knyaz Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 that s a fine looking set of grippers right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knyaz Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 warmup up on the trainer, then do negatives with the one, two 40 minute workouts a week should be more than enough to start with 1 always warm up your hands 2 do one set with the trainer as many reps as you can( both hands) 3 then singles with the one, try to close it then force it closed with your thigh and hold it there soon youll be closing the number one COC !!! also hot water then cold water baths after every training session 2 min hot , 2 min hold repeat, this will get the blood flowing and help your recover really quick, tiger balm is also great when you overtrain -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Wow. Beautiful I've only experienced it twice so far, but there's just nothing like getting a little box filled with grippers I find overcrushes, forced negatives, and parallel reps work good for me. Oh, and resist the temptation...DON'T OVERTRAIN! Edited July 26, 2008 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Knight Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 did the knife come in the box too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Nice set! As others said, good warmups with the trainer, then heavy attempts with the #1. You'll get it soon. Good luck with training! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big nasty Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I would'nt trian them more then 2 time's a week at the begining I would also look here on the board for vid's on how to set your gripper's. Good technique is key to good progress John Eaton has a good one good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good technique is key to good progress John Eaton has a good one good luck. thanks man for your reply I had learned how to set a gripper in the tutorials that are in youtube such as london kettlebell Man I cant train only 2 times a week! I can barley hold myself and only train 3 times It is like telling me not to eat for a week! cheers :rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taekwondo911 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 hi, Today after training for like 40 minutes with the trainer and the no.1 I hadnt noticed that my forearms got sore! So does that mean that I can recover fast and I should workout like 4 times a week or take the KTA? thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony151 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I really dont think you are going to be ready for KTA yet i would probably save KTA to go from the COC #2 to the COC #3. I Just did a singles program for a month and i raised 1 gripper but everyone is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Just did a singles program for a month and i raised 1 gripper but everyone is different. this was my second training session and i closed the trainer like 4 times and the no.1 but with the spring facing downwards. Do you think I should train 4 times a week ? because there is no soreness in my forearms right after training! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'd just build up the reps on the trainer and try the #1 every other workout. When you can get two solid closes on the #1 then work it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it! anyway I am gonna train with the trainer 4 times a week until I can rep it for 12 times or so then I am going to train for three days thanks for the reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
