Guest shovelboy Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Last night I decided to take advice given by Hammerhead and Gripmaster316. Guys, thank you. I did one warm up on the trainer, but only 10 reps. Went straight to the #1 but did 5 reeeaaaly long forced negatives each hand. Then I fell in love with plate pinching and strap holds!!!! MAN! Plates: 2 tens to full DL, then 3, then 4! I forget who mentioned they did 5 tens, but good job bud. I just can't stop the slip when I try 5! Then 50lb plate in each hand for 40 sec. Then YAY! Strapholds with the #1, and a 10 pounder for time with both hands (4sets right: 18 sec, 15 sec, 10 sec, 8 sec.) (4 sets left: 16, 12, 8, 8) Whole new feeling, no twinges in the left middle finger... Lesson learned: Don't rep the COCs to death. Thanks a lot guys. I'm almost certain the #2 will fall before August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my stupidity of it all... I haven't even received the #2 and #3 yet. My progress with the T and #1 was so fast that I had to order the other two with the very next paycheque! I Purolator'd the order form ($25) just so it would get to IM sooner! I would guess I could get the #2 within 1" at this time. I'll have 4 more grip sessions under the belt by the time they get here though. I'll even try the #3 for laughs... But I just golfed for the first time ever last night and those clubs were NOT comming out of my hands. I even birdied a par 3!! Grip strength is good for everything!

thomas straub Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 well as soon as the #2 gets there start doing strap holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shovelboy Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Ya, I'll just see if I can come close enough with the #2 for a coat hanger hold, in case I can only get to 1/16". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas straub Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Ya, I'll just see if I can come close enough with the #2 for a coat hanger hold, in case I can only get to 1/16". that should be close enough if you can get that far, if you can't just use penny strap holds.

Guest shovelboy Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 penny strap holds? Is that a mini-stack of 2-4 pennies inside the mashed gripper with a strap and weight attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas straub Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 (edited) penny strap holds? Is that a mini-stack of 2-4 pennies inside the mashed gripper with a strap and weight attached? yaa you just get a belt, put weight on it, and than pennies in between the gripper, at the tip of the belt.

Guest shovelboy Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 basically a step-shimmed strap- or belt- hold? I love inventing names for these things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
