Nuttgens Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 8 hours ago, Hopefully said: Hello Nuttgens, Just a thought now, it seems you have been at this level for a while now, perhaps it's time to tweak your programming a little bit to spark some new progress? Or are there other variables such as work that gets in the way? Or what do you think? I'm just saying because it's easy getting stuck in what has worked at one time, it's difficult turning away from that. But perhaps I'm wrong. Yeah I’m thinking I’ll switch stuff up a bit. Might try doing one day tns and one day mms or something like that for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent for finger strength and you get way more extensor work out of them. They will help your grippers thumbless. Its the the same postition as the full close of a grippers. Once you get half way yiu have to really squeeze or the bar drops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how you can tns 141 but can't ccs the #3 My 3 is not rated but I would imagine it is atleast 150 so a bit harder. When I miss my 3 is is only just barely I will be closing it soon I hope.

(~4-5%) Guess its handsize dependant. Nice work! My guess would be that smaller hands make the CCS closer in difficulty to TNS. My hands are 7.5, and my best TNS to date on a COC was a hard 2.5 rated 134 and on a RB (narrower spread) was one rated 138 -- while my best CCS close on a COC was my 3 rated 143 (have never been able to CCS my 145, 150, 153). And the CCS on 143 was harder for me than the TNS on 134. So that's only about a 5 per cent spread also. I am also getting interested in doing some more CCS because I am wondering whether I can try the Ironmind cert before they go back to live, it would be less imposing on others to take the risk of failure if it's just by mail and vid ... Is TNS training something people have found especially helpful for CCS closes? I would think it should be, but also the mechanics of the CCS close I think could be huge. I think I lose a bit because I have to hold it longer while I make sure I did the card right, and if I got quicker and more accurate with the card, I might have more left for the close. Also wondering: is it advantageous to get a deep MMS or deeper set first and then open up to pass the card, or just set it to the card's width quickly to begin with? I guess the deeper initial set would give you a better grip on the handles and might add some psychological advantage, but might it also sap you a bit having to hold the half close longer to insert the card? I think I am not ready just yet anyway, but I am thinking that getting better form might get me as much closer as getting stronger. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not the best person to give advice I’m pretty new. This is my first time doing TNS right now my plan is to do one day TNS and one day mms/ a little wider then if I can get my numbers up in those attempt some ccs again. Been mostly doing all ccs since I started so just switching it up a bit for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuttgens Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Hopefully said: For me best tns is 120ish (not rated so I don't really know) and best ccs is the same as yours. Same hand size too! I would think the best ccs training is doing ccs style closes but skipping the pause and do it explosively instead. At least for me tns is a way too different thing.. Some people swear by that technique, setting it deeper first and letting it out, supposedly adding alot of strength for them. For me it takes away alot and I am much weaker that way, I think it's the same for @Cannon as well. I recall Teemu also used that technique and he has smaller hands than us, so can't be related to that. I'm not sure what the difference is I do set it tighter than ccs and open it but it’s not very much. also I’m pretty sure my hand size is 8” Edited March 19, 2021 by Nuttgens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 23 hours ago, Hopefully said: Yeah I set it to the right width immediately, feels best that way. Also my "window" for a good set with ccs is so narrow so I need to hit it just right, and setting it deeper messes that Up.. Agree. If i set a gripper deeply I basically cannot let it out to CCS width and keep my ring/pinkie on the handle. I have to set it to the right width and try to keep going from there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so that's kind of reason why credit card close can be a bit tougher for some just cuz it can slip back into your palm when you're trying to show the width. I found chalk to help keep it in place somewhat and I don't personally do this but if you have a wire brush you can clean the chalk out of your knurling so its easier contact with the chalk more friction etc. If your hands are big enough where you feel comfortable tnsing then for sure try to practice it when you can it will make you so much stronger in doing ccs closes they will feel like nothing to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is exactly my plan right now. Try to get my TNS stronger for a bit then see how my ccs feels after. Also going to work on my mms stuff at the same time. Basically just going to take a break from ccs for a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
