Bananafingers Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Well I had been a damn hair away from closing the 3 for probably a month now, and I was just hoping to get it done before the socal grip meetup on Dec 11. Buuut today I had my buddy Devin in town (Devlin on this board) and decided to give the 3 a go... and it went! I closed it again a few minutes later just to make sure it wasnt a fluke. I just had to get on here and tell somebody (answer your damn IM's, Porkbone! haha) Anyway I can't wait to move up the ladder even further!

Clay Edgin Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Nice work! When are you going to start filing it down to make it even harder? There are going to be a metric crapload of grippers for you to crush on at the gathering and we can get some good video. If I remember correctly, you train primarily no-sets right? So this #3 close was without a set. Even more impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananafingers Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Yeah I dont really get the set thing. It doesn't help me. I just kindof position the gripper in my hand and give it a slight squeeze with my other hand, if anything, which is what I did here. Far wider than the "credit card" rule. I think I'll rest a few days and ill try to do it without touching it with my left hand in any way. Nice work! When are you going to start filing it down to make it even harder?

EricMilfeld Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Way to go! Congratulations! Yes, it seems there are some that aren't helped by a deep set. Matt Chipps (opnsysme) told he feels more powerful from a less - than - deep set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
