C8Myotome Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I consider it open-handed crush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It doesn't explicitly fit either category since it is an overcoming isometric that turns into a yielding isometric as fatigue sets in. It's closest to a support grip since the motion is almost zero, unlike crush which involves a movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to both set the gripper and then crush it a bit into position...I've done it with an average CoC 4, it's definitely not as easy to do as support grip where you just grab something and start the movement. Even if you just did a long hold on a normal gripper you still have to crush to get to that position If nothing moved at all like on a hand dyno then sure I would call that support grip...but the silver bullet movement still has active crushing in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Setting a gripper is not part of the silver bullet, that is also the easiest portion since grippers all get more difficult the more they move, the silver bullet position must be harder than the set. Every pdu can silver bullet a harder gripper than they can close, that is normal and what allows silver bullet to be an endurance exercise instead of a max strength exercise. Once the silver bullet is in position and held there can be no movement, it is isometric and a closed hand support at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
