AdriaanRobert96 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Alright so now that I got your attention with that title.. I know there’s not a single best set width, doing all of them surely benefits most of us and with that said.. What gripper set would not help your overall gripper strength? I am pretty sure wider would obviously cover more range of motion, deep sets are good for that end strength but how deep of a set is not helping you? I’ve heard many big gripper closer say that too deep of a set won’t benefit as good. I personally never go deeper than 20mm, my ranges are between CCS and 20mm. What’s ya’ll take on this? (note: I am talking about doing a majority of your work with that set, obviously is it good to press your progression within different ranges). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilBB Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I think that's very dependent on the goal of why you're training with grippers, but what I've noticed is that some of the strongest at grippers use parallel/MMS to build raw strength and then they transition that into wider sets. So I would have to say that ~20mm is probably the "best", but it's also my favorite set so maybe I'm biased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. All sets matter. If you're not strong enough you cant hold the gripper shut. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what the goal is, if you just wanna close the heaviest gripper possible, then there's no set too deep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, well I won’t disagree because I think the same.. was very curious since one of the strongest closers seem to think otherwise.. I guess it’s down to what works for some won’t work for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying it wont have any carryover isn't true. It doesn't matter what set you're using all sets will have carryover to others, it's just different numbers we're talking about. It goes without saying that you need to train the set you want to be the best at. Edited October 16, 2023 by Fist of Fury 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
