Goran Paulinič Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Is there any definition for wide set? Is this any set wider than distance between parallel handles? I begin "wide set" so that pinky extends fully at the biggest angle between handles and other three fingers still have firm grip on a handle. Then during the close pinky joins and finish the close with other fingers. I am asking this because I am logging my workouts and am wishing to write down right thing. I was doing "mms" set for some months before I figured out it wasn't mms set and then I had to correct log. It was anoying. I want to be sure before it is too late again.

Goran Paulinič Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Well. It may be crucial when I will come back in future after long pause or (god please no) injury. I know now what works. I was doing "some set" (I forgot what I was doing) and thinking that it was MMS set. It wasn't. And it wasn't for at least one month. So I went back then and correct all workouts and instead mms I wrote "whatever." So I know now not to consider this part seriously. I was total noob.

bruce1337 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) TNS > CCS > Wide Set > MMS > Deep Set Like @Fist of Fury said, they are your logs, call em what you want. The definition only matter when going for a cert. But as a guide, a GHP blocks short end is MMS and long end is a Wide Set.

Goran Paulinič Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks. It is good to know what I am doing. It seems banal but when you fill half a year with wrong data then you begin to wonder: why am I logging anything in the first place?!

Goran Paulinič Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I never trained WS before seriously. I tried "something" here and there but for last half a year I am trainning MMS sets. I think I better begin to train WS because I am level #2.5 closer now and I am begining to flirt with the idea CCS Coc #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I really don't understand your question. You can call your workouts whatever you want. I can call my workout "$£{£dsjdjd" as long as I know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climber028 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Just measure whatever you think is a wide set, and then say that number so you can compare in the future. 2 inch, 3 icnh, 2.5 inch do whatever you want, even 5.76 centimeters if you're feeling adventurous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goran Paulinič Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) It is not so difficult. It doesn't matter what the string of characters are at that moment now. But memory isn't reliable instrument. That I know from experience. Im 45 years old after all and have seen many things and memory tricks in my life. After 5 years I wouldn't be able to know what 333454zz gripper move means probably. But if it is named "wide set" I will know more exactly what I was doing if I will learn it now.

So whats the problem, sorry but I still don't understand what you're asking about? If you write in your log: "3x5 wide set" how is that going to be a problem? EDIT: Are you asking about what the definition of a "wide set" is? In that case there is none. It's everything which is wider than parallel and is not measured by a block or card and is not a TNS or a NS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran Paulinič Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 You know, I began to think about it when I was continualy confronted with WS or "wide set" in different logs on this forum. People write down "wide set" then number of sets and reps and that's it. I wonder if they will know exactly what they were doing on a given day after two years? But now fog is cleared and I can go on in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now fog is cleared and I can go on in peace. The only way you can know for sure is to always measure with a block. If you didn't then all you need to do is write down "wide set", "MMS", "Parallel set". I'm sure most people know exactly what they're doing. I would be really surprised if anyone who has trained grip seriously don't know what to call their workouts. And it's not too important either, once you get in to certifications like the MM and such you also record what you do. I have houndreds of gripper videos. If I want to know what I did a certain date I will just browse my video archive. Everything that is not there was not important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you consider between a TNS and a CCS there's quite a gap there , tends to be where most of my training is from What stated as a wide set above is probably what i'd call a Pretty deep set, i prefer to be out a bit wider for more range of motion. but i do "wide" set 5x5's when i cant quite do 5 on my normal set.

CoC's i generally just get a nice curl and wrap around. HG also suit my left hand better they are more comfortable and dont give me bone breaking pain in the centre of my left hand like COC's do, i get somewhat frustrated with grippers that are set in a CCS spread , it's almost like i want that bit of extra bite back before i start the close to get my power down.
