Gripper Relations

[unequipped]

friends,

how often you can close a coc #1, when you close first time the coc #2 ?

how often the coc #2, when you can close the coc #3?

Experience has shown that there is a wide range of variability here - so much so that almost no one uses reps as their only method of working up to a harder gripper.

If you are asking merely out of curiosity, there are many threads where people give information - a quick search should turn up many of these.

Reps will vary from person to person.

When I was training specifically for reps I could manage 30 parrallel reps with the #1 but I still couldn't close the #2.

Now I can close the #2 but probably would only be able to manage 10-15 reps on the #1 now as my training goals have changed. (i.e. I do fewer reps but concentrate on increasing strength).

Closing a higher gripper does not necessarily have a direct link to the number of reps you can close on a weaker gripper.

yes, there are no hard rules for this.

but when you want to close the coc 2.5, you have to close the coc 1.5 a few times.

for example, right now i can close the coc 1 16x and the coc 1.5 8x.

now waiting for the coc 2. i will tell you, i could close it "out of the box", or not

About 20 seems to be a good rule of thumb, but as per the previous replies, this varies from person to person. Also, different people have different ideas as to what constitutes a rep (range of motion etc.). Based on those numbers you should be pretty close. I'd give you a 50/50 chance

As Noob Saibot said, it varies, and not only from how a person is wired but from their training, and from the strength of the gripper.

And like The Mac said, there are quite a bit of old threads on this. I guarantee you people's answers won't be anything not said many times before and the people who said it before probably don't have anything new to tell you, so it's something that really should just be searched.

I don't remember doing more than 5 reps with any gripper since I've been training with them and I'm close to closing the #2.5 If you really want to know if you're ready to close a specific gripper your best bet is to actually try that gripper.

12 bad reps on #1 when i first closed #2.

did 28 reps on my #2 after i closed #2.5 first time(bad reps though: just touching)

interesting.

have no problems to close the coc 1 for 15 times, but have no chance to close the coc 2.
