Closed the COC #2

[Scotsman]

Grip strength is my real weakness, but I did manage to close the #2 on my second try (right handed, left is 1/8" from closed). I am hoping to start up my grip training on a regular basis and close the #3 before years end.

Damn, I can just barely close the #1 with my right. Nice work, these things are much more difficult than I ever imagined.

I never thought they'd be as tough as they are, but I can tell that I am getting a great workout from them. Right now I have: Trainer, #1, and #2. I need to buy the #3 and get started on it.

Last year I bought the number 2 and 3, having never done any sort of grip work. I've got the #3 still in the package

I can do ~5 reps with the #1 and I've played with the #2, so I can safely say that you've got some serious hand strength!

Where did you guys purchase these grippers at?

Thanks, I just purchased the #1. I will soon be on my way to some hand crushing power.

You should get one down from the one you can close so that you can do warmups, too. I have the trainer and #1 and can close the #1 with each hand around five times depending on the weather.

Congrats, Scotsman.

I thought about that, but just didnt feel like spending the extra 20 bucks on a training one. I figure I can do my warmups with some db's or something.

Nice work.....I am planning on making my grip a priority this year as well.

What kind of plan do you have set up for the grippers?

nice.

i closed the heavy 250 gripper, some guy had it at my gym, it was kind of easy... smaller grips and closer together.

Don't have a final plan yet, but I am thinking of doing grip twice per week with a "heavy" and a "light" day. Probably do the lighter work on my deadlift or back day, then do the heavy work on a rest day ie saturday.

I'll post up when I get it all set up.
