I'm super weak. I still can't close 1.0! Almost, but not quite. I'm not giving up though. I just ordered the Trainer and the 0.5. I'll have to work my way up to the 1.0. I"m not worried about getting there, as I can already almost close 1.0.
If it makes you feel any better, i got calluses from the trainer and then sore for a few days lmao. Its been about a month now and im able to knock out 15 reps and i do a few sets throughout the day. Were at the same pace!
@jontheoperator6007 I also do most of my grip training with a T. But I also bust out a few reps on my 0.5 and my 1. I've got a 1.5 and a 2 but I haven't opened them yet. Though I do feel I can close them at least once each.
I don't really train specifically for it. Probably it's more a matter of genetics. I play soccer, tennis, table tennis. Very rarely I go to the gym. Or I make pull-ups in the park. You can try with the Nr 2, but doing 10 reps with #1 doesn't mean for sure you can close the #2.
@@cumsafaci6836Thanks for the reply. Yeah , it seems genetics since you don't weightlift or do specific grip training. I plan on getting the coc #2 in a few weeks so then I will see. I can keep the coc fully closed for 23 sec do far maybe that indicates that I have a great chance at closing the #2
@@quintusfabius574 I got my Coc 2 on Nov 23 and could close it to 10 mm and on Dec 9 I could get it to within 2.5 mm. Then I had the flu for 3 weeks so I took a break. Now with my strength back after the flu I tried today and got 2 mm away , so I can almost close it .
I started with 2 and in a weeks time I've progressed but the 2nd week almost no progress. I'm like less than a cm away from closing it but I just don't know the best way to progress and the closer you are to closing it the harder it gets :D. I'm not much of a weight lifter, I went to the gym 3 months in a row and now I've paused for like a month almost is there anything I can do there to help me close the #2?
Try to only train 1-3 grip sessions a week, and get some chalk because it helps with consistency. i would recommend just trying 5-10 attempts with 5 minutes break between all of them so your grip can recover.
@Dribbles I've been like 1-2mm away from closing it 3 days in a row. I'll stop for a few days so I can recover. I'll take your advice a probably will closr it within a week, thanks
Hello! You can try with a smaller CoC and do more and more reps. Also try to keep it closed for as many seconds you can. Another training would be pull ups or hanging on a bar. And remember to leave days for recovering.
I always try to do grippers after some pull ups or curls or some forearm exercises to get a good pump in the arms. It helps me get a stronger grip. Wrist rollers help build up the forearms and give a good pump before trying max gripper attempts
I have the 1coc, and I am able to close it for 5-6rep, but on some days I am barely able to close it for one. My form seems relatively consistent, so what else can be the problem?
Could be a multitude of reasons. How often are you training? Do you have smaller ones to practice/warm up with? Do you have energy? Are you working a labour job that you need grip for?
@@trzz8264 I can rep the 1 now for 17 or 18 times . I have a good chance of closing the 2 out of the box based on iron minds 20 to 25 reps suggestion before moving on to the next level
i just bought a 1.5 with no experience and was able to close it with some hand placement yt vids. is this impressive? only reason i bought it was bec i was always told my grip was crazy in football
I'm also a programmer, not sure if I can close the #2. Can you close it legally with the "credit card check"? :) I can close the #1 25-30 times(right hand). Without warmup just about once with left hand xD.
Yes. You can preclose it up to the width of a bank card (here probably I preclose it even more). Otherwise, almost sure you can't grab it with the little finger.
I can only close the #3 by bracing my arm against my side. I have been trying for years to close it properly. I will keep trying til I either get it or I die.
i have the c0c 1.0 and 2.0 can close both Easly as a girl. have the 2.5 and 3.0 being shipped going for coc certs on those and silver bullet times. Look for me going to crush it all :)
Yes, Jesse, I know that you have to close it from a credit card set if you want to be officially included in the respective grip closers. But the No 2 gripper is not included (not for men). This rule was included later on because there were people that were preclosing the grip with both hands until there was only one cm to go. So they wanted to avoid this, but a credit card seems too much as for many this means they can't grip it with the little finger at all. Anyway, I could close it also from a credit card (much harder) but that was before the quarantine :))
You have no idea what you're talking about. You can set the gripper with your other hand, you just have to make sure a credit card can fit between the handles when you close it... Also, there are different types of closes, CCS, TNS, block, deep set, etc. Maybe when you get past the trainer, we can take what you have to say seriously
just got mine in the mail and this was the first video I watched thanks 👊🏻
Thank you I Just i closed the number 1 nine times during your video
As you are are a programmer, you definitely need a steel-keyborad!

I got 2 and I am able to nearly close it but the ending is so difficult
Even if you close around 80 - 90% of it, it's actually not even close.
This worked for me 👌
Do you have any background like weightlifting or grip training,? What did you do that you can close a 2 so easily? Great job btw in closing it 🙂

I closed a 1 three days after I got it with no previous gripper training. 12 days later I could rep it 10 times. Does that mean I can close the #2?
Why jump to a 2 instead of 1.5 but if you feel good go for the 2

If you can do 17 reps in a row with the #1 I think for sure you can close the #2!

Very impressive. Your above average grip strength brought you to this video. Keep with it. Grippers are great.
That's actually really good! I also closed a number 1,5 first try after watching videos. And now I can almost close a number 3 :) so keep it up dude!
None of my friends can even close the 1 so you should really continue with this, average grip strength is about the coc 0.5
My friend recommended me this after I closed his 2.5 first try. i ordered one to try and get up my strength.
I'm also a programmer, not sure if I can close the #2. Can you close it legally with the "credit card check"? :) I can close the #1 25-30 times(right hand). Without warmup just about once with left hand xD.
Hi! Well, if you can make 30 reps with #1 you should be able to close #2. I could close it “legally“, but now I can't. Must do some training 🙂
It looks like you’re getting it started With your left and finishing the close with your right?
Yes. You can preclose it up to the width of a bank card (here probably I preclose it even more). Otherwise, almost sure you can't grab it with the little finger.
I was able to close a 2.0 first try but not a 1.0 on my left arm lol
Definitely strong for the first time
are half reps good for progresive overloud
Why 2 hands
Is one can close coc 2 and his weight is 80kg
I can only close the #3 by bracing my arm against my side. I have been trying for years to close it properly. I will keep trying til I either get it or I die.
I wonder what's got this programmers CoC grip strength so high.
Practice
@@415Sterling jackoff practice
I´m also a programmer, I can close the 1.5 CoC only for a single rep. Most people can not close the number 1

One and only tip....get stronger.
Что за акцент?
How works your training..
Hello! Well, I haven't trained for a higher one. I am playing tennis and football(soccer) and training for a higher one doesn't get along with them.
You just set it where you said not to set it lol
TIP 1: Have insanely strong hands.
END OF TIPS!
Next time try without starting with two hands.

The strength is there since anyone who trains with these knows that last millimeter is the toughest.
You set your grippers waaaaay too deep. None of your “reps” counted.
Spass
What do you mean way to deep?
