Next gripper I'll consider is the iron adjustable gripper @Cannonsells, when available over course. If I want each setting rated, would I have to purchase 4 ratings for each adjustment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rgc is 122 (thanks @Cannon) I've almost closed the exact same gripper, a 122 CoC 2.5 from CPW. Only difference, I weigh 195 lbs, compared to your 130 lbs. That's bonkers - you are virtually closing at bodyweight. You should feel very proud, dude. Keep it up. You and @Tiziano Becchio are around the same weight, I believe. Would love to see both of you cert the 3. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not have to do them in any order. You just contact IronMind about the level you want to certify. They will ask for proof you are ready for certification which--others have reported--amounts to performing an unofficial cert to their satisfaction. So if you want to go straight for the #3.5 then you need to show them a #3.5 close with the credit card where the swipe was controlled and deliberate and not rushed. The best thing to do is start by contacting them. They will give you their instructions. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use chalk when I train; sometimes if I just have a gripper or two with me and I'm not doing an actual workout, I will just do them a little without chalk because they are there and I feel like it, or I'm showing them to friends or something. I think chalk does pretty much what it is supposed to do, by giving your hand more traction on the gripper so it doesn't slip as much and you feel more in control of the close. Obviously working hard with or without chalk, you will still improve, but you will likely find that your closes with chalk tend to be a little better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even start with the COC 4, if you wanted, for COC certs, although there would be no real reason to do the 3 if you did the 3.5. Same with GHP7-10. The cert where you have to go in order is the Mash Monster, where you have to start with MM1 and do each successive one in order before the next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashmonster268 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 22 hours ago, Tiziano Becchio said: i did 86.5 kg but i am recovering from an injury This is exactly why you'll hear many of us "old timers" recommend going ahead and doing the #3 cert. Then the #3.5. Then eventually the #4 if your hands don't disintegrate into dust. One day you're closing big grippers and a month later - if the injury is bad enough, you'll wish you had done the cert when you were physically able. I think you are still young enough that you'll recover from this injury. And probably a few more along the way. But the harsh reality is that time and injuries slow us all down. So get it while the getting is good. Seize the day. All that stuff. Edited April 3 by Mashmonster268 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
