Martin_Arildsson Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 My hands are still wrecked since last training. I will pick up the scale today! It's specified to diff 5 grams, but the guy at the company who sells the scales checked it and it diffed only 2 grams. It isn't cheap... 6200 SEK after price reduction which is 1 033.34$ USD. Just so I can calibrate grippers properly with the RGC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Is that BBSE, the 3.85 calibrated one, the one you've been missing by very little in last week's workouts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_Arildsson Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 strange Martin..your mm5 replica its easier than your mm4 ... it can happend though:-) Yeah, that sucks. But I need to check them again. It shouldn't be easy to "calibrate wrong". Is that BBSE, the 3.85 calibrated one, the one you've been missing by very little in last week's workouts??? Nope!

Teemu I Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I would also measure the MM replicas (4 & 5) again, seems like a really low numbers. Have you yet measured a gripper that you consider to be your PR close using your own grippers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you yet measured a gripper that you consider to be your PR close using your own grippers? I will probably check them again this week. I had some problems with a couple of grippers, where the above handle didn't go straight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_Arildsson Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 I see I don't have the only easy MM5 out there Haha, check the MM2 Replica too! That one isn't right, it feels harder then any #3 I have calibrated so far. I'm not so sure about this RGC thing. It probably works good with some grippers and with others I get numbers that are totally unreasonable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably works good with some grippers and with others I get numbers that are totally unreasonable... I know of at least one other person that has a ridiculously low MM5. My MM3dud was low too. I think the device is right; quality control with grippers just leaves a lot to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MM2 replica is calibrated to 3.14 by Mikael, and it has been used on a couple of contests and no one has said that it's overrated.
