Emsquared Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Well I would suggest KTA, give it a try and see how you like it Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Nice Job Junior. Try working the grippers for 3 to 5 sets higher reps for the first few weeks maybe 3 times a week. Once you get comfortable with them go to an heavier program. Negatives very heavy singles and doubles with a few sets of reps. If your looking for the ultimate in pure crush strength buy KTA.

thomas straub Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 well if you looking to close the #1 i would do strap holds, straps holds are really good for the last gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas straub Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 strap holds are you get a strap and put it into the gripper as far as you closed it and put 2.5lbs on the strap and then when you can do that for more than 15sec stack on another 2.5lbs. for the strap i use belts i find they work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Junior Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 What about negatives - I've searched but I want to be a pain !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digdogz Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Ok Junior itz no problem. Negatives are where you take your hardest gripper, the one you are eventually meaning to close, and you squeeze the very life out of it for as long as possible. You can use your other hand or your thigh etc to help gets those handles as close as possible and then hang on for the ride You could start doing 2 sets of 3 negatives for as long as you can maybe about twice a week. Your training schedule should be what you feel you are most up to. I am right now on daily training and this, for me, has helped a great deal. But it is up to you to experiment and find your rhythm. If you need any clarification then just ask. Digdogz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
