NC's Both Hands 325 (2,8,12) these felt better and under control again Ponies 10 each hand..varied from large to small ponies 25 Powerwebs Extensors 50 Ball Rotations Notes: Great Day for me...I am pleased with the results..always good to set PR's even if not with dominant hand!! Second day back from overtraining. Hands were very sore going into this workout...seems as i did more and the hands warmed up I got stronger. This isn't the first time this has happened. Maybe because my hands are so sore all the time they need the warmup. Hope this gets better as I get more accustomed to gripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This workout was done with athletic tape on both hands because of injury to right palm ...and near injury to left. It was inhibiting at least..tape kept sliding on the harder efforts and was shredding...strings hanging...looked cool but man I had to retape the right hand twice. No further injury..right palm where callous ripped off still sore. Tried HG 300 on last GG attempt...surprised to miss by only a 1/4". It is close to my BBSM but a bit tougher...has 2 1/4" spread versus BBSM 2 3/4" spread. Great workout...Happy camper.

Meat Loaf Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 It wasn't muscle or might that got people up to the top of Mount Everest. It was DESIRE. Desire why we do the things we love to do and why we attempt the things we can not yet do. The first day you start getting weaker is the first day you let your desire start to die. And that goes for everything in life, not just grip. Paul, you better be closing the #3 soon pal. And take care of your hands. MEAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard of the movie "Passion of the Christ"...(don't want to bring up politics or religion)....Well...I have Passion of the Paul!!! I eat, sleep, and dwell on these grippers daily. I will MASTER them..not the other way around...not by a long shot. We choose who we serve...and who serves us..and the #3 will serve me. This I swear... You keep watching!!

DLK Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 To close the #3 before my birthday. I just started gripping and yesterday I tried a #3 for the first time and got it a little under 1/2" and to 1/4" in a choker set to par. I am 17 right now.

I am 17 right now. ← Wow, you are off to a good start and at an early age too...a bonus. If you are seeing that much difference from non choking to choking the gripper you may not be setting it right without the choker..or not setting it as deeply as the choker does for you. Before I injured my hand I got the same gap with or without the choker. Work on a deep set and a really explosive close, that may help and good luck with your goals.

DLK Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Oh. The reason it only got the #3 the 1st time to little under1/2" is because it was no set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
