Vinnie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 tracking says tomorrow. So yesterday I was on my first date since getting separated, and the gal is very interested in the grip stuff and had asked me to bring grippers. So I brought trainer, COC 2, Tetting rated 140, and COC 3 rated 160 (biggest I have ever closed), to show her the variety. Without warming up beyond a few reps on the trainer and the 2, I did a quick rep for her on the 140 and it was really easy, so I figured what the heck. Closed the 160 just like that with no chalk. Must have been my strongest day yet -- I knew I shouldn't push it since I'd be attempting the cert Monday, but I was amazed how good I felt. I told her she has to come to my attempt so I get that energy again! So I am feeling pretty pumped and optimistic, but you never know, I'm humble to the fact that MM2 is no cakewalk and anything can happen. BTW - date gal just about closed the trainer, with bad form. I think she could do it easily with a few minutes practice. Not bad. Guys, we need to find more gals like this, she is super impressed by grip stuff and here I thought it was the geek end of strength training. lol. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 MM2 has arrived! The attempt will take place at Anton's around 7pm tonight. Provided all goes well, I will submit vid shortly thereafter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely in that range, just as it is reputed to be, but I suspect I should refrain from saying too much until after the judging is done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it is a little hard to know exactly what to say because I never did them on the same day. I warmed up with someone else's grippers, and my last close warming up before doing the cert was a 156 COC 3. The MM2 felt harder than that, but I am not sure whether it was harder than the 160 COC 3 I have been closing lately. It might have been, because I got the COC 3 for a double, and I don't think I could have doubled the MM2 (if I could have, it would have been on that first close, but I wanted to have two more good attempts so I didn't go for the show lol). But again, different days. Also, I unexpectedly cut my thumb opening the box, and that messed me up a little in the head. Not sure if it affected my closes. Bottom line: the MM2 must be somewhere around 160, but could be a few pounds more, probably not much less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
