Sean Cashman Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) I have never shut my CoC 2.5 before today so was pretty happy. Haven't been focusing on grippers but I think my rolling thunder and pinch work has just overall strengthened my hands. Working on my set is my next step. MM of a #3 dream still alive! Cheers!

Cannon Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Good work! #2.5 is definitely a serious gripper. That is sometimes lost around here. It's a feat to get to this level! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMardegan Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Good work! #2.5 is definitely a serious gripper. That is sometimes lost around here. It's a feat to get to this level! I really agree with this. It's definitely not something to be taken for granted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Cashman Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks guys! Yeah 2.5 doesn't seem like much when everyone is slamming shut huge grippers but you need to start somewhere. Closing the 2.5 got me so pumped I ordered a couple more grippers from Cannon Powerworks today. It's funny how little milestones motivate you to keep pushing further. Thanks for the support.

Thanks for the support. what did you get? GHP 6? I think most strong guys can't close the 2.5. Its the first real manly gripper lol.

jvance Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Just remember, the gripboard is The conglomerate of world class grip athletes. Around here, the 2.5 may be a notch in most people's belts, but in the real world, many men would fail miserably with a 1. Just by being an active member here who is nearing the IM 3, you usually have the strongest hands in the room most places you go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
