pdoire Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Geo, When you say sets...are these successful closes or attempts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Sorry Paul they are attempts. Apart from the MM set right handed #3 which closed and the MM set RB260 right hand which closed too. The Elite is a little way off yet. Really like that gripper though. Hands seem to be responding to the 6 days on 1 day off routine. That Ive switched to. Had a Day off today from grip and back on tommorow after squats.

Geo Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 Didnt intend to do quite so long a workout but I rigged up a simple handle device for negs ala Joe kinney. It is incredibly useful. Less effort is wasted on trying to get the bigger grippers closed and more effort is employed on resisting the opening. I got a beer keg, a peice of steel tubing from a knackered plasterers pump jack and wrapped the gripper in tissue to pad it out inside the tube. Slot the tube through the handles of the keg,clamp it, with one leg kneeling on the keg and there you go! #3 CC set 7 attempts RB260 MM set closes 2 sets Elite negs 6 sets Super Elite negs 5 sets #4 negs 5 sets Next Im going to file my harder 3 to use in the keg/handle device to get further range of motion. Interested to see what results this will bring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) Filed my "chrome" #3 yesterday and did some work with it tonight. Its a toughey! This is taking ages to get a CC set with the 3. Time to give the body a warning as Joe Kinney says. A Grand Declaration of War with my 3 will occur this Saturday Already upped the #4 negs in readiness... Attempts + negative with hold 20 Edited December 1, 2005 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Very sore from the 4 negs. With the Kinney handle device I can do the 4 some serious damage for negatives.HOWEVER this is using some serious Body English and also closing the gripper in this way is WAY easier than doing it the normal way. The tricky part is trying to get the maximum amount of squeeze to be done by the fingers and not the triceps! Still works though as my crush is stronger, if quite sore. Did 10 attempts/forced close with the filed 3 Edited December 6, 2005 by Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Havent been able to post in a while because of the holidays. Sundays workout Elite 5 attempts MM set RB260 Overrush x3 Wednesdays workout # 3 CC set attempts 3 sets Seems to be that I get a 2mm from closing nearly everytime and I reach a "gummy part where It doesnt want to move any closer. However its still progress as I reach this very close to closed point regularly. The MM set stuff has really helped I think - I should of taken Paul Doires advice ages ago and done more overcrushes as these are really helping as well. Elite attempts MM set This ones coming along nicely Im doing well with this gripper. 3 attempts RB260 Man these RB's are nice grippers.Especially when doing overcrushes which I was doing last night. The Overcrush is where its at. 3 sets #4 negatives 7 sets Using the Kinney handle is an art in itself! To get it right you need to make sure your really using your hand to keep the thing closed and not the triceps. Liking mixing the training up. Gonna keep at this. Sorting out witness for MM0.

Geo Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Need a better quality camera. Just tried filming for the MM0 and the quality is too poor to get a decent image Have to borrow one from someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 Did 3 closes with the 3 last night for the MM0 but either the camera or the light source wasnt up to the job and its too blury to see properly. Saturday 5 no set attempts Elite attempts 3 Super Elite Negs 3 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Had another go with the camera tonight. I sorted out the lighting and I got the footage alright apart from the fact that my setting hand gets in the way of the camera when I set the thing.Then when my setting hand is removed you can see that the handles are set in the MM position. Not sure if thats good enough. So borrowing my bros fancy camera to firstly try and get the picture clearer (better quality) and secondly to remember to get my hand out of the damn way! Ive found that its best if the witness just witnesses! Unless they are shit hot with a camera then its best to just keep the camera stationary on a high platform and move the gripper to the lense. Tonight Did 5 MM set #3 closes RB260 overcrush 5 sets Elite attempts 5 sets #4 Negs 10 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
