Andersson Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Hello gripper friends! Today is a big day for me. I feel like I'm the King of the Gripper World... except I'm not of course. 15 minutes ago I got my CoC #2, and managed to close it after the warm up. Wow... a great feeling really. I screamed out load and held it shut for like 5 secs, hehe. I bought my #1 and #1.5 last month, and have trained 3 days a week with those. And now I can see the #2.5 in the horizon... My experience with these grippers isn't that long, but I guess the 10 years in the gym is helping me somewhat with the grip strength so far. Well, great to be a member here, knowing that so many share the same interest. Mike Edited August 15, 2007 by Andersson Quote

dimmers Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 congrats on the #2, nice gripper to get early on! good luck with the 2.5 Quote
spahn ranch Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Well done, Andersson! Do you get your CoCs directly from IM? I thought mine might get stuck in customs and held for ransom, but since the first package of 2 CoCs made it through into my mailbox without hickups, I've ordered them in pairs two times since, with equal luck.

Andersson Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 Thanks dimmers, spahn ranch and GetAGrip87! spahn ranch: I've never tried to order from IM. So far I've only used swedish webshops. Maybe my next order will be from the states (the customs is a scary place, but if you've been lucky maybe I should give it a try). Quote
Guest Bonzi Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Thanks dimmers, spahn ranch and GetAGrip87! spahn ranch: I've never tried to order from IM. So far I've only used swedish webshops. Maybe my next order will be from the states (the customs is a scary place, but if you've been lucky maybe I should give it a try). Sorry to digress, folks and this is off topic #2. Sorry, mods. You can come across any of our borders, north or south, but you can't get a gripper across east or west. Quote
