Marc Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 After many months of training and near misses i've finally closed the 3#!!! The feat was witnessed by David Horne and Jim Wylie. Unfortunately we were unable to get a photo as i only managed it once :crazy I will get a photo at our next training session when i hope to repeat the feat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Oh yes, it was slammed shut. The boy did good! We'll sort the photos in the next week or so. Unfortunately, or fortunately Marc will now be in the Open section of the Brit Grip Champs. That takes it now to 7 CoC's in that class. Once again, well done, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Wannagrip, My Training consisted mainly off timed strap holds, inverted gripper work, pinch lifts and thick bar stuff, all of which helped considerably. Marc Thanks guys for your congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaury Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Congratulations, how long did it take you to achieve it (from the first time you trained on grippers) and which gripper did you start with ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 Amaury, It has taken about 7-8 months to close the #3. My first introduction to the grippers was the #1 which I closed with ease, My brother (Jim Wylie) then got hold of #2 for me to have a go and after a couple of attempts I managed to close it…I was then hooked. After this i started to train at David Horne’s gym and the rest is history !! Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
