Just closed the Number one COC gripper 15 times with right hand. New PR from 11. Figured Id post it up. Look forward to closing the Number 2 soon. Strange thing is I can barely close it once with my left hand.

Awesome work. If I were I'd definately get into that KTA program bro. It takes some masochism to enjoy it, but that's why I think you'd thrive on it

ThanX brother!!!! Hows your grip work been? Last I saw you destroyed the number one like a joke!! haha Ive just been messing with it alot on and off. Just like it says not to do on the package! haha Im in no rush really, but its nice to see some progress. You definately got me considering that KTA program! A little masochism now and then can be good
. Ill probabally wait til I stall for a rediculous amount of time, then maybe try the program. ThanX alot brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!Walking Beast, you're a savage in all your compound exercises, but I'm glad that I can beat you on grip. haha
I can rep the #1 about 25 times, and I just can barely close the #2.
Good work though, grip training is addicting. I want to close the #3 one day, I won't even try to get the #4!

Awesome brother!!!! Your inspiring me to pick up that Number 2!
This is my first time ever training for crushing grip and its getting really addicting. Cant even put the thing down while Im in front of the computer. haha. I dont use it everyday, but when I do its alot!
My crushing grip has always been weak, and want to change that!
The No3 and No4 sound fucking tough. The weight jumps are huge!!! What is the difference like between No1 and No2? Sounds big but possible soon. No3 and No4 are just freaky sounding! Would love to close them one day. Go KILL that No2 for reps and then onto No3!!!!!!!Dont underestimate yourself either, you just might close No4!!!! ThanX for the inspiration and compliment!
Also just a few questions to those who use the grippers:
Do you let the handles extend out all the way when repping, or only about 3/4's ? I dont let them extend fully, but do close them fully.
Also..Anyone else have the problem of one hand being MUCH stronger then the other? Any suggestions on correcting the imbalance? Doesnt bother me too much. It is strange though. I can close the gripper 15 times in one hand and only about 2 in the other! ThanX!!!!!

Beast, I usually just do singles...so therefore, yes, the handles extend out all the way between reps.
Everytime I've seen the #3 repped in videos it looks like they only let it open 1/2 way.
The dominant hand is always much stronger, probably due to its higher work demand from everyday activities. It is possible to even them out. Try to work your weaker hand more often. Pick up the gripper once a day with that hand and do 2 reps, or as many as you can do as it strengthens.
In preparation for closing a #2, you can begin shifting your grip up the handles slightly so that you lose leverage. Trying to slam the gripper shut without using your other hand to help set up is also good.

ThanX everyone!! Glad to see Im not the only one! Feels like Id lose my hand position if I extended fully. ThanX again!!!!!
