What have you been finding success with most lately for gripper training? I sure will! I am trying to train around 4-6 sets of 1 to 5 reps and then 1 or 3 singles with my goal gripper. When the first working set feels good I will to the 1-3 singles with my goal gripper before switching back to my working sets. It is kind of the type of workout that @dubyagrip posted on his youtube channel. Last october I was able to ccs close my #3 gripper. Due to a very bad back injury I did not train for two months and I lost a lot of strenght. Now I am trying to regain my strenght. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't training with a gripper that is slightly harder than your goal gripper, I would encourage getting one and doing choked or deep set attempts with it on your training days. Cheat it closed with your free hand if you can't get it. This will make you stronger, and it will make your goal gripper easier. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteinWillems1 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 I really have the feeling that I have to train more parallel and 20 to 38 block set reps. Like @Vinnie told me a long time ago. Maybe it is a stupid question but can anyone explain why these rep are so important to build solid crushing power? Is it because of the constant tension? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be completely wrong but If I had to guess it’s to build strength in that ROM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the end range is the hardest part of the range of motion so you're basically mastering the entire end range. Also Nathan holle calls his CCS day a "practice day" which implies that you only have to practice CCS training once a week or so and that the strength building happens in the parallel to 38mm range.

C8Myotome Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Because the end range is where the gripper is the heaviest. It is also important to spend time where it is heaviest and not just tap the handles & open them up, because that's missing out on a lot of strength gains from actually using the heaviest part, & learning how to be in control of it. If you're not able to control training grippers there, there's no way you'll have any control over heavier grippers. I like the 38 mm block because then it's not much differnet to go in either direction wider or smaller from it, and my main goal certs use 38 mm block. If you're unsure about volume or just guessing at what to do, I highly recommend the cadence based training program, it's what I use, & there is freedom to tailor some parts to suit your style more, while following the majority of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I highly recommend any product/service Jedd Johnson puts out. Well worth the money If you are serious about grip.

Like @Vinnie told me a long time ago. Maybe it is a stupid question but can anyone explain why these rep are so important to build solid crushing power? Is it because of the constant tension? It's because you overload. MMS has a higher strength ceiling. Because you're overloading your system (compared to if you only do wide set). So your CNS and muscles adapts to higher load. You still need to train wider set if you want to be good at that. But working with higher loads enables you to get stronger when you start practice with wider set again. How big the strength difference between MMS and CCS is depends on the individual and how you train. Most people who can MMS close a #3.5 can CCS close a #3 without training CCS, as long as the grippers are in the same range for each level. There is also another aspect to MMS training that I never see people talk about. That is that you actually get sweep training when you set a gripper. Every time you set a gripper for MMS, you're fingerwalking the handle and that makes your open hand strength a workout. If you do this a lot (many sets) it will improve your sweep strength also. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteinWillems1 Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 Had a good session today. I bought two grippers, one #2.5 rated at 126 and a HG 300 rated at 139. Love the rated grippers, they really make tracking progress a lot easier. I tested where I was and I did 8 reps ccs with the rated #2.5. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that ~21/26 or so grippers that I own are rated. I don’t buy non-rated grippers anymore, and I’m thinking about sending in the few that aren’t rated for CPW’s rate-and-return, even though they’re just warmup grippers (CoC 1, GHP4, etc.). All rated grippers plus a CPW bumper and you can really hone the progressive overload and overall progress of your workouts. It at least helps me immensely mentally. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
