ropsitos Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've been working with the #1 and #2 since around june. Starting out I couldn't close the #1, but I've worked up to being able to close the #1 pretty regularly. I am close with a #2. I have a long drive to work (1hr each way) and i do mine everyday on the way home. 3 sets of 20 with a generic gripper with 3 sets of 20 with the yellow bands. 3 sets of 10 with the #1 and 3 sets of15 with the blue band. I can usually close the first 3 or 4 of a set. Then 1 set of 10 with the #2, and 1 set of 10 with the red band. Recently I turned a wooden wrist rolller and a pinch hub and welded up a loading pin. The wrist roller is very helpful as i think it works a different part of my forearm. The pinch hub is hard as hell. I've noticed an improvement in my shooting, though that could be from a number of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman4561 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I have been working with the T and #1 for a while and am about to order the #2. I can close the #1 10 times in a row. I also use a roller with a 10lb plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have been thinking about setting a 2014 goal of closing the #3 or #3.5 with both hands. But I worry that doing enough grip exercise to get there will result in tendonitis. It’s pointless to work out to the point of injury. I may have to settle with being able to close the #2.5 with both hands and maintain that level of grip strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Listening to the WOD-cast Podcast the other day they were interviewing a Strongman competitor. His experience was grippers alone do not build functional grip strength that one should augment their grip by doing dead-lifts or by dead hanging from a pull up bar. He stated that that build better functional grip from building forearm muscles. Episode here: http://wodcast.libsyn.com/90-kalle-beck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasley Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I started about 10 days ago with the trainer model. The first day I barely closed it once. I did ten reps just now clicking it closed each time with (a little) authority. I'm wondering how much my grip has improved versus how much the springs have worn in. I think I'll order the #1 after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW 10mm Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I would recommend buying them one or two at a time. In my case it took a long time to progress after #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
