Sybersnott Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 thomas, Sorry if I missed it... but can I ask you, how did you make that quick of a jump in your grip strength? Lay out your grip workout for all of us please! BTW, way to go on your progress! What are your future grip goals besides closing the #3??

Lay out your grip workout for all of us please! BTW, way to go on your progress! What are your future grip goals besides closing the #3?? i don't no how i did. my grip training is simple i do it everyday 2 times for only about 10mins each and all i do is pick up the #3 and try to close it and two days ago i was parellel one day ago i was 4/10 and now i'm 3/10 i can't wait to find out what i am today? my grip goals are get more than 30 reps with the #3, close the #4 when i'm 16, be the youngest coc in the world, get 200 or more on the rolling thunder in gr.10, and lift the inch over my head.

3Crusher Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thomas, It is good to dream big, but don't be too disappointed if your progress starts slowing down. When I was about your age, I just started hitting the weights, and the progression was so fast the first year, that I envisioned by the end of high school bench pressing over 500 pounds if my progression kept going at the same rate it was going. Well, to make a long story short, it is over 20 years later, and I have never come close to a 500 pound bench press. Stick with it, and maybe your dreams (big ones at that) may come true, but going from a #3 gripper to a #4 gripper is one of the hardest things in the world to do. Good luck.
