Building, building, building.....
After some distractions that forced me away from my training, I am so pleased to be back to the gym and focusing on rebuilding and shattering some very specific grip goals in late January 2016. I am eager to rebuild and continue moving forward with competing, being a business owner and enjoying the off season for my minions while they get back into the gym, work with their coaches and make every training day count.

Jedd was super kind to send me a giant bag of grippers to help bridge the gap to assist with my certification on the COC 2.5. I truly believe this has been my missing piece. I jump from an RGC gripper rating of 106 up to 143, so there is a LARGE margin I am missing.

Went to gym without grippers, did them in evening…

114.9 x 0 ¼” or so

110 x 0 ¼” or so

106 x 0 Shut it down, clearly not able to hit my targets.

Filed Gripper – I had nothing left to attempt this.

My grip was completely shot. It's obvious I have some work to do.
