JJM 4 Posted September 20 (edited) March 12, 2004. Rough day for gripsters. I had a fun time reading this thread I ran into by accident. After 15 years, what do you think of the "new" rule. I personally love the rule. I bought my first gripper in 2014. It was COC #1 which I couldn't close but after one week when I figured out how to set it correctly for CCS close. For five years I've trained grippers almost only with credit card set and had my narrow-minded thought: "it's the CCS or no close". Yesterday was the first day in my life I decided to really try MMS and had a blast. I easily closed my heaviest #2.5 and had three good attempts with #3. I also closed the #2.5 with my off-hand. Using MMS is definately a strong asset in the journey towards closing the #3 with CCS. Edited September 20 by JJM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopefully 568 Posted September 20 Yeah mms is better to train with since you work with heavier loads. Ccs can be seen as skill work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fist of Fury 1,074 Posted September 20 I wasn't around when they made the change but I have always disliked the CCS rule and it's the main reason I don't care about IM certs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She has a worse set than ronnie coleman though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
