Muscle Turtle Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 So I hate grippers k... The past few days I have been sitting around thinking about how Im gonna work my way up the grippers.. Id grab my HG 300 and give it a go and come no where close, I was doing that a few times a day every 3rd day for the past week and nothing... So tonight I go into teh gym to hit up my regular grip workout and huh? I close the HG 300 for 5 reps? and then close it for 1 with my left? So what is going on? luck or just obscurity? Does doing grippers cold help anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtime Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i find that i just need to wake my hands up a little for grippers. usualy after a deadlift workout, i am ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 but it seems my gripper strength has gotten stronger just by squeezing hard grippers when my hand are cold and not coming anywher close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 but it seems my gripper strength has gotten stronger just by squeezing hard grippers when my hand are cold and not coming anywher close... ← Give yourself a week off, then come back and try to close that very same gripper without a warmup.

Left Side Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Dammit Malcolm, you are doing this on purpose. You pretend to fall behind in grippers, and then the moment I pass you...BAM! You fly ahead again. Seriously though I'm glad to hear your grip has come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscle Turtle Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 LS, it was soo weird though man... I had been trying to close that HG 300 cold here and there and getting it roughly to paralell.... Then I go to the gym and decide I should do grippers and did them with this football guy and I just picked uped the 2 and destroyed it, then picked up the HG and destroyed it! it was just luck man, but hopefully I have a horse shoe up my bleep!

stranger Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 after a few days of rest i am usually at my best but don't rest to much or you could loose strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilworker Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Nice work repping the HG300; it's a slippery devil! I never do them cold usually. I generally miss the HG300 and Super Master cold, and get a dozen reps+ after lifting like bench pressing. Makes a huge difference for me.

Muscle Turtle Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 but the thing is that before WITH a warmup I was still not making it any further than without, then yesterday BAM out of no where this... Im not complaining, just looking for wether or not I should continue to do this or is it possible that it is harmfull to my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I just do a grip workout and warm-up, I don't do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I've always noticed after I play w/ my 50lb blob, I can grip better. Same goes for pushups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
