dannyboy Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 k IF this works its a picture of my home made strap i use for strap holds, i made it from a belt, got the thinnest one i could find. i find that it helps to make the top part of the belt..(you know the part you actualy grap the handles on) thin....i cut a small sliver from either side. hope this works...im very doubtfull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 holds #3 right handed i did 3 sets, didnt get the # 3 shut on any of the sets....i blame this on a bad set on the first and bythe time i did my second i was burnt, the gap was very small anyways. held set one for 15 seconds, set two and three i held it for 12 left hand i used #2. set 1 and set 2 i didnt get it completly shut either. see it shuts but at a slight angle so it cant touche. i still held it for 21 seconds on set one 18 seconds on set 2....then set three i got a good set and had it mashed...held that for 11 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 k well i switched my regular rep day witch i used to do set closes...im now doing no sets instead...amd NO im not rolling over to the new rule change, just that before i used to do my training to revolve around a set close for certification...but since im not worrying about certifying anymore im just gunna have my rep day no sets...i used to do no sets before i knew about how to set. no sets i feel more like a workout.. feel more of the forearm is being worked....anyways im still a bit bitter about the rule change. oh well so the training continues. no set work (my no set work is, i put the gripper on the floor, pick it up and with out wiggling the gripper into place close it and put it back on the floor, keep doing that till im dead) more of a raw close right hand #1 22 reps 14 14 left hand #1 14 14 12 after i finished my workout i tries to close #2 no set, i couldnt, then i rested up and tried to do it again, only this time i stables the spring with my left hand and grabbed the #2 with my right and closed it...i know this isnt a true no set, but its a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooinabc1 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Dannyboy can you set close the #3? Can you do strap hold with #3? Start out with one pound Strap Hold if you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 mooinabc1 i was able to cheat close my #3 for a couple seconds but thats it. last time i tried i couldnt hold it all the way shut. i think it was caus i was training to much with to little rest. i was doing 6 days on 1 day off. now that i took 2 days off in a row to rest my hand i had a great day yesterday with strap holds. my new routine is gunna be 3 on 2 off. ill see how it goes. btw let me log my strap holds before i forget. right handed #2 - 25lb for 8 seconds 27.5lb for 8 seconds 27.5lb for 8 seconds left handed #2 5lb for 10 seconds 7.5lb for 8 seconds 10lb for 6 seconds mooninabc1 whats your training like?

mooinabc1 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Dannyboy Iam glad you ask. Well I use the adjustable ironmind #2 with extened handles and which I can adjust to an extra 30 pounds+195=225 pounds. I can force close and use straphold on with one pounds. If you want see pics to make your own send me your email. jsimon952003@yahoo.ca Yes I can do 225 pounds. I like to use the ironmind #4 gripper with extended handles for cheat closes. for partial close to get hand to get use to doing heavy gripping.

dannyboy Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 hehehe your quite the handy man mooinabc1. i sent you my email, im interested to how you make your grippers vary in adjustable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 25, 2004 Author Share Posted March 25, 2004 my last cupld training days i didnt log so ill do it now cheat closes. right hand i didnt get the #3 closed but i held it as close to close as i could for 15 seconds for 3 sets left hand i held #2 for 22 seconds then 18 and 14....realy mashed it on each set last night i decided do forget about this no set business and start repping with teh 1 inch set again, havent done that in almost 3 weeks so i was rusty right hand #2 i got 9 reps then 5 and 4 left hand i couldnt get one on my #2 soi used my #1...since i can close my #2 almost 30 times left i decided to open the gripper fuuuully to make it a bit harder. i did 18,14 and 12 reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 The no set you would not get anywhere with it. The setting the gripper will help get to next gripper faster then you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 The no set you would not get anywhere with it.The setting the gripper will help get to next gripper faster then you think. i agree, ive stoped doing no sets...what was i thinking????

HAMMERHEAD Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I'm gonna have to disagree, on the no set comment. Here's my experience: While doin' KTA, I hurt my wrist at work. Doin' deep set work aggrivated it so I went to minimal set/no set work. I still progressed to cert on the #3 using the old rules. Others experiences may vary of course. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinslater Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 So you feel no sets helped with your set close in the long run? Thanks! Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Yes Joe kinney the setting his grippe and the amchines and belong the range and extreme negs if look at tape you see use the. And his secret weapon you see him use cheat close the that gripper. If you can do gripper that stronger then the one you goal gripper and then the goal grippe would not be a problem with the no set rules. For example, BB world class gripper. if you goal is the #4.
