Shal9097 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hello everyone. I’m new to the grip world and gripboard, and wondered if people can post some common grip terms or abreviations and what they mean. I’ve been kind of lost reading some of the posts. Thanks. A little about me, I have been working on strengthening my grip and building my forearms for about six months now, but I just got the grippers. I have a trainer, a #1, and a #2. I can get the #1 for about 8 reps and I am a quarter inch from closing the #2. I would like to work up to the #3 someday but I know that’s a long way off. It’s started to become an obsession that my wife and friends make fun of but I don’t care. I want strong hands. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Welcome aboard. Well, you have some captains of crush grippers and you will see CoC used for them sometimes. HG would be heavy grips grippers GHP would be gillingham performance grippers RB would be robert barbarian grippers Tetting or Warren tetting are another gripper out there. The Mash Monster grippers are tettings also. CCS is credit card set which is what you need to do to close the #3, 3.5, 4 under certification conditions. MMS is mash monster set. Or basically a parallel set, so much deeper. TNS is table no set where you pick the gripper up and close it without using your off(other) hand at all to set it etc. There is a lot more but that's something to start Edited April 5, 2019 by king crusher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
