Guest simon lodge Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Hi all I spoke to Heath Sexton and from his advice iv managed to fully close my BBM know lets go for No 3 as it seems if i keep my reps down it seems to work for me.

Sybersnott Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 simon, Forget the reps!!! Just concentrate on the "crush". Squeeze that gripper and hold it closed for as long as you can (this is called a "timed hold"). Throw away that rep nonsense! Remember: squeeze and hold - squeeze and hold - squeeze and hold....

Guest kINGPIN Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Simon, As I have told Snott before, I only use reps as a marker, the real progress with me comes from the timed holds. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat 74 Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Congrats Simon, glad I could help. Now, on to the #3!! I don't think he said anything about doing a lot of reps, he said keep them low. Nothing wrong with doubles, I do some myself from time to time. You are right, timeholds and strapholds are a key ingredient, but remember......different strokes for different folks. I've done fairly well doing bascially no negatives, until recently, and I don't own a plateloaded machine. I did do force closes and holds, but holding a gripper for 1/2" is hardly a negative. I also do grippers everyday, and I have for awhile. (Edited by Bearcat 74 at 9:48 pm on Oct. 17, 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simon lodge Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Thanks for your replies, Bearcat74,Sybersnott,Kingpin At the moment im closing my No3 down as far as i can with one hand which is around 1/4 inch then helping it to fully close with two hands then hold on for as long as i can also im doing plate loader but i think its the holding the gripper shut is helping me just a touch more than the plate loader .
