Roark Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 By this time next year (and I asked Miss Cleo about this) there will be very little talk of #1, #2 etc. There will be acknowledgement as Wannagrip indicated in another post of 300 ip or 400 ip etc. After all, if you close a gripper which measures 400 inch pounds, does it really matter if it is a #3 or #4 ? What if the 400 ip gripper you closed happened to be a #2 by some fluke? Are you going to tell people you closed a #2, or will you mention the 400 ip ?

AP Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 that's about how hard my #2 seems like... all this talk of guys closing their 2's out of the bag and doing 10 reps i thought i was behind because it took me quite a few months to close my 2. but after borrowing a freind's #2 and repping it (feels like a 1.5 to me) i don't feel so bad.. my 2 is probably not 400ip but is much tougher than my master and not much easier than my 3... go figure...

Sybersnott Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 AP, Tell me about your #2. When did you get it, and was it from IronMind? todd xxxx sent me his gripper, and I sent it back to him after evaluating it (very interesting). Please fill me in on the details!

AP Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 I bought it about a year ago from im and it took me maybe 5 months to close it (with some layoff's in between). i was able to grind the handles once and have gotten some singles with it. the handles are 77-80mm apart (way wide!) even wider than my master. what is surprising is that all of the im grippers i bought btw late 99 and early 2000 (t, 1 and #2) are extremly wide like this and difficult...for comparison (i know you don't like reps but hey) i can do about 6 consecutive reps with my master, and got my #3 to about 1/2" on my first try with it. this is about equal to 1 rep on my 2... my friends #1 and #2 are both narrow and easy compared to my grippers.. how does todd x's compare to mine?
