Bbgrand Master


Recommended Posts

This is a question to all of you who have or have tried the BBGM. Where was it strength-wise? My birthday is coming up soon and the BBGM and SM are an idea, I want to know if its just as hard as a new #3 or if it's typically alittle easier like say a 2.8 or 2.9. I don't want to spend $25 on a double! Any replies appreciated! Thanks

They used to be around 2.9, a bit easier than a "typical" (whatever that means) 3. The spread is around 1/4 inch less, and they now are knurlier than IM's.

I have tested and calibrated about 10 different BBGM. Those varies 2.61-3.15 what I have calibrated. Only one was easy, 2.61. All the rest were 3.0-3.15

Mine's the same as Pete's, only just under the '06 #3, but I can only base that on having recently done 2 reps on my GM, and a workout or so later missing the 2nd rep on my #3 by the tiniest amount.

Would ordering a Grand Master with a narrower spread be a good idea? Say 2 5/8" or 2 3/4"? It sounds like I'd almost be buying a double if the majority of them are pretty much #3 strength.

i'd say save your money and just go for the BBSM. The BBSM is a great training tool for the #3. I use mine for strapholds.

Goals:

MM close #3 - Done 9/22/05

Cert HG300 - Done 12/15/05

CCS close #3

#3 cert

MM0 cert

I recieved my BB gripers about 2- 3 months ago and the gm I would rate it a 2.8 2. 9 and the super master about a 2.5 comparing them to my coc grippers, My RB210 is about the same 2.8 but the BB grippers are More narrow in spread so i would go for the GM
