Clay Edgin Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 (edited) Woohoo! Just ordered my #4 (for negatives, of course!), a pair of Ironmind Eagle Loops, and the KTA program. I can't wait to get my Ironmind toys, but I will hopefully start KTA this weekend. Edited May 30, 2003 by ClayEdgin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gripmaster316 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 negatives... right... I am sure you'll be blowing your forearm in half trying to close it. That almost happened to me trying to close the 3 today... didn't close it unfortunately. Good job getting the eagle loops, I am thinking on getting a pair... later. That and maybe the pinch block, hub pinch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gripmaster316 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 (edited) I close the #3 as far as I can and hold it for 15sec. I believe that would be a bonified negative. By the way my training routine has turned me from a grip [edited out] to mashing a 2 any time I want... so take that!!!

Clay Edgin Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Gripmaster, good for you - I'm glad you've increased your grip strength. Isn't that what we're all here for? Getting stronger? I've been thinking about taking a video of me unwrapping the #4 and trying to see how far I can get it closed. That way, when I DO get it closed (and I will) I'll have something to look back on and chuckle. If anything, having my forearm blow on video would be a kickass clip for the gripboard gallery! You damn right I'd post it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 No offense gripmaster316 but negatives have paved the way to MANY COC and not the least. First, Kinney is a firm believer in negatives. Heath is too. KTA is pushing negatives VERY hard and I gives it most credit for my ability to close the #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strong Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 ClayEdgin... I think you will do well with the #4 ! ( considering that you closed the #3 on the first day you tried ). Train hard and good luck ! By the way my training routine has turned me from a grip retard to mashing a 2 any time I want... so take that!!! So can I ! I can also close my #3 most of the time I try, but I realize that I'm a grip newbie and my knowledge is limited... So I try to learn something from the more experienced guys on this board. And because of the great information this board provide, I have been able to go from a grip newbie to a grip rooky Read and learn ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I have a request that the term retard not ever be used on this board again, RE mr. gripmaster's comment. Please and Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gripmaster316 Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I apologize for the remark. The one thing that I absolutely dislike about talking online is that thing's can be misinterpreted. To clear things up I never said I was anti-negative (they are an important aspect of my training) I just meant that the first thing you would do when you saw a 4 is try to close it. Another thing, try not to be so offended at such remarks. I was merely talking about myself and no one else. Try not misinterpret what I say.

Jonathan McMillan Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 ClayEdgin, I think that is a great idea re: getting your first #4 attempt captured on some kindof picture or footage. I regret not doing the same with my current crop of grippers. Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
