MASH MONSTER

Things are going well. Last night was another one of "those" nights. I wasn't really planning a workout, but decided to do grippers and managed 5 out of 6 solid closes on my MM1 Replica. I almost crapped my pants!

Grippers

• HG150 xbunch
• #1 x3
• #2 x2
• HG300 x1
• Adjustable BBGM x2 (I don't think I've tried to rep this before)
• IM #3 x1, I've never had a #3 close feel so easy and solid
• MM1 Replica, 6 attempts, closed, closed, closed, miss, closed, closed. VIDEO OF ATTEMPT #6

Most of the closes felt really good and solid. Attempt 6 almost ripped the callous off my palm. This is a replica that I bought directly from Warren and the handles are pinned, not adjustable. I've had it for a while and have never been closer than about 1/8". The calibration was 158#. Knurling is friggin sharp.

I am currently signed up for the MM1 at the Gripboard, but probably won't get my turn until July or August because of the roster ahead of me. But now I have no doubt I will be ready by then.

I can't say enough about the difference it has made to give more focus to all-around hand strength. I am positive my gripper PRs are the result of my pinch, RT and wrist workouts. That and some good-ole-fashioned hard work!
