Octogen Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hey guys, I've been lurking here since i got my CoC #1 and #2 a couple of weeks ago and decided i'd post as soon as i had something worthwhile to ask. I skipped buying the trainer and i've been working on the #1 and #2 for about two weeks. Tonight at work i managed to close the #1 with both right and left hands. My question is how long do you think it should take me to progress from the #1 to closing the #2 ( i can get the #2 down to about 30mm with either hand) To round out my grip training i'm also doing some pinch gripping with a homemade plate loading pinch block. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 There's no answer to this question : for some it took days for others it took monthes. Are you in a hurry, did you bet something or what ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Amaury is right - the real answer here is: "Who knows??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianders1 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'm wondering the same thing, myself. I just tried the #2 for the first time this weekend, and it felt like starting over again! I think that if I concentrated on it and nothing else, I could probably get it in a few weeks, especially if I did KTA. I'm more interested in getting stronger overall, so it may take me longer, but I'm in no rush. It took me several hard months to close the #1, and for me, the secret was more rest, overcrushes and negs, and really working on the last 2 fingers with plate pinches. My goal is to no-set close the #2 sometime in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octogen Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks for the feedback. I guess i will just have to keep working on it. I have to say its great to find a board like this, I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable about fitness but every time i find a forum like this i'm reminded of how much i still need to learn. BTW does anyone know of any Australian Captains of Crush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Hansford Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 It only took me 3 weeks to go from #1 to #2, but its different for everybody. I know their is at least 1 CoC from Australia, But I think it could be as high as 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
