OldGuy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I tried my grippers for the first time in ages. I can no longer close a #2. At one time I was able to no set a #3 and get a #4 to handles parallel. I am looking for a routine to get back on track. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hey OldGuy i am in the same situation. Resumed gripper training a few weeks ago. I simply do what i recommend to beginners: 3 sets, 2 times a week. At the moment it looks like this (RH): Extensive warm-up with the T and the #1 1 set of ~10 no set reps with the #1.5 2 set of ~3 no set reps with the #2 I'll switch to a different routine only when i plateau. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I would just say to take the time to recover as you work back into things. Don't necessarily put yourself on a set schedule, but rather work out when you're not sore anymore. You'll probably see gains right away from anything you do, so do what you like. Once you hit a wall, then maybe consider a routine to address the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Patience my friend...starting back on grippers for me last year after not having touched any since 07, hard to close my filed #2 n got back to the #3 within weeks or striking distance. Had to get my hands n system used to crushing things like that again You'll get your strength back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
