My Grip SUCKS!

[skaman607]

I can't even close the COC trainer how pathetic

 

[endpoint]

oh dear.

what do you need a strong grip for?

Is the COC new? If so it will need to be seasoned. After you close it a heap of times i will get weaker and then smooth off......its just the nature of the Steel. so if its new.....dont worry to much.

just start doing negatives on the thing.

use your other hand to cheat it shut and then let the gripper out smoothly.

doing these negatives will season the gripper

static holds own. that and masturbation

Dont beat yourself up too much over the c.o.c's...I know of a guy that can close the #3,that doesnt have a good supporting grip,which in my opinion is more important(I guess it depends on what your goals are though)
The things that I normally do for supporting work are
farmers holds,or walks
barbell deadlift hold
db holds,or walks
weighted hanging holds(one or 2 arms...1 arm hurts alot)
sometimes Ill use the rolling thunder,or come up with something else just for variation.I usually do 3-6 sets,depending on intensity.Ive noticed that when I do supporting lifts,my grip isnt closed as tight as it can around the bar......recently Ive been working on wrapping my grip around the bar as tight as possible,which I think might help on the last portion of cloing the c.o.c grippers.

oh god thank you. Some one else who understands the difference between different types of hand strength!

hahhaha hell yeah thats all the grip work i ever need

 

[ghee]

Rumour has it that Lee's incorporated masturbation into his new 5x5 routine as a core exercise. Film at 11.

 

[endpoint]

oh wow masterbation jokes on a grip/forearm thread.

how funny......

why is it that there has to be AT LEAST one joke about masterbation on these types of threads.

I am guilty......but it kinda got old after 10-20 posts

 

[Lee]

it never gets old. masturbation is the best past time in the world.

 

[Zander1983]

I like farmers walks and snatch-grip deadlifts to help my grip.

 

[MJSbossman]

On my last set of deadlifts, I hold the bar for as long as possible. Helped my grip strength a lot since I started.

 

[Nonerz]

correction...second best! But it doesn't help my grip one bit!

[Lee]

lol, ok best pasttime for me, maybe not for some of you "experiencd" people.

 

[Nonerz]

oh...I hear Alaska has a shortage of women...poor boy!

 

[skaman607]

oh dear.

what do you need a strong grip for?

I just got them from ironmind, so it's like the new toy kind of thing.

 

[coolcolj]

what about your pinch grip?

 

[Nonerz]

second to none!

 

[Lee]

oh...I hear Alaska has a shortage of women...poor boy!

nah we got plenty of women, especially at my school. im just not a horn-dog like most guys. it really doesnt matter to me, id rather wait for a good person, cuz you always remember hte first time.

 

[Nonerz]

awwwwww...karma for your sweetness!

 

[bignate73]

cuz you always remember the first time.

there are numerous forms of "first" time too. first time you connect with someone, vs first time with someone is a whole diff ballgame. good thinking Lee.

 

[skaman607]

wow, look at what I started.

 

[skaman607]

second to none!

What does Nate think of your grip?

 

[The Red Dragon]

From COC grip to masturbation to sex
It was expected

 

[Nonerz]

What does Nate think of your grip?

It keeps him smiling...

 

[endpoint]

Nonerz, if bignate dies, i kill him or you break up.....will you move to australia?


(watch out bignate.......i know your one weakness...diet soda muuuuhahahah)

 

[Nonerz]

too funny endpoint! I've never been to Australia but I hear the barrier reef is amazing. I work for a company that is based in Australia, so we get a lot of Aussies in the office (and they sure do like to drink). Very nice people down under...as you are I'm sure...but I am head over heels in love with Nate! Plus, he can breathe through his ears! What a bonus!

 

[blinddeafmute]

Plus, he can breathe through his ears!

Yeah, but can he wipe the sweat from his brow...........with his tongue?

 

[Nonerz]

can you?
