pdoire Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) PR's Again...thank you God Warmups 25 Powerwebs Extensors 1 x HG150, 2 x HG200 Goal Gripper RH HG300 4 attempts ..CLOSED IT THREE TIMES..held it closed 3rd time for 3 secs!! Definite new PR!!...can't believe it.. Was in shock so rechoked the BBSM as last GG attempt and CLOSED IT again LH #2 clicked it x 3 times and held for 3 secs last time..PR !! missed 2 attempts 1/16, 1/8 OC's RH #2 10 secs...click and hold..felt easy LH HG 250 7-10 secs SH RH HG 250 15lbs...15-25 secs ...PR LH HG 200 15bs....6-12 secs PR NC's Both Hands 325 (2,8,12) Could almost hold it closed RH!!!! Ponies 10 each hand.. 25 Powerwebs Extensors 50 Ball Rotations Notes: HIT MY NEW KTA GOAL !!!!!!!! Again since 2 days ago!! HG300 was in choker too...set was closer to parallel than BBSM..making them close to equal..but even if difference is .1 or .2...2.7-2.9 Can I actually distinguish that? Strapholds are getting much easier and probably helping a great deal, this is my second week trying them. Yesterday was active R/R...doubled normal protein and milk ingestion...took 1 1/2 hour nap and slept 9 hours last night...Woke up feeling very strong but with sore knuckles. Afterwards, just for giggles...exhausted after this great workout, I tried my 2004 #3 without a choker and a set wider than parallel...missed by 3/8" It no longer feels like a brick...I now know I will close it too....in time. New Goal Gripper...the #3 IM 2004...I have no choice!! Edited December 10, 2004 by pdoire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Paul, great job on all the PRs! Have you closed your Cert SM (TNS) yet? I saw that you had closed it in a choker, which is excellent. Keep it up. I'm sure you'll slam that #3 in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'll slam that #3 in no time. ← Ben...thanks, I am not currently training no set...the MM0 cert and MM1 is more of a priority to me right now...I have no idea if I can no set it but think the answer is no. I want to work on the crush with a set..that seems to be rapidly improving as of late. Once I get past the first two certs mentioned and am going for COC with a credit card...that is when I will train no sets too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Paul, I know you had posted before that you were focusing on the MM and IM certs...I only asked about the TNS Cert because I thought maybe you were so hooked, like us all, that you were doing some surreptitious gripper work.

My sweep is very good...I want to work exclusively on crushing them down. I believe the no set part will be easier to catch up on for me IMHO. I really like this idea of specialization with KTA. I am totally focused, almost obsessed with it. Did I say almost obsessed???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are making my setting of the gripper exactly right a real hassle...handle sliding in palm. I did the 3/16 on the #3 when I firmly planted the doglegged handle into my palm..the other efforts are still sliding. Even with the tape on the palms there is still sliding..it is harder to feel. I have 2 weeks left of KTA and need to resolve this set...injury problem somehow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
