ultimatemk309 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Just failed my first attempt yesterday during a workout. I wasn't planning on attempting it, but I was just feeling it at the time. I am really wanting it now so I was going to make another attempt sometime next week. What should I do grip wise in the mean time? I had a pretty tuff grip workout that day. Should I rest and do nothing or maybe do a little rehab work with a stress ball/ light grippers?

anwnate Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Just failed my first attempt yesterday during a workout. I wasn't planning on attempting it, but I was just feeling it at the time.

Should I rest and do nothing or maybe do a little rehab work with a stress ball/ light grippers? If the MM0 is a max attempt...rest is your ally. For the MM0, practice working that range in front of the camera. There's grippers...and then there is "filming grippers." Use the camera for every close...easy or not. Get a critical eye for filming closes, until it becomes second nature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatemk309 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah my camera work wasn't the best. I ended up using a pool table and a couple of pool balls for a stand. Ill be better prepared next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nathaniel is 100% right. show the set better. and make sure the close is extremely clear. take film of an easy gripper and then watch it to see how the light works on the bevels,etc. and make sure your set up to do it as efficiently as possible. and yeah, put the gripper at the front of the workout if it's close to max.

PeterSweden Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I too tried to cert mm0 6 months back and got it disqualified due to por filming mostly. Its really hard to film a close without a tripod etc. How can it be Done without buying a tripod?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 You don't really need a tripod. I had someone filming close up for my mm0. Op, I would go the rest route. I'm not sure if your workout in the gym but for me that gives me indirect grip work all the time, so I'll take a rest from actual grip work and come back to it usually stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I find rest works for me. If I take about 4 to 5 days off for me to attack a max effort gripper. 2nd what Brent said about the filming it took me a couple of weeks of practice and playing with the setup before I was getting good video's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimatemk309 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 That's for the help! Hopefully I will have it closed with a good video in the near future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
