Lennix Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 That's almost a Ronnie Coleman set! Strong close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Nice, yes with better set you could probably do reps with at least a #2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Young Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 4 hours ago, Hopefully said: You are holding the gripper way too high up in the hand, you would toy with that gripper if your polished your technique a little. That's how I prefer to close them. I get the full resistance out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you want to TNS/NS thats up to you but your technique for NS is abit off for maximum power 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's best to do maximum range of motion is instead of doing partials. I closed a coc #2.5 straight out the package first time back in 2014.

Thats not what I'm saying, you can use maximum range of motion (No-set) but with a better technique you could most likely be closing ghp6 instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just move on to ghp6 instead? Because I can't train grippers & bending at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can close a GHP 6. I just dont like cheating with my other hand just to do partials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further down the handles is much easier especially assisting with your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further down the handles is much easier especially assisting with your hand. I'm going to ignore the whole assisting with the other hands since no one is saying you have to do partial closes. Yes holding it further up the handles does make it harder which means it is not conducive to closing the highest level gripper. You do bending so you know it would be much harder to do a bend if your hands were very close together near the centerline of the bar. Does that mean it is cheating to hold near the edge of the bar? I'm guessing you'd say no and it is proper technique especially for the longer bars. Holding your hands near the bottom of the gripper is just using proper technique to close the largest grippers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Juncker Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Nice close man. On Wades site for the GHP grippers he seemed to indicate that the finger side knurling has the grooves so you can gauge how far up/down your hands are on the handle. You made the gripper a little harder to close by moving it farther up your hand and some people be like, "bro you're doing it wrong". In my case, I'm training TNS now for Gripmas and I have to move it little farther up my hand than I want to because my fingers are so short and my index and middle finger aren't strong enough to start the close.

Really only applies to DO bending. But you can bend almost hands touching with RS or DU but there are ways to make the bend much easier to hitting big bends. Either way I know it's not conductive to closing the heaviest gripper. My attentions aren't to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo dead lifting can be harder or easier depending on how strong your hip flexors are. They were much harder for me but I started training them. They became much easier than conventional.

Setting grippers is a variation not cheating.That was my point. Get your shit right or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
