mooinabc1 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Dannyboy Iam impress at your progress+keep up the good work. Get you get the Beef Builder super master gripper? I think it is half way between the #2 to #3. The web site is(www.wwfitness.com) price $25 each But it would be interesting to see if you can strap hold the Super Master? Did you get the KTA program?

mooinabc1 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Dannyboy I made my own 220 pounds grippper. I fouind that I could do 3 pounds on it plus (two steel washer) I really help put in ONe steel washer each day with the strap holds I measure to be 12 large steel washer=One pounds. That is 6 washers=1/2 pounds. That is increase of 1/2 pounds each week. each month a gain of 2 pounds. Each 3 months a gain of 6 pounds. Each 6 months a gain of 12 pounds. Each 9 months a gain of 18 pounds If you are strap holding 20 pounds and with this method plus 18 lbs that is 20+18=36 pounds on the strap hold. Would you like to make one a stronger gripper and what could I do use the store bought weak gripper and sent to yhou then You just copy it to your ironmind #2 that will make it into a stronger gripper? If so email your address to me and I will do for you not problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 3, 2004 Author Share Posted May 3, 2004 k im still doing grip just nothing major to report. right now im doing 1 set a day and its going just as well as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 just did some reps #2 right handed - 21 #2 left handed - 7 my left hand has realy improved, im very happy right handed i only went up by one rep but its ok right no wlike i said im doing one set every night, i go from #3 atempts or forced closes to reps im still unable to close my #3 even with a forced close, im veeeeery close though if that means anything im actualy doing forced closes with my #3 left handed too, not nearly as close as with my right hand of course i went to the store to try the #4 with my right to see if i can include it in my training, but i could beeeearly budge it. so no point buying that bad boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Dannyboy very impress with your 21 reps with the #2. Iam still doing the KTA program and really improving. I can 217 pounds about 5 reps. This is the modfied #2. Have you tried doing reps after 4 hours after wokout for your reps try it and see if it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 sure ill try it. why not last night i finally held my #3 SHUT for 10 seconds. it was right handed and yes it was forced close. maybe tonight i can repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 mooinabc1 btw your 5 reps with 217lb is very good. hows the #3 quest going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooinabc1 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 HI: Dannyboy The quest for the #3 ? Iam about 1/8 inch from closing the #3. Hopefully by December 04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 thats sweet man, why dec 4th though? just outa curiousity just did my grip work!!!!!!! ive never had such a drastic increase yet today was rep day. #2 right handed i got 29 reps!!!! -man i had to take a look at it after close up to make sure it was realy a #2 and not #1 #2 left handed i got it 11 times. % wise thats also a huge increase for anyone who reads my training logs remember i said i was only doing 1 set a night, well now ive changed it a bit, i do 2 sets, first i start doing reps, then rest 5 mins and do forced closes. the next day ill reverse it and do force closes and then do reps so its always different and youll be fresh for the exercise every other workout. now im not knocking anyone who does hi set volume. but for me personaly i dont do it...why do one good set and after that your reps will start to decrease, im not training biceps so i dont need to ''pump up'' my hand.

dannyboy Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) ok 10 mins after my above post i tried to do a no set....i no set my #2 BOTH left handed and right handed!!!! ok thi is to good to be true. im starting to think my #2 has somehow gotten weaker?

mooinabc1 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Dannyboy you getting stronger! Question how much strap hold can you do? And how close are to closing the #3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 yea im getting stronger, its weird....ive been stagnant for about 2 months then BLAM new strength gains to answer your question right now im not doing strap holds. i used to love them but right now im getting gains and dont wanna change a thing till those gains stop as far as teh #3 i havent tried a regular close in some time. ill get up to that soon. when i can consistently close that #3 with my forced closed then ill move up to trying to set close it. and from there ill work on my no sets. baby steps i guess i just did my #3 right handed forced close. man i never had a sweeter feeling, i closed it fully for 18 seconds left handed im close, but cant fully close it forced either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 did my forced closes just now again right handed i held the #3 shut completly again i cant close it on every workout, but im getting it on a more regular basis now. if its anything like my first #2 closes it will be far apart...but eventualy ill do it more and more often till i can do it every workout, when i can close my #3 every workout via forced closes then ill move up to trying to set close it. left hand #3 its getting pretty close too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 rep day was today right hand #2 i got 30 reps left hand #2 i got 14 times im pleased with my right hand results, but im a bit morfe happy with my left hand results, i remember a bit back my left hand was improving soooo slowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 i havent missed a no set with my #2 with both left and right hand in about a week now. no setting a #3 is MILES away i know. but one day it will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 i havent missed a right handed force close with my #3 now in quite some time. i hold it shut every time without fail. SO..........its time to change the routine so i can involve #3 1inch set closes im still doing 2 sets a night and its woring great. im gunna change the routine up a bit now day 1 - set close #3 attempt, #2 rep out, #2 no set day 2 - set close #3 attempt, #2 rep out, #2 no set day 3 - #3 forced close for time, #2 no set off repeat cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 i havent used chalk in about 1 and a half months now, and i havent had problems with the gripper slipping. its a lot less messy thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
