pwrlftr50 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Its not much of a milestone to a lot on this board, but I finally closed my #2 today! I bought it about 10 years ago I'm guessing but never really followed a structured gripper workout. It was more of a toy I played with occasionally. Six months ago I started the "newbie grip" routine by David Horne and then I've been concentrating on my grippers for the past month. the #2 has been much closer than before the newbie grip routine but it kind of caught me off guard when the handles actually touched today. Awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Congratulations! 10 Years is a long time to work on something, even if it was not consistent. It's still 10 Years! Tenacity pays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Lipinski Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Good job! I look forward to having a similar post about lifting a blob, nothing special but a huge journey for me. These long term PR's are the sweetest. Congrats!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Yeah man. Achieving a long term PR (and here I include "life" PR's and not just strength PR's) is as good as it gets. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome!!! What do you mean its not much of a milestone - that's a huge achievement! This whole game we play is about personal achievement and progress - not about what someone else did. It's not the destination but the journey that is important - keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
