matthcarl Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Nice videos. That hub looks like it would be a real challenge. The IM hub is 3" wide and 1" deep, in case you're interested. Nice job on the grippers, too. I can't TNS a #2 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Your doing great on that #2 TNS! I'm still inconsistent when TNSing my #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobb1320 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Great vids,Small hands or not you slammed that 2 shut like it was nobodys business and your tns looks good,you should tns that 2 soon.Great work man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackyflipside Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks guys! That TNS is really close, I'm pretty sure my problem is not holding the set hard enough on the gripper. As for closing the #3 my biggest mistake is not ordering the #2.5! The jump between #2 and #3 is pretty huge. So the hub is normally 1" deep? I will make a mark then on the hub then so I don't reach further down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackyflipside Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got the #2.5 in, I was very close to closing it from MMS. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y22/crack...ng/25almost.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nockowt1 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Good luck with the #2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlstrass Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Love the way you slammed that #2 shut and it clicked. Nice attempt on the #2.5, that's a stout gripper for sure. Try to get to the point of doing 2-3 reps on the #2 and you'll be slamming that #2.5 shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 To come that close with a #2 no-set with 6.5" hands is excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Yep, your hands are small! Nice work! Try setting the #3 deeper (that's not MMS) and work up from there. Also try to use your thumb more actively. Edited April 22, 2008 by Teemu I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpycuban Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 That vid of your #3 close on youtube. I'm pretty sure you're not holding the "dog leg". Might help a bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpycuban Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Great closes though. It's tough to close those grippers. Even harder no setting. Awesome Cracky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackyflipside Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) That vid of your #3 close on youtube. I'm pretty sure you're not holding the "dog leg". Might help a bit more? Yeah that's something I noticed. In my hands setting the gripper deep in the palm determines how far I'll get the gripper closed. In order to TNS a #2 I have to push the dogleg in with my other hand but that's not technically a TNS.

layla Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 i always like a good set of grip vids prior to a workout, ill definetly subscribe to them on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackyflipside Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Gripper Gauntlet Going to failure on both hands, don't know why the 2.5 felt so heavy today (probably fatigued from the other grippers) Anyways, I got the #1.5 closed lefty even though it isn't too clear in the video (I can TNS it lefty) and I am really close to closing the #2 lefty with some set. I promise next vid on here is going to be a #2.5 close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big nasty Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Very strong with small hand's you might try setting the gripper farther foward in you hand set the handle in the crease. I know with your small hand's it is tough but it work's trust me good luck you look strong !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlstrass Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Very strong with small hand's you might try setting the gripper farther foward in you hand set the handle in the crease. I know with your small hand's it is tough but it work's trust me good luck you look strong !!! I just watched the vids and was going to say the same thing. The handle in your palm is pretty far back into your thumb pad. If you can get the hang of setting it in the crease in the middle of your hand the #2.5 will fall. I'm still learning to do this LH and it makes a HUGE difference. I've closed the #2.5 LH once with a good set, but normally my set is horrible and I get it down to 1/8-1/4" as the handle in the palm just pushes back as I try to close it.
