Pancake Sprawl Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) well, i'm working on the #3, and i can't help but hold the spring until i close it like half way and then i begin my real fight with it. i've closed it twice doing it like this but i'm not consistent. i will post pics of how close i usually get it down to. i'd just like to know why do i do this? and why can't i close it without doing this. the sweep for some reason seems TONS easier when i do this. also, is there anyway that i can strengthen my hand to where i don't have to do this? btw, i've been training with the #3 for about 4-5 weeks now. i'm pretty new to grip, i've only been training for about 5-6 months now.

mobsterone Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 No need to look. I'm one of several grip athletes that have used this technique in the past. Like using a machine over free-weights it stabilizes the 'bar' as it were. However, use a finger or the least touch you can and use it less and less as you get better. Also only on the hardest grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showlarson Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I loved holding the spring when I first started! Take Mobster's advice-I couldn't have said it better myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
