Ray Hansford Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hi Guys!! Im so pumped right now Got my grippers 5 days ago, can close the #1 every time but could only get the #2 a little past parallel. Today tried the #2 and got it to 5mm apart!! (measured by my wife) Training wise, Ive been doing reps with the #1 and holds and negatives with the #2 (I must be doing something right) Got very sore skin but just taped my hands and keeped going. Hopefully I will close the #2 soon and then on to the #3! Thanks to all for the info on this site Regards Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumnorix Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Good work!! It took me quite a while to get that far. Take it from me, it is easy to overtrain when you first get them, so if you get sore, rest for awhile. The last 1/2mm is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas straub Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 You should do penny stack strap holds with the #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryg Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 You should do penny stack strap holds with the #2. Please explain!I never heard of this.Thanks,Gerry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas straub Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 It's were you get pennies and tape them up on to your strap, so its thicker, then just do your normal strap hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 The penny stack strap holds have really help me with closing my #2. Im about paper thin on a good attemp, and hope to have it mashed within the next week or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
python Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I am also paper thin now with closing the number 2 with my right hand. Although I am not working it real consistent I do it enough to maintain where I am. Soon I will close it but in no hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
