I have never even thought to do that kind of frequency I see it’s not typically many sets and some days are heavier and some lighter. I would be very interested to try something similar I enjoy hitting grippers more than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been stuck a while now, less that 1mm from closing my 165rgc 3.5. Maybe I should mess around with frequency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not surprised with how strong you are now plus all the frequency. You will be smashing 160 range grippers soon. I notice you dont list any gripper warm ups, do you just go straight into heavy grippers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice you dont list any gripper warm ups, do you just go straight into heavy grippers? I don't list them becouse it's a little long but I warmup with: 1. Bike ride through the city 20 min 2. 4-6 supersets of push ups/bulgarian split squats + extensor bands (20-30 reps per hand) 3. Gripper warmups: I do singles with all my collection supersetted with extensor bands until I reach the top weight. I pass through the sport, guide, trainer, #1, #1.5, #2, ghp5 (114), #2,5(119), ghp6/xinyi wanjia 225(both rated 130). And then I jump into the goal gripper, which is the #3 (139) these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok cool thanks. Its always interesting to see how others warm up. I dont list mine ethier but i do pushups and resistance band and kettlbell swings, things like that before my grip work. Its important. Its brilliant seeing your progress, the 150 RGC range is above what most achieve so i cant wait to see how far you go with them in a year or 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go to my parent's house, I have my squat stands and barbell so my warmup is a squat single. It wakes me up like no other exercise, but I can't do it every week. Thanks for your words Paul, I'd love to get another certification, and try to go for the next milestone, a coc #3,5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
