Muscle Turtle Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hey, I just started into this whole grip thing.. Im a powerlifter ... I got some guys at school into grip stuff, one of them now posts on here, HEY MEADWIG!!! lols Anyways, my buddy bought a set then sold them to me... I was able to close the #1 on my first try. I am now about 3 weeks into this whole grip thing and got the #2 for 8 reps yesterday which was great. I can get the #3 to past paralell... Im diong plate poinches, workign on rock rings, pipe holds, chins with fingers, and block weights.. Its coming along slowly.. I am also going to start trying negatives with my #3 starting next week.. How can I begin to work on closing that sucker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Also... How many reps for the average person should you be able to do with the #2 before closing the #3??? any average or guess, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryaneverk2 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Your progress sounds very good. Definitely work on the #3. Force it shut using help from your other hand, leg, etc... then hold as long as you can = a negative. If that gets to easy, try to get a harder gripper to use for the negatives. Also, you can do strapholds with the #2 (hang weight from a strap between the handles... squeeze it hard so the weight doesn't fall). You can file the insides of the handles of the #2, forcing you to close it harder/further to get the handles to touch. You'll probably get the #3 pretty quick.
