bigbuffdan Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Immediately after coming home from school my mom told me that my things from ironmind had arrived. Today being the first day of our christmas break I decided to skip homework and hang with friends, but first my coc's were calling my name. I have tried to close the #1 before, but I did it completely wrong. Instead of using my other hand to set it to about 1.5 inches away from close I would attempt to grip it without my other hand setting it. (I noticed this from the videos on this web site for certifications) I can't wait until tommorrow when I will do my first grip workout.....(eyes glazed over looking at COC gripps and drooling profusley on the keyboard) I just want to thank everyone for my annoying questions and helping me in stryving for world renound grip strength.

Clay Edgin Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 It's not shit dude. TONS of people can't close the #1. Just take it to school and let your teachers and friends try it. By the time you figure out that anyone who can close the #1 is on the right track, you'll be closing in on the #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 We've been duped. The title of your thread said that you BLASTED (frickin' blasted is the term you use) your #1.... I then read your post and you then say you haven't closed it. What's up newbie??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Man Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 (edited) ya very true, i couldn't come near of closing the #1 first try. Edited December 20, 2003 by Strong Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Your doin' fine. Just keep squeezing and work on technique.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuffdan Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 I think you are mistaken sir, I did close it, but before I didnt know the form. Maybe I over reacted when I said I blasted it, but how did you feel when you crushed your first gripper? I mean Im only 15 so I feel good that I can close it, but when I asked my dad to try he couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 If you're closing the #1.... you've got a better grip than most guys IMHO. Most average people can't do anything with the #1; they can't close it. First time I touched my IM grippers - I closed the Trainer and the #1 right from the get-go.

Razorman Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Give the guy a break, Snott. He can't no-set close it but can grind the handles once properly set. He's happy with his initial PR. I know Dan. He's 15, and does not yet have significant body or hand size. Ya gotta start somewhere. Way to go, Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33wes Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Nice job, Dan. Sounds like you've got a future ahead of you in the grip department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kmshinn Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Watching people fail at closing the #1 makes me appreciate the effort required to close the #3 and #4. Congratulations on closing the #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuffdan Posted December 20, 2003 Author Share Posted December 20, 2003 thanks guys, after set closing the #1 consistantly I will close it without setting it. Btw I bent some 12d 3 & 1/4 inch nails last night. 4 in a row just for kicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
