Steel344 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hello everyone first post in a long time. I like browsing around reading good information but now finally I have posted. I have been latley at a sticking point trying to close the CoC #2 im about 2 millimeters away from closing it. I use to work with the grippers 3x a week but now 2x a week any help I will appreciate it my routine is as follows: CoC Trainer 1x10 CoC #1 1x 10 second hold CoC 1.5 1x2 CoC #2 choked 1x1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico300zx Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I wouldn't say your over training at all, maybe try a different routine. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdeze Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nope, I'd do just enough reps with the Trainer and #1 to warm up. And up the volume with singles on the #2 and get a #2.5 or higher and work in some negatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joefrey Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone first post in a long time. I like browsing around reading good information but now finally I have posted. I have been latley at a sticking point trying to close the CoC #2 im about 2 millimeters away from closing it. I use to work with the grippers 3x a week but now 2x a week any help I will appreciate it my routine is as follows: CoC Trainer 1x10 CoC #1 1x 10 second hold CoC 1.5 1x2 CoC #2 choked 1x1 Where is the workout ? It's the warmup isn't it ? I'am kidding of course ! I don't know what you're doing besides grip training but in my opinion, it's not enough. If you're on a 3 workouts a week scheme, may I suggest you this plan : - Heavy day : after warmup, 5 negatives with #2.5 then 1X max of reps with #1 to finish the workout. - Light day : after warmup, 5 X max of reps with #1.5. Don't stop when you cannot fully close the gripper. Do the max of reps even if gripper is not fully closed. Track the # of reps you do and force yourself to always do more reps. - Medium day : after warmup, 10 X choker work with #2. Try to be explosive (read this article, it's a wonder : http://gripperstrength.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/choker-work-on-grippers/) This is not THE way to conquer #2 but it may help.

Steel344 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Well I use too work with the grippers 3x a week so I felt like I maybe doing to much with the number 2 working with it 3x times a week so I decided to kill a day so I can recover more. I have tried doing high reps,low reps and negatives but now im trying something new and that is the choker work. I have heard a lot of good things about it that it will actually help. Thanks guys for the reply and help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
