NOTES: I figured I'd hit some volume work to change it up. I'm glad I did...it revealed a major lack of strength and endurance in my hands...especially my left. I think I'll be going back-and-forth between max effort and dynamic effort workouts, Westside style. I haven't gotten it fully worked out in my head yet, so stand by. I will say this; the pump from volume training is like nothing else for me. My forearms and hands were like iron when I finished this workout.
New news...I got a CoC #2.5. It's a great little gripper - I easily closed it right out of the package, but it's going to be a great training tool to get me smashing my CoC #3. Strap holds and over-crushes are forthcoming with my new 2.5! Thanks, G!
Can You Close #3 Gripper Without Serious Strength Training?

Question: Can you close big grippers like the #3 or #3.5 without also
doing training devoted to developing strength?

I really like the idea of volume training. It seems as if that would produce a HUGE pump at the end of the workout. Def something I am going to give a try tonight! Also, I was thinking of un-choking my #3. Being that I can't even move it, taking the choke off might force me to learn to set it. Therefore, building up the strength in my hands that way. This is an idea I had last week when it seemed impossible for me to crush my #3. Crushing the #2.5 is something that I should be able to do in a short amount of time. You will be the first to know when that happens, HAHAHA!
