Cannon Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've really enjoyed many of the NO SET videos that have popped up lately! I have been focusing on NS closes in my training lately and thought it might be great fun to start a general thread where people can post their NS closes, attempts, goals, talk about progress, and any other training tips. My blanket challege to everyone is to post your BIGGEST NO SET CLOSE. #1, #3, whatever, let's see 'em. My current NS goal is my RB240n. I'm getting to within 1/4" and it's starting to get exciting. I'll post a progress vid next time I work out at home. I'm also going to dig up some of the past NS closes and post some links here. Let's see whatcha got!

Cannon Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) This #3 NS close from Patrick is one of my favorites: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?automod...si&img=2427 (thanks, lifesnotfair!) Wes attempted a NS in his MM1 cert vid: http://www.mashmonster.com/wespeartmmg1.html Teemu has a great #3 close out there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV3-Wz9S0OY...ted&search= I was amazed with this video from maidenfan! 5 NS reps on a RB330n Edited September 6, 2007 by Cannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Those are all great no set closes. Morgan's impresses me the most right now. Crazy no set strength. My best stuff was back in late 2005 when I was hitting the no sets pretty hard. I'm uploading some today to YouTube. TNS Elite, #3 both hands, RB300N, Cert GM, Cert SM, and even my favorite the TNS medley. It was a #3, HG300, and some other stuff all TNS in a row. Here's the TNS Elite and left hand #3 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNT8icSeETA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 My best NS close is a 1.5, haven't tried these in a few weeks. Just tried the #2 after seeing this thread and am 1/8" away! I suppose I have a goal now. Neat thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Nice idea Matt. Hope you nail that RB240N soon! Nothing like motivation to get you on track again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've done a fairly tough elite no set, the last bit is a little easier than a 3.5. Left hand best is only a #3. Far as training goes the high rep no set work I've been doing has worked very well for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 My best No Set close is a RB 240N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Here are a few more TNS videos: My Cert Grand Master TNS close from 2005. Felt like a medium #3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCHuiDRqmu0 My GM3 TNS close. Grand Elite spring with a 2.25" spread. Obviously MUCH easier than it sounds. Like a hardish #3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVHO0RqpT-A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Very impressive stuff by Morgan, Ben and Wes Here's my best no set so far, a customized Elite for the Tetting no set certification (http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=11225): http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?automod...si&img=4165 Currently my grip focus is not on grippers, but I will for sure mashing my little friends again in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Great videos guys! I haven't seen that Patrick Gansel's no set video before, THAT was explosive!!! Edited September 6, 2007 by Teemu I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Great videos guys! I haven't seen that Patrick Gansel's no set video before, THAT was explosive!!! Hehe, that's why it's so amazing in my eyes, most TNS closes are rather slow, and most include some relocating of the thumb to get better leverage with it or something, on the last bit of the close.... Patrick just closed the gripper in what seemed like a nano-second. Cannon: no problem mate! Thanks for mentioning it! I don't know what I can No-Set, it's either my #1 or BBSA, would have to try. Suck at no-setting but lately I've been training wider sets so we'll see in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab34buy Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Boy, there sure are alot of really strong folks here! Well, for whatever it's worth my max is #2.5 for NS (and grippers in general since I only do NS at this point), but that was a few months and a now healed injury ago... so my current NS gripper is the #2. It's tough working back to where you were before because it's easy to want to rush the process since you know you've been there (Ohhhh I'll be back #2.5, and I WILL crush you till your big brothers start to fear me... ha ha ha HA!!! ) Anyways, thought I'd ask since this thread is about this... Does anyone else prefer NS because of the way the ROM feels for their hand? I know people are training it, but do any prefer it? Such is the case with me, just thought I'd ask while people are thinking about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 This next one was one of my really strong days. It was the RB300N TNS and a 3 finger TNS #3 close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYhtRZbzq9Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowermdw@yahoo.com Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 This next one was one of my really strong days. It was the RB300N TNS and a 3 finger TNS #3 close. Ben, At the end of the #3 close did you say "Good times. But, it hurts." ? All, those are awesome vids. I really enjoyed watching.

JoeGrip Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Morgans recent video of that 330N was MASSIVELY strong, that 3 fingered one by Ben is just crazy, and Sam's #3 inverted tns was also freaking impressive. My best was on a 2 5/8" spread GM, wasn't a very hard GM probably around a 2.7-2.8ish, no where near a #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The best I have on video is a MM1 no set for R and L hands-I have closed an Elite no set both hands as well since this.

pdfk20 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 My best NS close to date is the BBSM (~2.8), i've come pretty close on my RB260 which is like an easy #3. The only NS close on video i've got is my GM1 cert but that was too easy to post here. Hopefully i'll get my no.3 NS by the end of the year.

Bob Lipinski Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 My best is an HG300 which is like a very easy 3. I have been a hair away from my narrow elite, which is close to what I think an average three is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
