Clarencuzio Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hey, just thought I would introduce myself. I'm 24 years old, and currently working on a degree in finance and possibly a minor in spanish . I have been weight training on and off for a few years, but earlier this year finally found a way that I can be more consistent and dedicated to my training. I recently decided that I wanted to improve my grip strength so I bought the coc T and #1, really want crushing grip, I have never trained grip before, I also went and registered for the KTA program. Anyway, I am more of a browser than a poster so I will most likely lurk the boards daily and maybe throw in some feedback or progress reports as I go along, but glad to be here just the same. Just a quick question though for those on the KTA program, I can close my coc T with both hands, and almost close my coc #1 (maybe 1/2 inch short with either hand). Should I buy the coc #2 and #3, the #2 for negatives now and the #3 when I'm working to close the #2 after I get the #1 or should I work the #1 till I can dominate the T? Are there some other type of gripper (beefbuilders or the pda's...seen a few) that may be better (just looking for opinions)?. Once I get the #2 I'll look into buying the #4 or equivalent. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 nice to have you abord, congrats on that trainer, but if your still 1/2 inch away on the number one i would at least wait intell you can close that by wprking hard on your trainer, the 2 is quit a bit harder then the one...and the 3 is a real beast. forget about the 3 and 4 for now...imho. just for refrence clarincuzio....i can do the #2 about 10 times but can only get to 1/2 inch on the 3....so if you need to get one more go with a 2 at most. but be warned it will feel like a beast intell you get that one at least 10 times.

FbaLLPlaya_53 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Welcome! Good luck with KTA, you wont be disapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griparn Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I would buy #2 if I were in your clothes. I think its good to train your hands with negatives. Because when you have trained with one harder gripper for a while the easier gripper will feel MUCH easier....I think it's like fooling the your body Good luck with your training, I want to read about your progress!

Bill Piche Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Welcome! Buy the #2 for now. You'll need a 3 when you are going for the 2. Maybe a tweener before that. Get one of those from Warren Tetting. I'd buy the #3 if you have the money now to save shipping. It'll be up next as a goal quickly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 You'd probably like the Super advanced. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmmicklabs Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 You need to master the trainer before you start worrying about the # 1. Get a BB Super Advanced for Negatives for KTA only after you can grind the handles on the Trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarencuzio Posted May 16, 2004 Author Share Posted May 16, 2004 Well, today I closed the #1 with my left hand, closed it with my right about a week ago. I still don't have the #2 and#3 coc's yet, but will get them soon I hope. Not sure of how much I can attribute closing the 1 to increase in strength or the "seasoning" of the gripper, but I closed it and I feel good about it . The biggest thing I noticed since I first got the grippers is how easy the trainer feels now when I close it. My roommate could close them both when I first got them so I'm going to have him see if they are any easier for him to close now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Buena suerte con el entrenamiento del agarre, y tambien para el Minor de Espanol! Creo que es buena idea comprar, ahorrita, por lo menos el numero 2 y el numero 3. Tambien seria inteligente buscar otros grippers de Warren Tetting. El produce muchos grippers de niveles de fuerza diferentes, que caen entre los numeros 2 y 3 y 4 de los de Ironmind. Otra vez, buena suerte, y bienvenido al Gripboard. El lider mundial de entrenamiento para el agarre. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishred Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 not really sure what jedd is talking about, but if you have the money get the #2 and 3 just for the hell of it. I just got the #1 and 2 a few days ago. I can close the 1 a few times with each hand but am short with the 2 about a half inch. I use the 2 for negatives. I'm gonna order the #3 just for kicks.....i know it will be harder, but I'll do negatives on that also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
