Vinnie Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 217?!?!!? Sheesh. Why don't you get your mash monster already? If you can get a 217 that far, I'm pretty sure that you can close any old COC 3 however you darned well please, set or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t have a burning desire to be on the mash monster ladder. I do grippers only because they are part of grip.... maybe someday I will get the hankering for the MM ladder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a 3.5 in March and touched my first gripper in March of 2017. Do not have a lot of experience with them by any means. Still wet behind the ears.

Those guys don’t matter. He will never get any where. Luckily, I haven’t gotten comments like that but there will always be haters.

But It is amazing actually. This is very true. People nowadays always say “you won because of”.... not “I lost because I wasn’t as strong on that day”. People are all armchair experts. They have no idea what it takes and the kind of strength needed to succeed at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not because hes been raised as a boxer, BY real boxers, and bred by real boxers. the truth is... people are NOT created equal. And instead of accepting that, people would rather deny deny deny. people are sore losers man. And instead of proudly being outclassed and being congratulatory to someone who out classes them, they instead want to discredit their victory. 100% truth... the only thing equal is our God given rights. I am notstronger than everyone, faster or smarter. We all are blessed with talents and gifts.... some are more talented and gifted than others.

Lol! but i am stoked to see you expanding your gripper training with different sets widths. Only good things will come of it! Word Yes I am expanding my horizons... even getting an AW table to play around with. Grip and AW go together like PB and J!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I've actually had this happen to me IRL. One time I closed a GHP7 with my left hand, using a parallel set. One guy was like: "But you're using your other hand". I told him that he could try that as well. It was really amusing to see him struggle to get the gripper half way closed with both his hands That is not the worst thing I've heard people say though. One time a guy said (after I closed some grippers that he couldn't budge): "But you're have trained a lot". I was like: "No shit man" Apparently some people think that it doesn't count if you actually work out LOL Anyways, great attempt Joseph. You have some really impressive open hand strength and wrist strength as well. I'm sure if you focus on training properly with different sets you will soon close very big grippers. Put some parallel reps in with the #3's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like someone is smart because they study, or good at mechanics because they practice it! Thank you for the compliment. Grippers are what I do very little of. Just a few sets a week, but I am going to experiment with different sets to see where it goes. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that you can already close a #3 with almost no training at all. My bet is that you would respond good enough to low frequenzy training. At least good enough to make nice gainz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
