dubyagrip Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day, but I've found that hitting my forearms with my massage gun significantly increases my recovery. I was feeling pretty good, so I tried some silver bullet holds for the first time with my #3. I held it much longer than I thought I would. Holds always seemed like an endurance thing to me, and I'm focused more on crushing power. However, after doing a few sets of these, my mindset is changing. I perceive value in adding these to my routine...we'll see if this will help me with my focus of CCS and TNS closes. (Yes, I'm aware my silver bullet is a CoC key with a hole drilled in it.)

dubyagrip Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 This is about as close as you can get and miss a close, but that's why I always add a mm or two when I'm trying choked attempts from my target widths... 165 RGC @ 39mm 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your weekly routine looks like at the moment. How do you combine your grip workouts with your regular strenght workouts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you combine your grip workouts with your regular strenght workouts? Hey - It's pretty basic. I break it up into two sessions on my training days which are 2-3x a week, depending on how I'm recovering. It looks something like this usually, but the set widths can vary depending on how I'm feeling. If I fail to close the gripper, I always use my free hand to cheat it closed. Sometimes I will add some attempts with my 180, 190, or 200+ RGC grippers just for fun. Morning Session White & Green Extensor Bands - 25 Reps w/ Wrist Rotation Trainer - 1 x 10 (Warm Up) #1 - 1 x 3 (TNS) #2 - 1 x 3 (TNS) #3 148 RGC - 1 x 3 (TNS) - Right Hand #2.5 - 1 x 3 (TNS) - Left Hand Cobalt 159 RGC - 1 x 1 (CCS) Yellow, Blue, and Red Extensor Bands - 5-10 Reps Each Evening Session White & Green Extensor Bands - 25 Reps w/ Wrist Rotation Trainer 3 x 10 (Warm Up) Cobalt 165 RGC - 1 x 38mm Choke Titanium 177 RGC - 1 x 20mm Choke #3.5 165 RGC - CCS Max Effort (My Current Goal Gripper) Then I do pinch work after this. As far as balancing it with my other strength workouts...I've stopped pretty much all upper body work because I do steel bends in addition to crush and pinch work. I train my legs and do some deadlifts, but my focus is fully on the 3.5 cert, so anything not in support of that effort will fall away temporarily.

Nuttgens Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Good video man makes me really want to pick up a choked gripper.
