What’s your highest rep range (Challenge)

[AdriaanRobert96]

So just a fun challenge I like to do once every once in a while is to take my sub maximal gripper and go for reps.

That for me would be the #2.5 which I got 30 reps with.

I got 7 reps with the #3 but that was more of a max

What’s your max reps with your sub-maximal gripper?

Note: This isn’t meant to prove anything more than endurance I think, but it’s fun and gives you a hand cripping pump

When I got a grip genie 3 I did like 30+ credit card reps on it before deciding that this was a gripper for somebody else

[Nuttgens]

27 reps on a 2.5 but I had to do them somewhat slow and wide or else the camera couldn’t really see what was happening

Jeez man, feels good

[stranger]

When I think of gripper reps I think of @Nuttgens. 

Here a #2 for 25 with a good hold at the end. I do these sometimes after my main sets just for fun. 

also got 7 reps with a #3 rated 148

 

 

I think my best with a 2.5 is like 15

Ayee this hyped me up for my next gripper workout

You definitely had atleast 5 more in you on the #2

Awh dang, 7 reps on the #3 was solid

I've done 20 parallel-ish reps with an average #2.5, also once did 100 click reps with my #2.

[Fist of Fury]

From memory, don't know the exact numbers on the #1.

COC#1 average - 60-65 reps 20 mm block set.
COC#2 easy - 39 reps 20 mm block set (might have done over 40 one time also with a really easy #2.)
COC#2 easy - 30 reps TNS.
COC#2 average - 30 reps 20 mm block set.
COC#2.5 easy - 18 reps 20 mm block set.
COC#2.5 hard - 12 reps 20 mm block set.
COC#3 average - 5 reps 20 mm block set.

#2.5 and #3 I really never tried my true max with however. I was more into actually training and I never got time to truly test my max reps on those during that period.

The hardest of all these was the #1, that hurt in every possible way. Don't remember the exact rep count, I tried it several times, always ended up in the 60-65 rep range. I would say when you go over 50 reps, it really starts to hurt, I just want to puke at that point.

Doing TNS closes is way easier when you reach a certain level, since you get more rest. Using the 20 block set on each rep gives you way more time under tension. I would say if you use 50% or your 1RM then it should be easier to do TNS closes because of this.

My warmup set with grippers is #2 (105) x 10 and then #3 (139) x 7-8, but occasionally I will try to AMRAP that #3; the most I have ever done with the #3 is 17 parallel closes RH and 9 LH.

Dang, getting up in the 20s with the #2.5 is not a joke tbh

When you write all this it feels like I am reading my own maxes

I am pretty much in the same ball park

Super solid reps with all grippers indeed, imagine doing 10 with the #3.5

Dang, imagine doing atleast 2 in a row tbh.. that’s my goal.

admittedly a very easy 3.5, and I initially thought it was a triple but I think I just missed the final rep.  Was a solid double though!  First time I ever did that.

You guys won't believe this, but I once did two reps in a set.

Probably just cardio at that point

Just tested an AMRAP with parallel set on 151# Tetting elite and was able to get 11 reps RH and 7 reps LH.

A 151#, that’s mad strong!

How are you dealing with the #3.5, that’s childs play at this point I assume?

[Lucasraymond]

I think there are multiple protocols that can work but each person needs to test and figure that out and each implement style may require a different training style. I make good progress with friction lifts (pinch, vbar) and grippers using x2 or x3 rep schemes but thickbar doesnt progress as well with that for me.
