DLK Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I am fairly new to the grip game but see people post challanges and like to propose one myself. My current level of grip strength is not too high i can close the #2 for 4 reps, I have a homemade RT and have done 150 on it my first try. Anyone with about the same level of strength out there?

DLK Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 I forgot to state the challenge. A race to the HG 300, then the SM, and finally the #3. Also whatever anyone wants to do on the RT or block pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 DLK, i propose you go straight to the SM...from everything i know about HG300's, they are above an SM...feel free to prove me wrong...however, im getting an SM shortly, so if you havbe one i will take you up on that...im just a little above you, i can close my severly filed #2 for 4 reps.......let me know what you think...also, state how you want the close.....no set, Table no set, credit card, 1'', whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Ok then. i have seen alot of videos on here and see how the reps are and when I did my I let the gripper fall all the way back to the starting point whuch was credit card. I order one before the week is out and the HG 300 if its next in line. The sets is up to you because I haven't never done anything but credit card.

DLK Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Sure why not. What type of close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 lets say credit card first, then no set.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 What would you suggest before the SM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 lets say credit card first, then no set.... ← i really dont know to tell the truth...i think SM would be a good next step up....try filing your #2 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 12-01-04 FIRST ACTUALL GRIP WORKOUT RH #1-4 #2-2 neither touched #2-1 no touch Worked on setup #2-2 #2-2 #2-2 #2-2 #2-2 #2-6 PR Ivanka gripper (don't know how accurate this is) 219-1 LH #2-1/16" to close #2-same or closer with hold #2-1/8" with hold #2-1/8" with hold #2-1/8" with hold I did deadlifts last night and it probably wasn't the best day for this but oh well I hit a big PR. I will do some other grip things later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Do you guys think it would be okay if I did some pinch block tommorow then some RT stuff a few days after that? OR just wait a few more days and do them together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 12-04-04 FIRST PINCH WORKOUT (alternate right and left hand) RT Rh 55-3 with hold 90-2 with hold 115-1 130-1 160-x 160-1 PR came off ground and fell out of hand LH 55-3 with hold PR 90-2 PR 115-1 PR 130-1 PR 140-hover 5.5" pinch RH 15-3 with hold 20-1 30-1 35-X LH 15-3 with hold PR 20-1 PR 30-1 PR 35-x 3" pinch 35-1 PR 45-1 PR 55-1 PR 65-1 PR 70-x LH 35-1 45-1 55-1 65-can't remember I think fail 2 25 pinch from hand to hand 5 trades 3" pinch RH 70-1 PR This was my first actual grip workout and it tore almost all the skin off my thumbs. I don't know how heavy to progress from week to week because 5 pounds on squats is alot different from pinch. We'll just have to see. What does eveyine else think about how I'm doing?

mossman Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 wait a sec, let me get this straight.......this was your first pinch workout, and you pinched 70lbs? oh shit, what did i get myself into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Thanks man. It was on wood which was smooth. But also 1/2" bigger than 2 plates. I need to make something to add weights to some plates so it'll be offical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Last night I ordered my SM it we will shipped tommorow. Ho wlong do they normally take to arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Depends on who you got it from. Anything from Warren usually gets there in just a few days. WW Warehouse typically takes a little longer. By the way, nice pinching, very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLK Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) 12-08-04 Met Anson and did some bending, grippers, and block weights. Didn't keep track of what I did. Really first try with #3 got in a hair under 1/2" with no set. Got it to 1/4" in a choker set to par. First time bending bent some 40P and kink in 60P nails. Deadlift clean and press 35 blob both hands and pick 50 blob up with both hands and held for a sec. with right hand for a few sets. Bend some 1/2" 3ft. steel. Also messed around with some kettlebells. I am going to start bending so we'll see how that goes. Edited December 9, 2004 by DLK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Looking forward to hearing how you do with the new HG300. Good job on the bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Thanks bencrush. 12-10-04 Did a little with grippers got @2 closer than ever with left on first try it might have touched but not sure. Did a couple singles with right and tried some more bending. Put a big kink in 60P nail and did some 40P. I have been trying too do to much right now. I am going to focus on grippers and pinch for awhile. Right now bending is hurting my wrists and I cannot put all my effort into grippers. I'll put it off for awhile.
