Brad Prov Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 #2 for 7 reps first time, then for sets of 20-25 within 6 months. Trained for a full year and never closed the #3-(1/16" away) Gave up quite a while ago to focus on other grip strengths...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff T Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 #1 for 5 reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaccord Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Closed the Trainer 10 times out of the package, but couldn't get the #1. Got the #1 about a week and a half later. About two months after that, got the #2 one time. (right hand only) Still haven't gotten it w/ my left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svedberg Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Couldnt close my #1 when i got it, closed it the same night thou, like 5 months later i closed a very easy 3 and now bout 9months from start ive done 5 reps on a easy 3 and 1mm away from closing a RB300N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_lidstrom Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Closed the #2 out of the package and closed the #3 after a half dozen tries. From the first day I tried the grippers to the first time I closed the #4 it was a year and a day. What does closing a #4 actually feel like? It's so immensely hard that I can't understand how somebody can close it without breaking something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagual Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I couldn't close the RB 130 when I got it (around feb 2004), but within a week I did. Then it was slow progress until I started using a hoseclamp for my RB 210, and then my RB 260. I can now close the 210 with a parallell set and the 260 in a hoseclamp set to parallell (on a good day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 What does closing a #4 actually feel like? It's so immensely hard that I can't understand how somebody can close it without breaking something.

SqeezeMasterFlash Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 What does closing a #4 actually feel like? It's so immensely hard that I can't understand how somebody can close it without breaking something.

Patrik_F Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I was very close on the #2, a few millimeters, it was a no set. I am pretty sure I would have closed it with a set. The hardest gripper I have closed is an Elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobue Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I was able to close the #1 for 3 reps. Now I can do a #2 and on a good day the SM. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 closed the #1 first try but not again for 3 days. got it on Xmas and had to try it in front of everybody, boxing day I didn't even want to pick up a fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotenmyoou Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Closed #1 right out the package & closed #2 on my third attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkbone Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I got the T,1,2,and 3 at the same time. I closed the trainer and closed the #1 after a few attempts on the first day. It took me a while to close the #2 but I was not concentrating on crush grip. I started focusing on crushing grip at the end of July and since then I have closed the #3 under the new rules (will be certifying soon), and am very close to closing my new BB Elite.

handgripperman Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I closed a #2 out of the package. Now i can close the #3 on a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulgrim Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 couldn't quite close a #1. I figured out how to set it and closed it. the #2 got closed a couple weeks later, and the #3 a few months after that. There was a lot of off time in between though.
