Chez Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Gripper Rated by Matt Cannon. Its a freakishly hard MM3 Replica. Feels harder than the real MM5. I have never been particular great at 20 MM Block set closes since I like to explode into the close and the block set makes me pause. This is a PR. I hosting a comp this weekend and I hope to duplicate this close or going higher. This would rank 2nd for 20 mm block set closes in a comp on gripsport.org behind only Andrew Durniat (I was there when Andrew closed a 206 lb COC #4 with a 20mm block set).

Stephen Ruby Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Damn you dominated that gripper! Get a good week of rest and I hope you kill that same gripper early in your attempts this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thanks guys. Training has been going really well lately. I'm an adrenaline junkie so I'm usually good for a couple more pounds for a comp or cert. If I'm feeling great I'll go for my 194.45 Super Elite 20 MM block set. I feel I can get it if I really pump myself up on a good day. Look forward to seeing both Jose and Mike on Comp day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Those MM3 dups are no joke. Depending on how long ago you ordered it, this could be part of the reason we went to pre-rated Mash Monsters and started ordering them different from Warren. The SE springs especially were just not landing where they should to be a good replica. 190+ closes are hallowed ground...never mind a block set. Great close.

Sure, bring it along. There is always room for another gripper That is a vicious close. Even more impressive that you did it with that crap music on in the background. haha. That is the radio in the background. I only get like 4 channels in my garage so I'm at the mercy of whatever comes on. Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments. I actually missed it the first time by like a 1/16 inch and got pissed. I regrouped to get it on the second attempt. Sometimes you just need to get your head right.
