GrassMaine89 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm gonna say that's too narrow. When I doubt go wider. Ya that's what I suspected, thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thanks. I'd say about 160 if I ate my wheaties. I hope you give it a shot soon then. You are definitely strong enough, as a few have mentioned. I thought maybe if another MM1 closer recommended it, you might go ahead and do it. I had a knuckle injury and stayed away from the boards to avoid temptation (when I read about other people gripping or bending I can't resist doing it myself). As an update I have closed my LT CoC #3 150 lbs for numerous singles. I have failed my GHP #7 152 lbs but by narrow margins. I read through this form and noticed how close a lot of guys are, I want to keep it alive. Do we have any status updates? I know EJ closed it, congrats. Chops how are you doing with it? I noticed awhile back you were making some awesome gains. Anybody else have any status updates? Good work man. You are very close to the MM1 then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Good work man. You are very close to the MM1 then. Thanks man...hoping to snag one of CPW's new RB grippers that is closer in range to the MM1 so I can find out how much work I have left Edited May 22, 2015 by GrassMaine89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) These are my latest GHP 7 closes: I'm going to take a break until my new grippers from CPW arrive...at that time I'll test myself and see how far off from MM1 I am...I'm not there yet however I now feel confident I can close my GHP 7 at will...I'm motivated to slay MM1 Edited May 27, 2015 by GrassMaine89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'm in Its less of a race right now and more of a few people showing there progress...I would love to turn it into a more formalized race...that's what we did when I achieved MM0, and that's what you guys just did...seems to be highly motivating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Anybody know how the mm1 feels compared to a CoC or a ghp...I've heard people say rgc would be anywhere from 153 to 158 so I was wondering if it felt like a particular rgc gripper, like a 155 CoC....just trying to gauge where I need to be...I realize it's like nailing smoke to the wall with all the variables that exist with grippers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassMaine89 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Just got my new grippers today...closed the left turn 3 155 lbs for 2 singles...its hard to see in the video, hate the LT's for videos...I tried my CPW 330 N 160 lbs for 2 singles and missed them both by paper thin margins...I think it will go down soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassMaine89 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 I don't know if I'm willing to say that it is harder, it just feels different...similar to closing a regular gripper in your left hand...they definitely feel awesome in the left hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
