Scrawny82 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi guys Im totally new to the grip world and I was making some good progress on the HG grippers that I made a bet with a co-worker that in 5 months(aug 31) Ill be able to close the HG 250. I was all excited until I found out the Hg grippers poundages are way off and got myself a COC 1 1.5 2 2.5 Based on the RGC Gripper Rankings Im guessing the COC #2 is very similar in difficulty to the HG 250 based on this my lose guess is the COC#2 is 195lbs and the HG 250 is actually 200lbs I can basically close the CoC# 1 one time only !! Anyone think Ill be able to close the HG250 in time and win this bet? Heres the 2 days a week routine Ive come up with so far. workout 1 warmup hg100 1x12 (12) Work COC#1 2x1 (1 / .9) workout 2 warmup hg100 1x12 (12) work HG150 2x10 (9 / 9) Advance CoC#1 2x1 (1 / .9) the ( ) = what I hit for the sets ****Sorry for my first post being a gimme gimme gimme the answers type..but time is not on my side and I really do plan on reading through all the training posts and learning form previous threads. Any thoughts and tips appreciated P.S. totally get the addictiveness Ive been reading about...nothing better than having a goal you can set and have the power to achieve it in your own hands.

macaz Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You are correct that the #2 and 250 are usually close in strength. Since you are new and can close the #1 I think you could close the #2 by august (beginner gains are awesome). The strength increase you are trying to achieve is about 20 to 25 pounds between the 1 and 2. Try the RRBT program. That was what I used to get to the 2.5 when I started.
