Density Training

[Guest Jeff Roark]

I would like to know if anyone here had ever tried a Density Training approach for the COC grippers? I will be starting it Thursday with a COC#1. I am going to do the routine Mondays and Thursdays, along with some Rolling Thunder work and Eagle Loop timed hangs.

The approach that I plan to use comes from Bryce Lane and is very simple in structure. 50 reps in 20 minutes or less. I will decide on my route of progression at that point., I can try to get the same amount of repetitions in a much lower time ie; 10 minutes or less or I can try to work up to more repetitions in the total 20 minute allotted time, for example 100 reps in 20 minutes. When I can meet either goal I will step up to the next higher gripper and repeat the same. When I can do this with the BBM I should be strong and have a fine crushing base built, to help with my final assault on the #3. Hopefully for one time I can stay away from injury.

I think I read long ago that Bob Lipinski used a similiar approach, maybe not as structured. If I am correct he said he would do as many reps as he could with his #2 in a specific time, not sure if was 40 or 60 minutes.

Anyway i just wanted to share this approach and hear from anyone who has used successfully or not.

Jeff,

Bob would do as many closes in 40 min. as he could, once a week. This is how he trained to close the #3.

Here is a link to Bob's site:Training Coc grippers

I am using Bob's method plus some heavy work on the Gripinator.

Jeff,

Let me ask you: where you making progress on your previous program before you decided to try this one?
