patrick Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 My hand is feeling better. I closed my elite several times with little pain today. Ive been for the most part using my grip machine with light weights to rehab it. Seems to be working great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Patrick have you always done the high rep workouts like you've listed here or have you tried lots of training schemes for the grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave22 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Are your hands hurt bad or are you just being lazy and unmotivated right now. Or maybe the hard work just got to you to much and you coudn't handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because otherwise, you sound like an a-hole when you post comments like that. The man has closed a RB300, and a #4...I sincerely doubt he's a stranger to long, hard work! WTF?

lifesnotfair Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I can't resist replying to this old log.... man how I wish this guy would still post his workouts, specially after a certain pic I saw on the other forum... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Just resurrecting my old workout thread. I will post in here and the 3.5 challenge thread for now. Here was my last work that was already posted in the 3.5 challenge thread. Nosets felt of today on warmups so I just did MM sets and baby reps for a change. Hard #3.5 2 sets of 3-reps Easy #3.5 1 set of 8-reps Reg. #3 15-reps Reg. #3 Baby reps or clicks 50-reps #2 Baby reps or clicks 100-reps Right now I'm really wanting to get my easy 3.5 for a noset then my hard one for a noset too then hopefully that will lead to more.

lifesnotfair Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Patrick. After I posted that reply about a pic, a couple of guys asked via PM what pic I was talking about. Since you resurrected this I guess I can say it anyways: it was that pic of a bottom two fingers attempt on a #3 that seemed to be 1/4" from closing. To me, that's super impressive, even more than a #4 close!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 2 little clips I took at work tonight messin around first is #3.5 gripper for 5 mm reps wasn't that good of a clip but it is just a clip took at work showing one of my friends what I could do same with this just was messin around at work tried a ring and pinky attempt on my new #3 I have got it a little closer than this before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Its quite a time we saw clips from one of the super crushers. Damn good videos. At first I expected to see 5mm (metric) reps on the #3.5. Then I understood. For the 2nd vid: Your two little fingers are superior strrong, that might be a must for closing big grippers considering the leverage they have on the handles. My two little ones are soo weak, did u train them individually a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two little ones are soo weak, did u train them individually a lot? Yes I have trained them individually quite a bit. I use the tugs quite a bit for ring and pinky work along with reg grippers for ring and pinky finger closes. If you haven't ever trained them like that they will be very weak like that but it helps quite a bit for closing big grippers and I think just about anyone could benefit from some specific ring and pinky training.

odin Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Patrick, Are you still doing heavy wrist curls? You were doing some big weights before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 No I'm not doing any wrist curls right now. Other than grippers I'm doing some pinch work and some levering. Really trying to put all my focus on the grippers for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Ok this wasn't really a workout but I'm into playing basketball a lot also. Me and my brother were playing and I got this weird idea to to close the gripper with one hand and dunk the basket ball while holding the gripper shut. I did a credit card set on the #3 and dunked the ball while holding it shut. Close gripper first and hold it shut while I dunk the ball. Closing the gripper wasn't hard but it takes some coordination to do it and hold it closed and then dunk the ball holding it closed. Definitely a weird combination. Any I was just screwing around having fun. I wouldn't let IronMind see this thread though or next thing you know.

patrick Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) Got several closes with credit card on the #3.5 then tried with video and missed about 15 more tries with the camera so that really sucked. Reg MM closes #3.5-5reps #3.5-7reps #4 6 tries at 1/8 to 1/4 Tried some pinch grip. Did 2 45s for 10times one hand using pinky and thumb on other hand to help. Could get them barely twice with right hand unassisted. Edited October 24, 2007 by patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Just a clip from my workout Didn't have an actual credit card with me at the time I used a magnet holder, it was the exact width of a credit card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
