      Cool started closing the 2.5 with my right and near close with my left. Want to get stronger on it for reps with both hands and when I close the 3.0 and 3.5 that 2.5 should become very light to close. Also using the gd 90 to bridge those last inches and I want to eventually close that dual spring monster at level 6. Have you tried the GD90 my brother?
      Also when you get a chance definitely checkout my videos coach. Blessings and glad you crushed it.

    An official COC close now requires a credit card to be placed between the handles and closed one handed from that point. There's enough extra room to set the gripper with both hands but after it's set the card must fit width-wise between the handles to get certification on each level of gripper.

      It's best for you to start with a gripper you can comfortably close and work with sets and reps. Cause you need to work on technique, especially if you're new. I closed it 4 days after I got it but I've been lifting for 14 years so I was pretty confident I could close it. Hope this helps 🤝

      As much as I love grippers they're the hardest grip tools for me. I closed the 2.5 around 5 days after this video but the damn 3 is taking me well over a year. Everytime I crank up the training with grippers my right forearm gives me problems. Can't have that while competing in powerlifting. So it forced me to slow down

      I did get pain in my brachioradialis in the right arm. I couldn't straighten my arm and close my fist. Had to slow down a lot with my grip training. But I'm certain that powerlifting and intense grip sessions don't mix very well. Especially squats etc. Cause they tend to cause elbow and bicep tendinitis.

And maybe grab a set of those little finger bands for extensions. That helped me a lot too. I was doing a few sets per day in each hand for 2 months or so. In the car at work etc. There's some more stuff like forearm flexion and extension with basic gym gear etc. If you can find some of the shorts I've put up you'll see those as well. Happy to help!
