Left Side Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 Making some real progress here. Choker closes on the #3, at 28mm the handles are parallel, so I'm closing in on a MM set close. My left hand has always lagged behind my right by a long way, but over the last few weeks it has exploded in strength. It went from failing consistently on #2 par set, to closing the RB210 and getting the #2 no set. In the space of about three weeks. After two workouts of choker closes on my hard HG300, (which were 3 weeks apart) I took it out of the choker near the end of this workout and smashed it effortlessly. A wonderful feeling, it had me stymied even when I first started closing my other HG300. Great workout, the #3 finally feels attainable.

Left Side Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Terrible workout today. Can't seem to make progress on pinch. I'll have to try another approach, now to just figure out that approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Have you tried Ansons Bed Bouncing Negatives? Put heavy block weight you cannot lift on bed or other springy surface and use the extra bounce to spring it into the air, and stall/hold it? May help? You know I love Hub lifts... Dynamic pinch?

Left Side Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Pivot up, it's more like a real gripper that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalwartSentinel Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Pivot up, it's more like a real gripper that way. I use mine, pivot down. It hits my index and middle finger harder than the spring grippers... they hit more of my ring and pinkie. Just an overall balance issue for me.
