Set 1:
RH COC#2 - Wide - 1 rep

LH COC2 - Parallell - few mm

--- 7 min rest ---

Set 2:
RH HG250 - Parallel - 1 rep

LH COC2 - Parallell - few mm

--- 7 min rest ---

Set 3:

RH COC#2.5 - Parallel - barely moved ( hold 10s )

LH COC2 - Parallel - few mm

--- 7 min rest ---

Set 4:

RH COC#2.5 - Parallel - barely moved ( hold 10s )

Next time I'll do workouts which have only COC#2.5 in them - negatives only. Other workouts I'll go back to COC #2 and HG250.

Probably 2 workouts with COC#2 & HG250 and maximum one workout of COC #2.5

Still not touching the COC#2.5, trying to find a U BOLT or waiting for CPW choked gripper service to come back in March to order one.

good workout

March 5, 2023

2 workous in this thread:

28/2/23: (Workout #1)

Bad workout, felt very weak/

Set 1:

RH & LHCOC #2 failed

Set 2:

RH COC #2 parallel - success

LH COC #2 parallel - just hold

Set 3:

RH COC #2 parallel with CPW x4 turns (+6lbs)- few mm

LH COC #2 parallel - just hold

Set 4:

RH COC #2 more than parallel - success

LH 200lbs gripper - 8 reps

Set 5:

RH COC #2 - 2 parallel - success

LH 200lbs gripper - 8 reps

I had a decision to make: Should I rest for a week from grippers due to the previous workout, or rest like 3 days and try again with like 4-5 reps max.

I took the 3 days rest and tried again and it worked out pretty good:

04/03/2023:

Set 1:

RH COC #2 - parallel - Success

LH 200lbs gripper - 8 reps

Set 2:

RH HG250 parallel - success

LH 200lbs gripper - 10 reps

Set 3:

RH HG250 parallel with CPW x4 turns (+6lbs)- few mm

LH COC #2 - parallel - few mm

Set 4:

RH HG250 parallel with CPW x1.5 turns (+2.25lbs)- few mm

LH 200lbs gripper - 8 reps

On Tuesday I'm going to try more sets with HG250 CPW x4 and hopefully I'll be able to close it for 2-4 sets.

March 8, 2023

06/03/2023:

Set 1:

RH COC #2 - parallel - Success

LH 200lbs gripper - 11 reps

Set 2:

RH HG250 parallel - success

LH 200lbs gripper - 11reps

Set 3:

RH HG250 parallel with CPW x2 turns (+3lbs)- success

LH 200lbs gripper - 11reps

Set 4:

RH HG250 parallel with CPW x4 turns (+6lbs)- failed

LH 200lbs gripper - 14reps

My next workout is probably tomorrow.

March 9, 2023

Just got some 4" Common Nails (I think). They cost here like 0.3$ for one and maybe I can get cheaper if I buy many more instead of 20.

Was hard to get a grip on it, I'd prefer like a 5-6" ones but they didn't have. (Waiting for 60d timer ties nails from Ebay for over 45 days now)

I successfully somehow bent one, sharing images. (video can't upload here doesnt support mp4/avi)

Did a lot of training during the previous week regarding wrists, forearms, armwresling, nail bending,

So I'm taking the grippers training a bit more lightly not to hurt myself.

Set 1:
RH COC#2 - Choked - 1 rep

LH - COC#2 - Choked - 1 rep

--- 7 min rest ---

Set 2:

RH COC#2 - Choked - 1 rep

LH - COC#2 - Choked - 1 rep

--- 7 min rest ---

Set 3:

RH HG250 - Choked - 1 rep

LH - COC#2 - Choked - 1 rep

Next workout today/tomorrow, will be only choked reps as well.

March 13, 2023

nice workout today

March 16, 2023

4 sets of Choked COC #2 (around 30mm):

LH - 1 success and 3 fails

RH - 4 success

1 set of Choked Parallel HG250 (around 22mm):

RH - success

LH - went back to COC #2 - failed.

Felt kinda weak, wrist a bit hurt from the nails I bend and many more workouts I did during the week, I got 20CM nails which are very hard to bend (the right one is 20CM, the left one is 10CM).

NICE WORK

that's a lot of rest between sets

April 17, 2023

Didn't post for a while, but I kept the training log (in my head) so here are the last 4 workouts:

31/04/2023:

Didn't do much, playing with COC #2, bending nails, etc.

07/04/2023:

Warmup as usual 100lbs and 200lbs grippers.

Set 1:
RH COC#2 - Choked - Success (30mm+)

LH - COC#2 - Choked - Success (30mm+)

Set 2:

RH HG250 - Choked - Success

LH - COC#2 - Choked - Failed (few mm)

Set 3:

RH HG250 - parallel - Success

LH - COC#2 - Choked - Failed (few mm)

Taking bigger rest 20-25 minutes now. (Fingers feel weak, trying to rest enough to close the HG250 in the next sets)

Set 4:

RH HG250 - CPW x2 - Success

LH - COC#2 - Choked - Failed (more than a few mm)

Taking 15 minutes rest at least.

Set 5:

RH HG250 - CPW x4 - barely moved

LH - COC#2 - Choked - Failed (more than a few mm)

Pretty much the same workout a week later on 14/04/2023.

And todays workout almost the same but there're two PR!

First one is in Set1 & Set2 & Set3 I've managed to close the COC #2 with LH!

Second PR is at Set 5 I closed HG250 with 4.5 CPW turns.

I just listed below the PRs with respect to the set numbers.

Set 1:
LH COC#2 - Choked - Success (30mm+)

Set 2:

LH COC#2 - Choked - Success (30mm+)

Set 3:

LH - COC#2 - Choked - Success (30mm+)

Set 5:

RH HG250 - CPW x4.5 (+6.75lbs) - Parallel or a bit more - Success

And I rested only 2 days (Saturday & Sunday rest) instead of 6 days of rest.

I'll try to rest less and aim for twice a week instead of once a week of grippers.

Other goals not regarding grippers:

Fat Gripz on Hex Dummbell with 53KG, aiming to reach 63-65KG until the end of the year. (Around 1.5KG increase every month)

Bicep Curls with 52KG on W bar, aiming to reach 65KG until the end of the year. (Around 1.5KG increase every month)

Doing other feats like bending nails, pinching, and open hand with fat gripz as stated above on a regular basis (2-3 times a week).

Great workout

March 28

Didn't post for almost an year, didn't stop working on grippers, a bit less seriously though than how I did in the start.

Started to record my trainings again:

27/03/2024:

RH & LH: Warmup (100lbs x5, 150lbs x3, 200lbs x1, #2 COC 30mm x1)

Set 1: (I record only Right Hand closes)
COC#2.5 (130# Calibrated from CPW)- Choked - Success (Parallel)

Set 2:

COC#2.5 (136# Calibrated from CPW + Bumper x4 turns to bump it from 130 to 136)- Choked - Success (Parallel)

Set 3:

COC#3 (147# Calibrated from CPW)- Choked - FAIL (Parallel) 3mm to close. (PR!)

Set 4:

COC#3 (147# Calibrated from CPW)- Choked - FAIL (Parallel) 3mm to close. (PR!)

Set 5:

COC#2.5 (130#) - From 38mm - Choked - FAIL (Felt super weak after COC#3)

Most of the Left Hand attempts are on Choked #130 and most of the times they fail with 3mm gap before close.

Overall super happy and progress!

Set 1: (Warmup)

22KG x 5

Set 2: (Warmup)

Set 3: (Warmup)

42KG x 3

Set 4: (Working set)

Set 5: (Working set)

54.5KG x 1 - Success

Set 6: (Working set)

54.5KG x 1 - Success

Set 7: (Working set)

57KG x 1 - Success (Questionable)

Pinching:

About the Saxon Bar width (I think 80mm)~
