CoC#3 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks. GREAT SESH TODAY! warmup - powerball. RH - MM1 CCSx1,1,1,1 all missed by a hair. Very close. #3.5 negs 1,1,1,1 - held closer than yesterday's sesison. RB300 neg. Held almost closed. filed #3x1 high reps VG stuff best thing was 10,7 x 12 LH - MM1x2 #3.5x1 #4x3-4mm miss then assisted shut and held almost closed #4x3-4mm miss then assisted shut and opened back out to 3mm gr8 #4 attempt - rubbish. Turned into neg. filed #3x3reps TNS HG300x1 TNS and next 2 reps close misses high reps VG stuff extensor work getting closer with the #4 i think there's a good chance i will close it next time i have a grip get together with anyone i.e. with the extra motivation. sledge stuff, very light, going to start doing this again because when i did a lot of this my forearms were at their biggest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Sam, how long is since you had a break from training grippers and grip in general? You might find that if you do nothing for a week you can then come back and close the #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Harder than an average #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Thanks guys. today's session warmups - rb240 and wide set MM1 then RH - #3.5 negs and BFNs Heavy VG work. Used 3 springs for negs. Higher rep VG work LH - #3.5x2 small reps. #4xgreat attempt (inverted) - best i have done. Hair off. VG very heavy negs. 12,10,8 with 3 springs. Higher reps VG work. Extensor work. By training every day i am getting closer to the #4. My grip improves faster by regular training. A week off and i lose my groove, so to speak.
