November Challenge - Gripper Hold
#The Gripper Hold For Time
Congratulations to u/superdukeiv and u/Onward28 for the best pinches in last month's challenge. u/David_Dennis will post the grip tool random winner.
This month we'll be doing a Gripper Hold for with a 2.5 lb plate.
#Equipment
- CoC Trainer, equivalent, or more difficult torsion spring gripper, reference this table
- 2.5 lb plate
#The Details:
- Pick up a gripper - you may set it with the off hand but handles must be wider than parallel
- Place a 2.5 lb weight plate between the handles, and pinch the plate with the gripper
- Squeeze the handles to keep the plate aloft, and hold there as long as possible until it drops
- Score is total time plate is suspended by handles alone
- Keep the grippers 90° vertical, >30° tilt may terminate your time early
- Watch this demonstration
- Post any questions/conversations here.
##Prizes Top 2 challengers will have special flair in r/griptraining David Dennis of GorillaStrength.us continues to sponsor these challenges. It will likely be another random drawing, so anyone that posts a video could win!
