NealB Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Hopefully said: Do you feel like you gain something from the #3.5 holds? Have never really done any holds, not counting overcrushes then. Honestly Its too soon for me to give you my input. However, I have always felt that training a gripper above your goal gripper gives me a bit of confidence. I'll get back to you in a month or two when I can determine its effectiveness. I've never done negatives and might try those soon but my gripper progress is going as planned so I dont wanna change too much. If it ain't broke, why fix it. If you have any other questions feel free to shoot them my way man. Edited December 15, 2018 by NealB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealB Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Thursday 20 December 2018 I am signed up for the MM1 and need to put more direct work on my MMS. From watching chez's videos he talks a lot about great carryover to CCS from doing heavy MMS. I felt so good after this session I went for MMS on my coc 3 RGC 150 and got 3 reps. I think my second rep might be red lighted but I'm pretty confident I'll be good for my MM1. 1) MMS Ghp7 RGC 141 4x1, too friggen easy, next session will be with my coc 3 RGC 150 2) MMS ghp6 RGC 132 x 2 reps 3) MMS coc 2.5 RGC 128 x 3 reps 4) CCS coc 2.5 RGC 128 x 3 sets 5) coc 1.5 pinky and ring x 3 sets 6) coc 3.5 RGC 175 cheated shut and held x 3 sets 20181220_062715_1.mp4 Edited December 20, 2018 by NealB 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealB Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Saturday 29 December 2018 1) MMS coc 3 RGC 150 4x1 2) MMS ghp7 RGC 141 x 2 reps 3) MMS ghp6 RGC 132 x 3 reps 4) COC 1.5 TNS x 3 sets 5)coc 3.5 RGC 175 held shut x 3 sets 6) pinky and ring training x 3 sets For some reason my hands are not feeling as strong compared to last week. Does anyone else go through this with grippers and how do you fight through it. Or, do you take some time off? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealB Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 25 minutes ago, Hopefully said: For me taking significant time off have been a mistake always (in grip) unless I have been injured. I just train like I always do at the current level. Strength is always going to fluctuate around some point or baseline, you'll be stronger sometimes and sometimes weaker than this but giving your all (at the time) regardless of current strength level is imo the best way to increase this base point. If your weakest level increases then your strongest should too. Thank you for your input, that makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say more about how PR sessions usually shortly follow the most lousy and discouraging sessions - but it looks like your last post says everything. Good work.

Absolutely man, it's weird how things work like that. For some reason grippers have kicked my butt in the past but I am now taking my revenge. Thank you very much for checking out my log and the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
