madboar Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Got my order of heavy grips last week. Bought the hg 200, 250 and 300. The 200 was a piece of cake right out of the box. Took me all week but I did a couple of tns close with each hand on the 250 tonight. I think i will work on the 250 for about another week and then start on the 300. I have been working out on the isg since september and I cant believe how much easier the grippers are on my hands. That damn isg is brutal. My hands hurt like hell when I max out on it.

bencrush Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Madboar, nice goal and good job on closing the HG250 with the TNS method. What are the inside handle widths of your HGs? I'm curious if you have the brand new 2.25" wide grippers or the 2.5" slightly older version. The new 2.25" grippers just seem to be custom made for TNS closes. Very nice fit in the hand.

madboar Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 oops I screwed up trying to post. Thanks for the ecouragement ben. The hg 200 has a 2 1/4 spread the hg 250 is right at 2 3/8 and the hg 300 is 2 7/16. These are the first grippers I have messed with and correct me if i'm wrong but are these things set up for a right hand close. I am a lefty and am stronger with my left hand but i swear it was easier to close right handed. It looks like the way the springs are wound a right hand close would pull the handle tighter into the palm and do the opposite on a left hand close.

Darco Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Yep you got it, sweet job with the grippers too. Your 2 1/4" gripper is actually pretty rare, hold on to it tightly as I can think of at least a few people who would want to buy it (Steal it from you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madboar Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 last night i did the first serious attempts on the hg 300. got within 1/8" on the right hand and 1/4" on the left. i dont think i've figured out how to hold these things just right. i haven't found the sweet spot consistently yet. and even though i am left handed i am having trouble doin as well with my left as my right. there was a couple of times where the gripper more or less popped out of my left hand.but overall i am pleased with my progress and hope to have the hg 300 under control very soon.
