king crusher Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 i said id do a test of reps today...its done. first off,i did not do as many reps as i guessed...they get ya' i did a set of reps every 2 minutes. after the first 30 min i tried to rest 5 min but found i only gained 2 reps waiting over twice as long...weird,so i only rested 5 min once...then went back to just two min rest. now i did a set every 2 min up to 50 minutes....then a customer came in(im at work) so i had to stop.....fast forward 20 min....i did 10 more min of gripping to complete my hour....hence the bigger numbers on the last five sets. i wrote all my reps......and timed the 2 min very accurately. during this test i got a huge blister about 35 min in....it popped shortly after lol. first 30 min or so reps were easily controlled to exactly paralle....about 3/4 inch after the first 30 the reps actually widened to about 1 inch...harder to hold the gripper to parallel...some reps opened to almost 1.5 inches belive it or not. heres the reps..... 90 50 39 35 30 27 21 21 23 25 20 20 19 this is the 30 min mark 23...here is were i rested 5 min 13...back to 2min 14 14 14 18 here is 50 minutes. 20 min rest....customers...dammit! 31 23 21 18 18 so there it is.....627 reps of the coc #1 in 60 minutes. ALL 3/4-1.5 inches. my forearm felt like a rock...and vains coming out like crazy! so,less then i thought....but i had nothing to base it on really. fun,fun,fun...

king crusher Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 soil, i know i did not blow the 600 away but i got more then 600. i guessed over 1000 in 60 min.....thats why they call it a guess....i had nothing to base it on....ive never done this before. the fact i got 100 the other day and only 90 today first attempt....i did not feel 100% today. last night i did a big arm and shoulder workout....pretty grip intensive. but i said today would be the day. im not sore at all....i doubt i will be tomorrow either...but i dunno. oh,and this was with no chalk....there were times i know i could have got more reps with chalked hands.

Number Ten Ox Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 So about 67% in the first half hour. So my guess of 70% was not far off... Very nice, I will try in a couple days though my #'s will be a lot lower. This is a fun game. I just saw you're from MN. Where bouts? I graduated from Lakeville.

This is very similar to doing hunreds of pushups or bodyweight squats. I don't see how that would cause an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was quite a drop from 90 to 50. You might have been better off to do 40 or 45 (a goal of 960 or 1080) and continue with that, for as long as you could. You hovered around 30 for a long while. Still, I couldn't do what you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Very nice. Thats unreal it must have been quit a battle of mind over matter. Dam that customer couldn't he see you were conducting grave research to benefit the grip world. How soon can we talk you in to testing your left hand. Any predictions?

king crusher Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 ill do my left one of these days...prediction is high 300's id guess...judging by what i did with right. the drop from 90 to 50 isent to bad considering i did sets every 2 minutes. the first set really pumped my arm up....so 2 min later isent much rest. i may try a 30min session with full reps. ps...i guess it was not enough overload because i did not have a hint of soreness.
