Some tips on how to close Heavy Grippers

[@InkTechnique]

Your voice is extraordinarily pleasant to listen to. Good tips too!

Thanks! 😁

Thank you "Bamboo Training". I think this was only a CoC#1.5 in this video. Card Closes and "No Set" Closes are becoming very popular at the moment, especially with the current certification rules by IronMind, which in my opinion do not encourage proper gripper closing technique, so a lot of people are confused about how to close them properly. I hope this helps you with your gripper goals!

Great video thanks. I have a question though. When closing a gripper with your left hand, is it better then to anchor the more bent side into the back of your left hand?

[@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031]

Hi, that is a good question! I usually flip the gripper round so that the flatter side of the spring is in the hand (like in a right hand set-up). Try both and see what you think. It would be interesting to have your opinion

thank you amazing video! i am training to close a 250 pound griper i can almost close it. any tips to close it to the end?

[@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031]

Hi, I recommend 'choking' the gripper handles to a parallel position to practice just the end of the close.

Same here That‘s what I‘m looking for

[@kylehardy2235]

I can’t work out which side of my gripper is ‘curved’ and which side is ‘straight’. Does this apply to all grippers? I have a powerball gripper.

[@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031]

Good question! The "flat side" of the spring may not be as pronounced on some brands of grippers depending on how they wind the spring.

[@kylehardy2235]

@@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031 Thanks. I think I’ve worked out which side is more ‘curved’. One side ever so slightly comes out a bit further.. the space in between the final spring, that is. maybe less than a mm, but it’s noticeable on all the Powerball grippers. So I assume that is the curved side.

Thank you for your tips. I'm trying to close CoC 2.5, but I'm still a long way from it. Is it good to train 3 times a week? How often do you train ?

[@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031]

Papillon_bleu I would only train grippers one or two days per week because it stretches the tendons somewhat, which affects other Grip disciplines. I train Pinch Lifts (Key Pinch, Pinch Blocks, Claw Grip Lifts) and Supportive Lifts (Thick Bar) every day of the week

[@Ronnie220183]

OK, thanks for the response.
