I was doing some work with my CoC gripper today and I noticed that if I took literally a second to re-grip after each close, I could perform substantially more reps per set with relative ease. I want to know if any of the more experienced folks in here have run into this and if that's a decent enough way to approach the training.
What I think is happening is that I have very small hands and the gripper becomes "unset" after the first close, and so I'm kind of trying to wrestle the thing back into position while I perform each rep. When I instead take the moment to reset the gripper, I put it into the optimum position so I can give it a good squeeze and so I'm much more efficient. To me, it seems like a no-brainer but my brain has been known to be wrong -- think Tiajuana whorehouse and you get the picture. Is that practice robbing me of some of the training benefit or is it letting me train the thing I want more effectively?
What say you smart people?
