Could that human be made to follow a program that would ensure he doesn't destroy his potential by sustaining a serious injury before he reach his peak grip strength? then maybe up to a 310 is possible, otherwise something around 290 sound about right to me. Oh dang, that’s a lot of perfecting indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slazbob Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I’d just like to add, that if Carl can block set the GHP 10, that’s as far as one could reasonably go…and would need to go. Tendons can get very strong, but going over that …something is bound to give. Out of all the strength endeavors one could do, grippers seem to be the most abundant when it comes to illusion of grandeur thoughts. im sure there are a lot of reasons behind that, but its simply not that simple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder how far the tendons can actually go That’s why I always try to warmup well and never push when I am not ready for it.. Always utilizing full ROM lessens the chance of injury, if I can’t get full rom on a certain rgc I won’t push it with negatives or such.. When I rep a #3.5 I am 90% where I wanna be, next 10 would be a #4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. How many really strong athletes cannot do squat with grippers? One can get good with grippers very rapidly, and Voila! You ARE somebody! Two comments about that: a) Grippers don’t mean much to anyone outside the Grip World, and b) Getting to the Top of the mountain, the next step, is harder than you think… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, you do this stuff for yourself, and no one else. Don’t get me wrong, it can be very self-satisfying. Of all people, my then-teen son said something to me in 1999 that said it best. He always had a clever witty persona: I told him shortly after I got into grip that I looked forward to him turning 21 so we surprise people with grippers(hustling in bars), to which he said: “ Hey Dad, if you are going to keep your -ss from getting kicked, you’re going to work out a lot more than your hands”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, ultimately nothing matters but just because what you do doesn’t mean something to anyone else doesn’t meam you shouldn’t do it.. If you like/ love what you do and you feel a sense of purpouse with that then do it no matter what anyone says.. “I’d rather die doing what I love to do than sitting at home looking at TV” - those who know they know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared P Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) I'd propose the opposite: everything matters. Edited September 27, 2023 by Jared P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
