ironorr Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 How many of you guys have reached your goal gripper without using any between grippers? For example, how many of you guys have gone from a #2 to a #3 OR a #3 to a #4 without using the BB grippers in between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcg Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I only had the IronMind grippers when working through KTA for closing the #3. //Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I went from #2 to #3 without any tweener grippers. I did have a HH shake though. I would definetly buy a BBSM and/or an ISG if I had to do it all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I made the jump from T to #1 from #1 to #2 with just my CoC, but now I am working up to the #3 using a combination of #1 plus the Ivanko, and increasing the resistance with the Ivanko in small increments every two weeks.

chrlslee1 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I closed the #1 on my first try, and within 3-4 weeks of getting my first gripper I got to #2, but only with my right hand. Im really close with my left hand though. Im ordering the BB to get to #3 because it'll be a while before i start repping the #2, unlike the #1 which I was repping after the first week.

ulgrim Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 i've only used IM #1, #2, and #3, and I can close the #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakath Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 i've only used IM #1, #2, and #3, and I can close the #3. ← Me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I can’t imagine not having inbetween grippers to help reach gripper goal. I can easily close the 3 but even now the 4 in a lofty goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulgrim Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 quite a lot of strength can be gained on a gripper after you can close it. inverted closes, 3 finger, 2 finger, and 1 finger closes using different fingers, overcrushes, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakath Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 i've only used IM #1, #2, and #3, and I can close the #3. ← Me too ← Got to add that I ONLY used regular parallel closes, only thing that I varied was reps. I just stuck to the basics *thumb up* But now I've started with a few more thechniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggymountainmuscle Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 For the guys who did not use inbetween grippers, did you by chance file or cut your grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcg Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 For the guys who did not use inbetween grippers, did you by chance file or cut your grippers? ← Yes, when working to close the #3 I used a filed #2. //Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I used only a filed #2 that was already a very tough gripper prior to filing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I can’t imagine not having inbetween grippers to help reach gripper goal. ← I had to use a "bridge gripper" to close the gap between the #2 and the #3, that being the BBM - it helped me a lot.

Matt Van Weele Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 When I went from the 2 to the 3 I had no inbetweens or filed grippers or anything for that matter. Just a 1,2 and 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 (edited) I came close to jumping from the 2 to the 3, but the BBSM and BBGM helped me get that last little bit. This was after several months of frustration with that last little bit though. Edited January 30, 2005 by underdawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I use BBSM and elite as inbetweens and filed my #1 and #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
