JaredWith1R Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 As the title states, this is my first OFFICIAL close of the CoC #2 (unrated), CCS in my dominant hand. I think I've gotten a few closes before in my training, but never caught it on video, or was even entirely sure. After that, I felt really strong in the right hand, so I went for reps. Crushed out 2 solid closes, and 1 almost (but probably no cigar) close. This is my first time shooting gripper closes, so I apologize for the quality. Any advice from anyone anywhere would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for checking my stuff out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaredWith1R Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Those were solid closes. Thanks, dude. I guess I had a perfect amount of warm up and rest since my last session, because everything felt like butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ Livesey Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The gripper is sitting a little low in your hand. You may have more power if you move it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 The gripper is sitting a little low in your hand. You may have more power if you move it up a bit. Nice closes but as EJ says try the gripper on half pinky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 PK's gripper videos are legendary, this is the one I cut my gripper teeth on. Too bad he doesn't compete anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geralt Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Nice man. Congrats. Why not start a training log on this board. You seem pretty serious about your training. You can post vids now and then and can get good feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem pretty serious about your training. You can post vids now and then and can get good feedback. Why not indeed! I can definitely do that. I already log all of my workouts, climbing and grip training, in a google doc. Might as well keep it all in one place. Thanks man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
