Which grippers do you use on your "off" days?

[C8Myotome]

I am curious, for those who do in fact use lighter grippers on their "off days" from heavier grippers (Like CoC3+), do you have an RGC cutoff you go by, a percent of your max that you consider doesn't damage your recovery, etc?

Please include what your max is vs how heavy of grippers you use for rest/active recovery. Thanks

Sometimes I use the GHP #1 or the #2 for reps 

lately on the off days I’ve been using the GHP # five for negatives 

my #5 is 119lbs

usually five sets of one rep Each hand over the course of 45 minutes.

but usually on the off days I’m doing other types of good work

I use a no.4 for my attempts and a 3.5 for negatives.

I use a 100 LB unrated gripper for my recovery which is the equivalent of either a guide or a trainer.

I've never properly trained grippers, but i've closed the CROM spring on the Vulcan on the lowest setting. I think that is roughly 1.5..

I pick up my .5 and screw around with it once in awhile.

Basically same grippers I trained with but lower volume. I almost always trained high volume because that was working the best for me. So I did many sets with grippers I could do 1-8 reps with.

On lower volume "off" days I would use one of those grippers that I could do maybe 3-8 reps with and do singles.

Also did some very light grippers occasionally. 3 sets of 50 reps. But that was not so much for recovery, it was to build endurance but I also think it helped with recovery because of the pump I would get from it. I actually had my best gains when I combined these with heavy singles.

I don't usually do too much on off days but if I do it's this adjustable plastic gripper that I got from Cannon for free a while back. Sets of 10-20 with a hold at the end, nothing too serious. 

My max RGC gripper close is 170 Elite
