UPDATES

Update #1 – Vulcan Pricing

I have received a note from David Horne – he could not get back to me yesterday because it was his little girl Lucy’s 5th birthday – HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!!! But I should have info from him next week on the Vulcan Gripper Shipping situation!

Update #2 – Reader Question

I received a question in the comments from Ken, who writes…

Jedd, Thanks very much for the vlog. I now understand how it compares with the Ivanko Super Gripper. What kind of range of difficulty is available on the Vulcan? What is the easiest level (cf. the Guide in the Captains of Crush series), if I want to do very high reps? Ken

The Vulcan will accomodate you, Ken, no doubt about it. At its lowest setting with the Gold Spring, it feels like less than a #1 to me and I can click off reps so fast it sounds like an old-fashioned typewriter, clickety click click click – Just never have to slide that big long piece back to the left when you reach the end. Also, at the toughest setting the feels like you are trying to squeeze a slippery moss covered rock. It covers just about the entire full range of available Grippers on the market. Hope this helps. More updates to come as they materialize! Jedd

I hope you had as much fun on Independence Day as I did.

Let me tell you a quick story about what I did yesterday.

My family always gets together on the 4th of July to play lawn games. Over the years, we have played bean bags, horse shoes, even ladder golf, but this year we played something different – Kan Jam!

For several hours yesterday afternoon I played Kan Jam. Kan Jam is a game where you throw a big yellow frisbee disk at black cylinder (the Kan) for points.

Sounds pretty stupid, but it’s a ton of fun.

The cylinder reminds me of one of those flat plastic sleds I used to sled on when I was a kid back in the 80′s, rolled into a cylinder shape. It has an open top in it and a slit in the side.

If you hit the “Kan,” or if your partner helps you in hitting the Kan or getting it into the Kan, you get points. If you throw it into the “Kan” via the top opening or the slit, unassisted, it is an automatic win. My partner threw it through the slit unassisted 3 consecutive times yesterday. This has to be a record somewhere.

Right now I want to tell you about what I feel will be an automatic win for my Gripper Training.

In order to keep my gains going, I have to constantly be tweaking my gripper training.

I network with some of the best grip competitors in the nation every time I compete in order to pick their brains about what they are doing differently that I might be able to steal and use in my own training.

One of the things I have been doing this year is what I call Gripper Drop Sets.

I first learned about Drop Sets when my primary focus for weight training was bodybuilding. Drop Sets involved hitting one exercise and then immediately moving to another exercise. I recently decided to try and apply this concept to gripper training.

With Gripper Drop Sets, I grab two grippers. One is on the heavier side and the other is on the lighter side. I hit the heavier gripper first and then immediately come in with the lighter one.

Here’s a short video clip showing you what I mean.

You can do this yourself with a pair of grippers, or even more than that. You can set up an entire line of grippers and just go down one after the other from heaviest to lightest or the other way around.

What innovative techniques are you working on with your gripper training? Post below in the comments and let me know.

All the best in your training,

That’s the first line of this video clip. And that was my initial thought when I saw it featured in my Recommended Videos when I logged onto YouTube, clicked on it, and saw the views it’s gotten – over 37,000! Awesome!

Lots of chilling moments in this clip – Grip Feats, PR’s, and just plain sick, raw, powerful training. Check it out:
