dannyboy Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 did some holds earlier tonight. went realy well with the number 3, my previous holds with my number 3 i would set it and try and crush it. this time i forced it shut, it opened up a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit after and i held it for a good 15 seconds. did 2 more sets after and held for about the same time. left handed i used my #2 and held that sucker for 15 seconds also. i think from now on im gunna force my holds shut. i think thats what most ppl do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 did some reps tonight, heres ho wthey went right handed #2 [/color] 1st set 16 reps 2nd set 8 reps 3rd set 8 reps left handed #2 1st set 1 rep almost 2 2nd set 1 rep 3rd set miss ok my right hand will go back up to where it was before i had the cut on the pinkie but jesus christ my left hand is so stagnant. great on a good day ill get 2 reps besides that i will only get 1 rep. i remember when i finially got my #2 right handed, it gradualy went up in reps and strength after that. but my left....it just wont move. oh well ill be patient and wait for gains, but i dont wanna be doing #3 right handed and squeezing 2 reps with my #2 left handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 last night i did strap holds, it went well but i dont know if i can compare it to my previous personal records because its my first time using my new belt, th eold belt i had was made out of a very hard cloth, almost like a potatoe sack material. the belt i have right now is very thin but is a tiiiiiiiiiny bit thicker, oh well heres how it went. right handed #2 15lb for 10 seconds 17.5lb for 4 seconds 17.5lb for 8 seconds, had a better set on that one i think laft handed i actualy did my first strap hold with my #2, basically i did caus the belt is a but thicker. (i think thats why) 2.5lb for 8 seconds 2.5lb for 8 seconds miss #1 with 27.5lb for 10 seconds my new belt is 1/16 inches thick, so by no means is it too thick, but i guess its still a bit thicker than my cloth belt i had before, that must have been microscopically thinner, 1/20 maybe???

mooinabc1 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Dannyboy. Start using the #4 gripper for negatives it will improve your grip strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 mooinabc1 i dont even own a #4.....maybe ill get one just for decoration as far as my last workout goes i did holds, before the holds i warmed up each hand. left handed i was guna just do 1 rep with my #2(caus that usualy all i can get), 1 rep felt fine then i did 2 then 3.....i think doing strap holds with my #2 is realy gunna help my left hand.... anyways then i pulled out the #3 and set it in my right hand and actualy held it shut for a split second before a small ap opened, to to me thats a big deal i never held the #3 shut before...... even thought it was for only .5 seconds it still felt great . left handed i held the #2 for 14 or so seconds.

Great job dannyboy , I've never had that feeling because my crush/close is too weak, if I cheat shut it closed, the #3 pops open 1/2" or so immediately. I think you'll be using the #4 for more than a paperweight very soon. Edited March 6, 2004 by odin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooinabc1 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Danny boy can you test your gripper? How well by using a bathroom scale make you have a paper back book before applying pressure. Press down to poundage and check reading. ratio is 1.5 x 110=165 pounds. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 sure ill test it, but i dont understand you fully. explain one more time. also i dont have a scale, but i can always use a friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Danny boy sorry I did mean to give hard time and I did not explain what I was talking about. I what I meant to day is I have three #3.s and different strength levels one is 165 pounds I got last year. One is 187 pounds I gor this year. The one with steel handles is a true 195 pounds+which I did 16 reps and But I did the test day with the 187 pounds frist which was 39 reps. But I thinks I would have more if did the 195 pounder frist. Danny Boy you are doing good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 mooinabc1 i didnt know you can close #3. have you been certified? and btw can you tell my how you find out the exact poundages on your grippers? i would like to test mine to see what mine are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 mooinabc1 you meant you have 3 # 2's? i wasnt paying atention i read 3 #3's but when you said you had a true 195er obviously thats a #2. i should have figured that out. im still curious how you measured the exact poundage though as far as my workout tonight i did holds, went pretty well right handed #3 i actualy held it shut for a good 3 seconds, felt amazing but of course it was short lived hehe. i did 2 more sets but there was a very tiny gap from the start on both sets left handed i uses my #2 i held that guy shut for 18 seconds set one, and then i held it for 12 seconds the 2 other sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Danny boy I use the bathroom scale to measure my grippers but it the ration is 1.5 to something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 just finish my rep day, didnt go to well... right handed with #2 i got 18reps 10reps then 12reps left handed with #2 i missed on set one, got one rep set 2 and missed again on set 3....when i miss yes its only a piece of paper away from closing...but unless it touches its just not a rep. i dunno why my left sucks so bad, i realy think its caus i just never feel comfortable setting it.. oh well all in all no progress today. thats ok ill get it next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
