poppy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Back on May 22, I held a penny in my #1 for 22 seconds. Since I'm still not closing the #2 (stuck at same point...ordered a #2.5 to do somechoker work to hopefully help with the #2) and I'm at someone else's house and most of my grippers are at home, I figured I'd update my penny hold with a #1. I now it doesn't advance me on the list, but I need some motivation at the moment. New penny hold with #1: LH: 23 seconds (was embarssed to post LH time back in May) RH: 32 seconds (10 second improvement) Edited July 2, 2008 by poppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Pulled my #2 out of storage. Rock 'n Roll, Baby!AnimalCage #2 16 sec RH Whoa, very nice Alan! Way to start it off with the #2 man. What's your next goal gripper close? Do you have a #2.5 or something along those lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalCage Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I have a PDA 343, I've been told it's about a 2.7 or so by some who also tried my 2 and 3. I've closed it once. It could be a bit before I do penny holds with it, but that would be my next goal. A 2.5 could be in my future. Now that I've given gerryg a reason to try again, I think the bone orchard is my next target. I want top twenty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Impressive animal cage! Poppy: use your #2 for this! u can use one coin with 2 mm (think its bigger than one penny) 1 inch = 254 mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Impressive animal cage!Poppy: use your #2 for this! u can use one coin with 2 mm (think its bigger than one penny) 1 inch = 254 mm. I'm going to stick with the penny so I don't start trying to cheat it. After my workout on Friday, I nailed my #2 twice. I was excited about it and tried it again yesterday and today, but I was barely off from closing it because my hands still hurt from Friday. Hell, the #1 was tough to close today because of sore and weak-feeling hands. Sometime during this week, I'll use a penny with the #2, even if I can only hold it for 5 seconds or so! Thanks for the encouragement. P.S. Holy crap the #2.5 feels stout. Oh well, so did the #2 when I got it. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 poppy: congrats for closing the #2 twice! use contrast baths to heal faster. after your next gripper workout use ice after u finished it:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 poppy: congrats for closing the #2 twice!use contrast baths to heal faster. after your next gripper workout use ice after u finished it:-) I need to buy some small buckets tomorrow for the contrast baths. Tonight, I simply ran my hand under really hot bath water for a couple of minutes and then ran them under cold water from the sink after. I repeated this twice. It really was a hidden pleasure. I would not think that water would feel so great on my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not think that water would feel so great on my hands. That's the same thing I do. I have also used empty 5lb. creatine containers, but I actually prefer the running water, just because it's easier. Btw, nice work smashing the #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tough to get from people I work out with because they do not care about closing grippers. I said in an earlier post that I may try the coin challenge with the #2 this week, but I may have to wait until I start the next week of KTA. My forearms and hands just are not 100%. This is fine because I do feel like a lot of work is getting done, but I want the best possible time with a coin with my #2. Best of luck gripping.
