I have recieved a puny set of no.1 coc, and was wondering if anyone had some interesting set rep routines. I am currently on 4,4, 2,2 and then i flake.
What about isoemetrics, stagered negatives or any other.
if this has been done before, please redirect me to another thread.

When I read this, I started to laugh!
Has it occurred to you that the #1 might be TOO easy for you? Step up to the #2.
If you doing that many reps with the #1 please move on to something bigger and better - the #2 or even the #3.

um, i think he means that he does 2 sets of 4 reps, then 2 sets of 2 rep. I can do somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 reps split up over 3 sets ( like 12,10,8 or 10,7,7 or so) in my right hand with the #1 and I cant close the #2 even once, I think it’s very likely that the #1 is NOT too easy for him.
As far as answering the original question, i usualy do a set with my left, a set with my right, a set with my left, rest and then start with the left again; this is because my grip is way weaker with my left, so i’m trying to get added volume. I usually take each set to failure, i wait a while, like 5-10 min in between each set. Right now I only do grip once a week, as i want it fresh the rest of the time. i have no idea if all this is a good idea or if it works, ive only just started trying it
many thanks.
it’s my gripo that is puny, not the crusher.
any tips on carpal tunnel. my hand gets pins and needles now and again.
anyone experience this.
I’ve heard carpal tunnel can be caused by training the hand and wrist flexors extensively and neglecting the hand and wrist extensors. Try to workthe antagonist muscles with the same volume, or even more until you even things out.
Try holds with something inbetween the handle ends. Tape two quarter (or the English equiv.) together or some washers and squeeze the handles closed on them. Time how long it takes before your grip gives and they drop.
Another good one is to hold the gripper upside down and close it. It increases the intensity for the fingers closer to your thumb.
Yeah, something I was wondering here. My grip’s gone up lately, I suspect as a result of both using the CoC grippers more regularly and doing pullups daily. Right now I can get 10 reps on the #1 for my first set. At what point do you think I should invest in a #2? When I can get maybe 18 or 20?
You should get a #2 now and start doing negatives with it.
How hard is the coc n1 compared to HG 100?
I’m about to order the 5-pack of HG grippers, I’ll let you know when i get them.
