nostyle126 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks. I surprised myself with that near close. Hopefully I'll be ready to give it another go Wednesday. Hey, question for you all. What non-CoC gripper could be my next stepping stone between the 2.5 and the 3? The Tetting 5 is supposedly like the 2.5 and the 6 is like the 3. Is there no gripper in-between? Thanks.

mackietao Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I´ve just started training grip again.. I´ve closed the 2.5 before.. But I think that was an easy one.. I´ve sold it and ordered a new one. Now I do 3 reset closes with the #2. (with magnesium, without 1 or maby 2 closes). Not really anywhere near to close the 2.5. Im hoping to close it in 2-3 weeks though Edited July 8, 2009 by Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T5 is slightly harder than the #2.5, but you're better off getting it from Wade's store - Gripper Super Store - he has the best service and you should be getting a BeefBuilder Super Master. Take into consideration, the knurling and feel of the BeefBuilders is much rougher than CoC's. Personally, I don't like them - so it's a bit of a challenge to find a gripper between #2.5 and #3. You most likely need an easier #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purkutuomio Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I would like to join but am i able to with my RB210. I would also like to find a gripper between 2.5 and 3.0. I have #3 and its hard as hell compared to my RB210. I really dont know, is my RB210 easy or not or is my #3 very hard. However the difference is pretty big i think. Gripper between those two would be nice to have. I have only crushed my own grippers so i dont know how hard is hard 3 or how easy is easy 3. That's bad because none of my grippers is not calibrated... I hope that you understood something about my bad english . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigi Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey, question for you all. What non-CoC gripper could be my next stepping stone between the 2.5 and the 3? The Tetting 5 is supposedly like the 2.5 and the 6 is like the 3. Is there no gripper in-between? I have no experience with it yet, but a HG300 gripper (which is quite cheap) falls between a #2.5 and #3 if I can recall correctly ...

DannyGrip Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Does this video qualify as a #2.5 close? Problem is that the camera sucks so you can't see it clearly but I had the handles completely shut on it. Also made a video of 12 Reps on the #2 : Can the #3 be far off? I been doing overcrushes and reps in the fashion you see in these videos, any other suggestions? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
