neiffer Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I got my #1 gripper two days ago and was only able to close it 4 times with my right hand and once with my left. I have couple plastic grippers, but I am just wondering if I should get a trainer as well, or if doing negatives and strapholds will help me shut the number two in a reasonably short time. Since I am college student I am on a limited budget and if I could get by just getting the # 2 for now that would be better. Thanks very much any comments appreciated, Jake Neiffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Get the 2. I don't have the T. Most say it's a good warm up gripper but I warm up with my store grippers (2 for 3$) and the #1. Strap holds with the #1 will make you close the 2 in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neiffer Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 Alright thanks Tou. It will probably be a while before I can do strapholds with the # 1. Would the best way to get there be singles and negatives? How much good do strapholds with those cheap grippers do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Keep on doing many sets of low reps and (like 5 x 5 or 8 x 3) and work on timed holds. Close the gripper and hold it closed as long as you can. Forget strap holds with plastic store grippers. The strap will slip. The #2 will come fast, you'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
