gripwork 12/31/03

Happy New Years!

Messing around before the following grip workout, I did the following:

Several closes of the trainer, #1, and #2... including 2 reps with the #2

Several overcrushes with the #3 (I hope I am using the proper word here, I am squeezing the gripper as hard as I can, although I cannot close it.)

Here is where the real work begins... as always, no chalk, sitting at my desk, snowball gripper and jelly-silicone gripper as active rest between sets.

Each line is an immediate no-rest set, I simply superset with the next gripper. A new line in a set means approx 30 seconds-1 minute of rest.

I am training like this after seeing the logs of successful COC closers. I cannot currently get KTA, but it may be an option down the road... Training like this really really hurts.
