BigTone Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Paul, Awesome video, sitting here on the floor watching this video on my laptop after working on the things you mentioned in the video about halfway through I was able to crush my #2, which I've been struggling with after pulling my grippers out of the closet after almost a year. I'll work on this with my left hand and hopefully my #2 will fall in that hand soon as well! BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Parker Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nice video paul, I just went from level 11 to level 12 on the vulcan with that set video and was able to get level 11 ccs on video to send to david for the cert list. Thanks for sharing, in a lot of sports guys won't share their secret because they don't want others to do as good as them. Not so in grip, which makes it a great thing to do. Thanks for being one of the guys that makes the sport better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kogba Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well done Paul, an excellent video for the newbies(like me). Maybe some day, I'll manage to close the grippers you have closed... (right now it seems light years away, but I don't intend to give up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benedikt Farsmann Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Paul, I'm not sure if you're using them but maybe you could do a video about setting IMTUGS as well? Would be great! Thanks! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nice vid Paul, maybe now I'll close my filed #3! I never thought of using my chest to set the gripper; I was key pinching em'! I'll let you know how it turns out the next time I train grippers. BTW- Was that a #3 you were TOYING with during the video? Probably was.......you suck!

MarkSTL Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks for this! I watched your vid last night, and today I closed my #1! I got it last week, and couldn't close it. I'm a total grip noob, and I had no idea what setting a gripper was, but I'm really glad I opened this thread! This is the first gripper I've had in years, and the first one that wasn't a cheap plastic one from Sports Authority. I know the #1 isn't a big deal, but I'm thrilled to be able to close it. Now I'll work on the left hand, and start getting some reps in, and maybe order the 1.5. Thanks again! Huge help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico300zx Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 thanks mighty joe for the compliment, yea i thought the "set" was for people who were working toward a no set or wanted to cheat a little. i see the set as a "bench shirt" sorta. anyone agree? rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a MMS will allow you to close a gripper well above one that you can TNS. However, the way I see it, no matter how small your hands are, you can probably get all your fingers around a gripper when its handles are parallel. I think this kind of levels the playing field for everyone. Training TNS is still important, but if you have any desire to climb the MM ladder (maybe you, maybe you don't), then you will need to include MMS in your grip training in order to reach your full crushing potential. Plus, there are other ways to help develope your sweep. If you think that MMS-ing a big gripper is cheating, then you need to think about where you are posting. Good luck with your training.
