Nathan Say Posted June 17, 2002 Share Posted June 17, 2002 Are you leaning on the machine at all? I can do that much on mine pretty easily if I cheat a lot. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 I'm gonna go for a new PR tomorrow.... wish me luck!! No, I don't cheat. I'd be only cheating myself if I did. I can feel the results already. Wow.... this is great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 UPDATE: I went for broke on the G-Rex, and I think I've found my limit. And it was a true grip moment!! I put on 150 pounds of weight plates, then stepped on it... and my hands could only hold it for a few seconds. Total weight: 380 pounds. Then I took off 25 pounds, and did it again. Took off another 25, and repeated the process. Then with 100 pounds on the G, and with my BW - I was able to do a few reps. I got off the machine.... and my forearms were FRIED!!! Fried and on fire.... I couldn't believe the pump, it was incredible!! This begs the question: has anyone done 400+ pounds on the G-Rex?? ???

OldGuy Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 How are you using this machine. Are you holding it shut and then stepping on, or are you stepping on and then closing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 As far as 400lbs on the G-Rex, Richard Sorin and Gorrilla Hands come to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 What exactly is the G-rex and where can I buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 Jeff, The G-Rex 621 is the grip machine designed and produced by Richard Sorin. You can go to his site, and that's where you'll find the info on it: http://www.sorinex.com/whatsnew20.htm Oldguy, On the heaviest weight, I am pulling it shut first, THEN standing on it. I don't have the strength to close it while I'm on it!! Here's the pic on how I do it: http://www.sorinex.com/Images/grip/06.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghd56 Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Mr.Snott, Don't forget, the chassis of the G-Rex already weighs 30 pounds with no plates on it, so you actually hit 410. By the way, are you holding that weight with one hand or two? John D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted June 23, 2002 Author Share Posted June 23, 2002 Actually, Richard told me at the AOBS that the carriage weighed 47 pounds.... I didn't even realise this. ??? When I did it, I held it with two hands at first, then with ONE for a few seconds. A few reps later.... stick a fork in me; I'm done. My forearms were pumped like you wouldn't believe!!

Guest 103-1023791186 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Hi there Snott, How are you progressing with the negatives,on the G-REX, have you upped the weight since you started doing them,how does this affect the work that you are able to do on the grippers,more or less,and do you do the G-REX.on the same day as the grippers. i wish that i could have been at theAOB dinner with you all,to be surrounded by some of the greats of grip,must have been awsome.

Sybersnott Posted July 9, 2002 Author Share Posted July 9, 2002 gazza, Yes, I do the grippers on the same day as the G-Rex; sort of as a "cool down" after punishing negatives on the machine. I am upping the weight tomorrow, so let's see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
