 Wow, your gripper set is super wide! Must be more than GHP set block... 🧐

Yeah I’m trying to get into credit card set territory soon.

Today’s training 

squat a single with 315lbs then 4 sets 5 reps 275lbs

hip thrust 3 sets 8 reps 275lbs

GHR 3 sets 9 reps 

DB box step ups 3 sets 8 reps 45lbs

ab wheel 4 sets 25 reps

also joined Reddit and tried the monthly challenge. It was max axle, pinch and gripper 

didn’t quite lock out 275 on the deadlift with fat gripz then did 265.

Two hand pinched 2x45lbs plates didn’t have anything else to try to pinch 

Closed my ghp7 and my coc 3 with a wood 2x4 block so 1.5” set. Video sucks on the 3.

Also today was my first time ever closing my GHP7 left handed it was mms set.

I think I’m still a ways away from that. My GHP7 is a little easier than my coc 3. I don’t think I can ccs my 3 right now. Plus none of my grippers are rated so I don’t really know where they land would hate to get a hard 3 when trying to cert and miss it. I think I would want to be able to get a couple reps on my 3 before even trying. Would also be nice to know if my 3 is an easier one or harder one but I think if I can crush my 3 for a couple reps I’ll be fine not sure if I’ll ever get it rated.

Strong CCS close on the GHP7!  How much harder does your #3 feel?  I don't know if you have them RGC rated.

Thanks, I do not have them rated and it isn’t much of a difference when I was first closing my 7 I was about 1mm from closing my coc 3 didn’t take long to get my 3 after my 7. Seems like the last millimetre is a lot tougher on my 3 than my 7 though. Once I get a few ccs closes in a row on my 7 and I know it wasn’t a fluke haha I’ll probably give my 3 a try. 
 

I try not to do to many attempts on my max grippers because when I first closed my 7 my workouts turned into just trying to mash my ghp7 and my coc 3 set after set. The whole workout would consist of 6 or 7 reps where I failed atleast half of them and that’s when my progress stalled maybe even when backwards. 
 

For now just one or two sets with either my 7 or my 3 per workout so I can still get lots of “work” in with my 2.5. Once I can consistently get reps with my heavier gripper I will probably start doing more work sets with them. So far this has kept me progressing so I plan on sticking with it atleast for now.

Just realized most of what I typed didn’t have anything to do with your question. Sorry for the long read haha.

How often do you train grippers a week? Still 2 to 3 times?

spent the last two full days on a grinder and my hands were killing me before this workout so I knew it wasn’t going to go very good. Also took it a bit easy so my hands can recover for next workout.
