Grippster Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well congrats on that close. Closing a gripper you couldn't close before is... a NICE feeling. Especially if it's a random day and you didn't even think you'd be able to close it. I'm so damn close to my BC300 now, it's gonna feel good to get that bugger shut.

taekwondo911 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Nice and easy on the 1.5 the 2 is shakin !!!! Yeah the no.2 is still in the package! The problem is that I want to shut it in my first attempt but I dont think that I can wait until I get several reps on the 1.5 Edited September 2, 2008 by taekwondo911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowermdw@yahoo.com Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yeah the no.2 is still in the package!The problem is that I want to shut it in my first attempt but I dont think that I can wait until I get several reps on the 1.5 Don't wait, because I was "saving" my #2 for that day where I would just shut it. I did all kinds of grip training, but it wasn't until I incorporated the #2 in my training that I closed it with my right hand. I still have a little bit to go with my left.

I'll give it a rest and then come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grippster Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You can rest for a week and then start training with the KTA :rock It's so easy to overtrain grippers. You promise yourself to only do 5 sets today, and then rest for 2 days and you end up doing like 8 sets and then the next day your hands hurt like hell but you still can't put it down lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grippster Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Well it's ok actually, I read a sticky in the gripboard about a training routine, and the author said that people worry more about overtraining than undertraining, which I think is true. What I do now is a ton of sets for 2 days in a row, then rest 1 day, and then 2 days again with loads of sets. What I also do to is after I max out on all the grippers, I wait a few minutes and then I try my hardest on the 300lb gripper. I think it's working because my hands feel really good afterwards. Man I love the gripboard. Edited September 6, 2008 by Grippster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I love the gripboard. you have to make yourself busy, do another activity in rest days. left weights/ do cardio / take up martial arts the important thing is to do something else in rest days.

Grippster Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Ya I do lift weights 3 times a week. I find with the rest of my body it is beneficial to give a day of rest in between workouts, but your hands seem to come back fast so I train them more often. Anyways good luck man on closing the next COC gripper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
