Sonny Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I'm really starting to get going on the CoC's with the goal of certifiying. I don't mind that my progress is a little slow because I enjoy the haul of it, and the training is a lot of fun when I know I've got something to work towards. I've been using higher volume training, usually 6 sessions a week. The problem I think is that I am going full out at each session rather than varying the intensity. I can touch and go on the #2, so my immediate goal is to master the #2 and then move on to the #3. That's basically how I got to where I am. I started in August and couldn't even close the trainer. Now I can close the #2, but I'm gonna have to structure my training better in order to get to the #3. Today was the last session of the week, it went something like this. Right Hand: Trainer- 1x5 warm-up #1- 2x3 warm-up #2- 1x1 touch and go close (no grinding) #2- 5x1 cheat closes followed by negatives #1- 3x1 overcrushes (these were hell) In the past, I've been pretty instinctive, I can close the #2, but I'm intent on putting more time into using the #2 to the point where I can domintate it. I remember when I first got the #1 and I thought, "there's no way I'll ever be able to close that!" Now I own that thing! Not too impressive to most, but a big accomplishment for my little chinese hands! LOL Although, part of my domination of the #1 may have to do with the seasoning of the coils! Left Hand Trainer- 1x5 warm-up #1- 1x3 warm-up #2- 1x1 cheat close and negative #1- 3x1 overcrushes My left hand is quite a bit weaker than my right, but it mostly has to do with the coil on the grippers. Tommorow, I'll rest and then go heavy on monday as I start a new cycle! I'm thinking I'll go a little easier and just use the trainer and the #1 on tuesday and wednesday a la Heath!

chrisof4 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 That is great to go from the trainer to the #2 in 5 months! I ordered my CoC trainer a week ago, and it should be here on Monday. My focus is on bending, but I am looking forward to adding the grippers into my routine. Keep up the great work! Keep grippin! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Yeah, I busted my butt to get to this point. But the #2 and #3 are two totally different animals! My hands feel SO MUCH stronger these days! And I've experienced less soreness since using Glucosamine and working the extensors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
