Just to set a 3.5 is difficult and doing it that fast points to some great potential.  Don't get into the habit of grabbing the spring as that is not a thing for legit gripper closes.  Nor bracing against the body, etc.

Alright thanks for the tip, yes I was doing some lighter sets after and noticed i also took the spring. Need to not let that happen in the future. Again, thanks for the tip

Ill close him no worries😉 I ofc have no problem to prove the close is real by sending my gripper to cannon or getting certified on the 3,5 or flying over to a forummember to close it in front of him, that I alrdy understand.

Can you do it with one hand? Because your video shows you using two.

Not a close until you do it with one hand.

I am looking forward to you reaching your goals and rooting for you but going by your standards I could lift the inch dumbbell the day I got it. Yeah I need two hands to lift it but so what.
