filed 3.5 was so close! In a week or two it will be closes for sure. Amazing gripper progress Could be up to 4-6 weeks those last mm are nasty stuff! Good thing is i haven't worked any BTR so hopefully it makes my normal closes easier. Hard to say if I made any progress TBH, the 188 is just a number. Doesn't feel like this gripper is close to 188 att all. It feels easier then my #3.5 rated 171.. But perhaps I was just superstrong yesterday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting to think ratings are a little overrated. Seems like the sweep makes all the difference. A strong sweep 171 might feel harder than an easy sweep 188. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the sweep makes all the difference. A strong sweep 171 might feel harder than an easy sweep 188. One evidence of the 188 not being so hard was that I actually set a PR on the backdowns. I did 2 attempts on the #188 and 1 attempt on the 210+ mutant. When I previously did 4 attempts on 171 I couldnt do any reps with GHP8 after. This time I could do 2x2 on the GHP8.. Yeah I'm not so sure about how to use ratings since the feeling of the gripper varies so much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 IMO you can’t compare ratings with grippers that are filed and/or have a very narrow spread. A gripper with narrow spread can have a very high rating compared to how it actually feels. Same goes for filed grippers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennix Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 5 hours ago, Hopefully said: A filed gripper is still the same as it was before filing. Only the very last range is different. And so if the gripper was easy to you before, you'd be able to power through the filed range. I think the effectiveness of filing is vastly overrated. Tbh I'm unsure if it has any benefit at all I have read studies of BTR that shows that it does work. But yeah hard to translate to grippers etc. My thought are that if I can close 178 but I have trouble with the last mm perhaps I can get work/holds in where I am weaker and also learn how to finish the gripper better. For example to get full power in soccer you don't kick the ball, you kick through the ball (same in boxing etc) so perhaps I can get value there, who knows!

Lennix Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) 11 hours ago, Hopefully said: Yeah, the logic is sound. But at least in my own experience I haven't really experienced any benefit. And I have used btr extensively a couple of times. One time I used it alot, and when I changed to regular grippers I found that my ability to produce maximum force shifted further back in the hand. So say I trained with a 140lbs filed gripper, then changed to a regular gripper with the same rating or a little bit lower, then I found that I actually felt weaker at the close with the regular gripper. Because while the filed gripper was 140 at the close, maybe it was 130ish where a regular gripper would close. So when using an unfiled gripper with the same rating, my hand would expect 130 at the close but the gripper is now 140 lbs at the close, so it felt weak. Like I was unconditioned in that particular range of motion. But hey, a lot of People swears by it so it is probably something wrong with me We will see, I will continue the training with this 188 and then see where I'm at with the non-filed after! I actually got my hope's up to be able to cert the #3.5 some day Edited December 3, 2020 by Lennix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
