JustinH Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I know on the Ironmind site it says:you need to be able to get about 20 - 25 reps with the previous gripper to get the next level up. I was wondering how many reps you guys were able to do with the #2 before you could close the #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I was only doing about 6 when I closed the #3. I hadn't been training all that much. Then all of a suddern I was closing the 3. I tried the #2 for reps at the time and did around 6. I would say my #2 ia average as is my #3. It's not like my 2 is super hard or my 3 is super easy.

JustinH Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 I am curious to know how close I would be, I'll be ordering my #3 within the next couple of days. My best full range reps on my #2 so far is 5, which I did today. I did 4 yesterday (Sunday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcham Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I can only close my #3 on a good day... and I've done 14 reps with my #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I did no rep training on my #2 at all when I closed my #3. I mostly did timed holds and negatives. It won't come down to reps when you close the #3, but strength - oh, and BTW I heard the new #3's are stinkin' tough!! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wood Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If you can get 20-25 full range reps on a 2 theres a pretty good chance you can close the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishred Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 well....i can close my #2 on occasion with my right hand. I can do about 10 reps or so with my #1. not sure if that helps...probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 well ive fallen off my grip alittle lately....but at my strongest i could do a bakers dozen with the 2 and get the 3 to 1/4 inch. i think my 3 is a beast. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I could get around 14 reps on mine. I doubt I can get 20-25 reps now and I can only get 11 no set reps at the end of my workout. I'd say my 02 #3 is about average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 see now i know my 3 is a mutant. cuz alot of you who can do a 3 do around what i can on a 2 (13) and last night i did 5 reps on the hg250. but 1/4 inch to go for the 3. damn i hate the 3. lol and i can no set the 2 and hg250 with little trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
