Bigfoot Grip Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Others here have mentioned this before but I wish their was more info on Qianchen's general training methods etc. Does he do any calisthenics? General barbell/dumbbell type of training? Does he do much grip assistance such as pinch or rolling handles? I get that maybe he doesn't want to spill the beans lol but it would be nice to get some insights. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Grip Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 And I should have stated the close is incrediblely epic. Anything over +200 RGC is like heading towards the Mount Rushmore of Crush! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember your comment from the past but it makes sense if your referring to mm cert bc I believe I seen somewhere that leg assist is not accepted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist of Fury Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yeah any leg assistance with closing grippers should never be allowed for competition or certification. It's not a leg exercise. With that being said, this is insanely strong regardless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bracing really helps though. I have a phenomenally weak set. In training I often used a similar set for heavy attempts and set-up for OCs and negatives. I agree with you that it doesn't detract from the crushing strength displayed on the close. And I'm also a firm believer of doing whatever the heck works for you in training. In that respect, I don't feel anything is being claimed except what is on the video. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a leg exercise. I don't think anyone is suggesting it should be allowed. The MM cert has a "no bracing" rule which I believe was clarified in one of Paul Knight's certs. Maybe MM3. I think he had to redo the cert because during the set he braced his gripping arm elbow on his torso. Clearly he went on to higher levels so it wasn't a strength issue.

It's allowed in silver bullet in pretty much every comp I've seen. Which I'm against. Grippers are not a leg exercise. If you can't set at gripper using your upper body you aren't strong enough. Simple as that. Then of course in training, that's a whole different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mm rules not allowing leg set is fine with me, outside of that legs are only part of the set and not part of the actual close in my books.
