Bigdeze Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 A damn good program has also been written by Ben Edwards (Bencrush). It has been published in MILO, December 2007, Volume 15 - Number 3. It's full of good sense and it definitely changed my mind on working with grippers. Best of luck I looked into ordering that back issue for Ben's article but the shipping is as much as MILO. :mosherCongrats on the close, it's nice to see hard work pay off. Did you ask if a digital version is available ? They don't have it on digital download. Volume 16 number 3 is the oldest digital copy. I may still pop for it eventually.

MrAmerica Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 update: Today I do the gripper training again, the fist time after the 2 weeks break. warm up 1st try CoC#3 easy going (I looked after this try to the buttom of the gripper, because I make shure that it´s the CoC#3 and no easyer one 2nd try direct after the 1st failed 3rd failed 4th failed after this I do overcrushes with coc2,5 and coc2 then the other gripper routine ... after that all I make my bodybuiling routine I was happy with the advance, because after the 2 weeks break the 1st try was so easy. next training in 6 or 7 days greets mrA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAmerica Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) update: Today I do gripper training before and during my bodybuilding routine. But it was the badest gripper training since a long time and so I stoped it earlier. I can´t do a rep with the CoC#3. I tried it 5 times but nothing. The CoC#2,5 was no problem but it was very heavier as the last trainings. I think the reason for this is, that I worked 3 nights this week, sleep not much and eat not realy good. But I give not up the next training with grippers is in 2 days because I stoped today earlier. And then I train grippers all 5 days (no more all 7 days). If my ellbow or forearms don´t hurt me.

MrAmerica Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 update: Today I do the CoC#3 again warm up 1st try CoC#3 closed 2nd try CoC#3 failed 3rd try CoC#3 failed 4th try CoC#3 failed 5st try CoC#3 failed CoC#2,5 and CoC#2 overcrushes and some reps with #1, a little bit hold in the end position cool down The training was ok and I closed the #3 again. greets mrA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAmerica Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) update: Today it was not good, I warmed up, and train with grippers during bodybuilding routine... 1st try CoC#3 failed 2nd try CoC#3 failed 3rd try CoC#3 failed 4th try CoC#3 failed 5th try CoC#3 failed after this I do some overcrushes with the CoC#2,5 and CoC#2 and then cooldown after 5 hours I tryed the CoC#3 again, for 2 try´s but both failed my forearm hurts a little bit but that´s not the problem I think the follow thing´s are necessary for me: - gripper training only alone, not during bodybuilding routine - gripper training at the earliest time all 7 days - I must train more overcrushes Now I make a break with gripper training until next friday (9 days) Then I start again and train all 7 days. greets mrA EDIT: I think about to train one week only overcrushes and hold´s and one week CoC#3 training. I don´t know if it was good to do each week a training on maximum try´s (CoC#3 for me), I don´t do maximum try´s in Benchpress each weak oder in Squats oder Deadlift... but I don´t know, what´s your position???

Keep up the good workouts Thx you Yes I think I´m can do the cert soon (only a few month). I´m very happy about my progress, because before a year, when my ellbow hurts so much, I didn´t think that I can do the CoC#3 in my life, and now it´s pretty easy . If you think you can do it, go on and you will archive your goals. greets mrA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 update: Today I close the first time the CoC #3 - I was very happy about it, because I train in the garden and I didn´t think about to close the CoC #3 ... then I hear the *click* and ... woooooow !!!! After this I do the CoC #3 for 3 times on the day because now I believe in it, that I can close him every time . No I train the Credit Card settings...

Geralt Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 You took a longer resting period because of your illness. A simple cold doesn't affect your strength to much, so maybe for you also taking more time between sessions gives more results perhaps. Rest does more then training.
