You have really caught the gripper bug, awesome man. You will end up with hundreds at this rate Although my 102 to 113 is a big gap I do have my GHP 5 rated 107 on order still and I've also just ordered a filed coc 2 which was 103 before filing so it should come out at about 109-110lbs maybe but I'll not be able to TNS that lol. The only other gripper I have in between is my COC left turn 2 which is 105lbs but obviously it's for left hands and is tougher on the right, especially to TNS. I don't really use my left turns anymore tbh. I love the back anodised look of them though. Haha I’m already not too far off 100! I have yet to buy a left turn. My left hand is definitely fairly weaker than my right. I can’t even quite close a weak COC #2. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 4 nearly 5 reps on my coc 2 102lbs left so far. My hand Dynamometer readings are similar left to right so strength wise they are pretty much the same. 32 minutes ago, IzzyGrasp said: Thanks!

I also very nearly closed a 100 RGC COC #2 with TNS, but couldn’t quite do it. Nice work, that's a big jump in CCS strength! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa man that is crazy, I've only got 24 so far with 2 on order. You are a gripper addict they sure are addictive. How much of a difference do you think it makes? Just out of curiosity. Like, how much more resistance can you handle with your left hand with it being a left turn gripper compared to normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my most recent 125 RGC close was my first orange one that I closed. They are my own made up barriers, but it still feels good to break one! Can’t wait to break the 150 red barrier with a COC #3 someday! God willing. haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IzzyGrasp Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 UPDATE: I was on a 5-day trip and didn’t touch any grippers during that time. I just got back and closed my toughest COC #2.5, rated 128! My previous PR was a #2.5 rated at 125. My next goal gripper is a Tetting Super Master rated 130! I also did CCS with 111 RGC, and TNS at 103 which are both new records for me. MMS: COC #2.5 // 128 RGC (CPW) CCS: Grip Genie 4 // 111 RGC (CPW) TNS: COC #2 // 103 RGC (CPW) Bench press: 245 lbs Age: 26 | Height: 6’1” | Weight: 203 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some significant disparity between the two. haha Both are progressing, but my left is likely to be 20 lbs or so behind. I work them similarly, but with different grippers of course because my left is behind. My left is approaching where my right was in June-July I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
