jsmiley Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just wondering if it does any harm to leave a choker on a gripper, or should it be taken on and off before and after workout? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just wondering if it does any harm to leave a choker on a gripper, or should it be taken on and off before and after workout?thanks Does no harm at all from everything I've read and experienced myself. I've kept a Super Elite clamped at parallel for a few months now. Calibrates the same as it did a few months back too because I retested it.

vikingsrule92 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yup, Ben's right, the worst it will do is mess up your knurling a bit, but that's why you should put some type of tape around where the choker goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmiley Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Right on thanks guys, I have been using tape to ensure I don't mess with the knurling, now I can stop taking off and putting on chokers every time I work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Good to hear Jsmiley. Just to ask everyone, what's your preference for tape around the handles? I'm going to go into choked grippers more and I was curious. Athletic tape? Electrical? Otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmiley Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I use athletic tape it tends to hold the choker in place the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knyaz Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 yeah ive used athletic as well, seems to work very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmatt Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Athletic tape all the way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Like there wasn't enough replies saying the same things. I'm using athletic tape as well. Clamp sinks into it better than on the hockey tape for example and seems to be stickier on the surface as well so the clamp stays on better. I also fully believe that it doesn't make the gripper weaker to leave the choker on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Springs only become weaker after repeated flexion, you will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
