It is always nice the first time that you close one that you have been working on for a while. Keep up the hard work and the #3 will fall for you in time. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Stop doing all those reps on your #1!!! That's where all your strength goes - doing those reps, then you grab your #2 and lo and behold you can't close it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yersinia Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 sorry sybersnott . :p i will stop doing it hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well, let me explain WHY I said that. Mostly, when working with the grippers, some guys go nuts on a weaker gripper and do countless reps, banging out rep after rep and thinking that they are doing something!! Then they go for a goal gripper and all their strength is gone from the previous gripper -- they can't close their goal gripper and they can't wonder why!!

Yersinia Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 ye i thought so. :p but i dont do it before trying a goal gripper . its just for fun and to see how many i can do :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 ye i thought so. :p but i dont do it before trying a goal gripper . its just for fun and to see how many i can do :P Congratulations on this bench mark! Do you struggle with your left hand because the gripper twists? Apparantly they are wound to be right-handed. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yersinia Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 im not really sure. i can do more on my right hand cause im stronger there. but i dont feel like theres any problems with using my left hand on them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jruggiero Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi All... I am literally an 1/8 of an inch from closing the # 2 with my right hand. Can you give me any suggestions to get his thing closed? I might be over training a bit - I grab the #2 about 10 times randomly through out the day and go for a close. I just got it a week ago. I can close the #1 12 times, full and clean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yersinia Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 all i did was walk around with the #2 on me all the time. and try my best to close it once.. then a break untill i felt ready to give it a go again. i did that for some time tho. could be more speedy ways to do it . :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jruggiero Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 How long did take for you to close it from the time you took it out of the package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yersinia Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 hmm. i guess it took a couple of months. maybe as much as 4 . i couldnt close the #1 at that time tho. could close the trainer like 4 times. and now i can close #2 5 times . :p i think overcrushes helped my progress the most.
