Scrawny82 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Just finished my workout and My gripper session. Not sure if Im doing enough sets volume wise. HG 100lbs 1x12 COC#1 2X1 *Assisted close I guess because Im still a few mm off. I think Im going to start doing HG 100lbs 1x12 HG 150lbs 3x5-10 COC#1 2X1 hopefully doing the HG150(est 125lbs) will help me get stronger on the coc#1. not sure if doing a assisted coc#1 is going to make me stronger on it. Ill keep you all posted Edited March 31, 2013 by Scrawny82 Quote Medium goal Close HG 250 Longterm goal close COC#2.5 First Grip Accomplishment -Conquered COC#1 RH Sat April 13 2013

Scrawny82 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 Just finished another grip workout after my regular chest shoulders tricep workout... so close on closing the COC#1 NOW on both hands. Basically 1mm off my dominant hand...so Im guessing ill have the #1 "conquered" within the next 2 weeks. I realize the #1 is nothing for most of you guys but I gotta start somewhere workout was HG 100lbs 1x12 rst 30 sec COC#1 2X1 1min between sets 2minute rest than HG250 1 attempt each hand(2cm left) any tips to get faster results by changing my grip routine are welcome!!! 1 Quote Medium goal Close HG 250 Longterm goal close COC#2.5 First Grip Accomplishment -Conquered COC#1 RH Sat April 13 2013

Most people that lift weights can't close a #1. Keep up the good work! True that. Ive met plenty of strong powerlifters who say "hey, I've got a strong grip. I just use straps to make it easier on my self." No, no you dont. Haha Keep on truckin, man, you're already ahead of the crowd. 1 Quote

Scrawny82 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) First Major setback !!! Just last week I had managed to be able to fully close a #1 but now I am having serious pain going from about my wrist all the way to about half way up my forearm. Its not serious agonizing pain or anything but definitely has caused me to stop any grip/forearm work anyone have any clue what it could be? I had just started doing seated wrist curls with a straight bar (forearms on my quads over my knees) Im hoping this is the cause. p.s. ive also been squeezing the #1 as hard as i can for 4-5 sec for my single reps which could also be the cause? Hope you guys are having better luck than me atm Edited April 21, 2013 by Scrawny82 Quote Medium goal Close HG 250 Longterm goal close COC#2.5 First Grip Accomplishment -Conquered COC#1 RH Sat April 13 2013
Tom Scibelli Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 This is very common. The best thing to do now is rest, stop training grip and give your tendons time to heal and strengthen. It should feel better in a week or two, then work your way slowly back into it. Quote "When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this--you haven't." -Edison.
