Steels Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I have been working on the #3.5, and I can just set it, but do not have the horsepower to put it away? Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewokhugo Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 hi steels! just curious ... whats the bigger gripper u can close using a mmset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 i believe closing BIG grippers its very mental (after reading non-stop Temmu's log and Kevin Bussi "articles")... thats good news! Overcome #3.5 should be done after u strenght up your mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I have the same problem, i think it is to do with having a weak set. If you can 'just' set it, you won't close it. The set has to feel powerful and has t be sub maximal. If the set feels good and strong on the #3.5 i normally close it, if it doesn't i fall a few mm short. Work on setting harder grippers than the one you are trying to close (try a BBSE or something). Try and shut an elite they vary a lot but most are easier to set than the #3.5.

CoC#3 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hugo practice the set on something harder than a #3. When you are setting really pull in with your ring finger of the closing hand. Squeeze hard with this from the start as it is the finger which has best leverage (until you finish the close with your pinky after you set). like i do in this video really focus on wrapping the index, middle and ring around the handle while setting.
