climber511 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Shrug - question about negatives - I've often wondered if negatives work better when you start fatiged or somewhat fresh. Fresh, you can use greater weights on the negatives (at least in the beginning sets); with the sets and reps you do before starting the negatives, are you fatiged or just "warmed up". Your comments on negatives appreciated - and anyone elses too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHRUG Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 I do my negatives on a seperate day from grippers. For example I am going to do 20 sets of negatives today along with 17 singles on my hard thumb clamp. I did 10 sets of negatives yesterday simply because I had just gotton my grip machine and I could not wait to use it. The machine is something that my training partner and I are using to help us crush the #4. I can not say anything else about it other than you have never seen anything quite like it and it puts all other grip machines to shame. You will see it in video soon enough.

Clay Edgin Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Shrug, I think it would be worthwhile to put how close you were to closing the gripper so you can better chart your progress. For example: Hard RB 260 feels like a good elite - attempt (1/8") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHRUG Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 Oh sorry, that is a great idea. I did not even think to post that while all along I have been keeping track of how far I close the gripper. Oh well I will include that from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
