Vinnie Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 1 hour ago, dubyagrip said: Couple of weeks! Good luck! I think you'll crush it. The other day I got an MMS double on the COC 3.5 rated 159 that I brought to Colorado for you to try - I forget if you TNS'd that one lol. Doing a double on that is a far cry from a CCS of a typical COC 3.5, of course, so I don't have any delusions of certing the 3.5 myself. But I never thought I would rep a 3.5 of any rating in any manner. Immediate goal is to block set Jedd's 165 at Nationals in June, then start training toward an Inch lift or Crushed to Dust, unless I get the gripper bug back. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to TNS it cold and without chalk. I think I got it to like 2mm away. It was close. That's some strong stuff, man. Keep it going!

dubyagrip Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) I tweaked my thumb and wrist last night while playing TopGolf... I'm fine, but I will be taking an extra couple of days to rest. My next workout will likely be my MM4 attempt on Wednesday, provided the post office doesn't screw it up.

dubyagrip Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Based on this charting by @Cannon there is a 66% chance I get a gripper 180+ for my 3.5 certification attempt. I will wait to contact Ironmind until I can CCS 185 based on these trends. Brutal. Edited April 22, 2023 by dubyagrip 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweaked my neck a few years ago playing TopGolf, and haven't gone back since. Don't have a great relationship with that place, haha. Wise plan on waiting on the 3.5 cert. Probably better to be overly-confident than nervous about a failed attempt. I plan on waiting until I can CCS my 160 CoC 3.5 to attempt the CoC 3 cert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubyagrip Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 I couldn't go blindly into Wednesday, so I warmed up to check the pain out. It didn't feel awful, but I can't close anything... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared P Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Bummer. Is there a deadline of when the attempt has to be made, or can an athlete hold on to the unopened MM gripper for a few extra days until an injury heals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait to contact Ironmind until I can CCS 185 based on these trends. Brutal. Based on the same chart, there is the same chance you will get one 180 or less (because there are the same number of grippers that were over as there are that were under, and if we count 180 either way, qed). Also based on this chart, if you are able to do 185, you have a 90 per cent chance (27 of 30 were 185 or less). I think that is a pretty reasonable risk to take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
