TheAugustKid Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Unfortunately I have been stuck on the HG250 for awhile now and can almost close it, only a few centimeters left. Anyway the current program I was on looked like so.. Take into account that I have all the heavy grip grippers from 100 to 350. Monday 100x10, 150 x 5, 250 x 3 attemps turned into negatives Wednesday Off Friday 3 heavy overcrushes for 10 seconds with 200. This routine got me pretty much no where. It's probably crappy. What do you guys suggest? Should I start using the HG300 and 350 for training as well? I haven't even opened them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do you mean millimeters on the HG250? I would recommend that you do more work. Like put the overcrushes at the end of the Monday workout and then do that whole thing again on Friday. Otherwise, if you can overcrush the HG200, I would start filing it right now and do beyond-the-range overcrushes. If you're overcrushing the HG200, that's getting somewhere! Changing it up a little will probably get you to the 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking I have a weaker 200 and a stronger 250. The bathroom scale reads 115 or so on the 250. And I can't remember what the 200 was.

TheAugustKid Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Yeah my 200 is barely 80 on the bathroom scale and my 150 is 75ish. So it's a pretty weak 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do something to get the blood flowing like a set of squats or something, then do 2 or 3 singles on the 100 just to get the blood moving in the forearm. You are wearing yourself out before you get to the real work. Then I would go right to singles attempts on your goal gripper. Do as many singles as you can with a couple minutes rest in between each one. When you finally miss, do some BFNs with that gripper. If you want to, then drop back and do some rep work with your easier grippers. Try that twice a week and then for a 3rd workout, do some overcrushes on your 200. File it down a bit like Matt said if they get much easier than they are now. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
