I actually still use all of mine for warm ups. I started out at the #1, which is still very difficult to close - I do 10 reps with each hand to warm up. If I had some of the weaker ones I would certainly be up for it though!
speaking of this thread, the #3 is just insanely difficult. I haven't made much of any visible progress since the last video I posted a while back. To put it bluntly, I've reached a plateau and it's very difficult to get past it. I can close the #2 like it is rubber now (and it used to be an epic feat for me) but the No. 3 is just absurdly hard to shut. ALL of my coworkers refuse to believe it's even possible - imagine it being that hard. There are some that I've let try it that can't even move it at all, can't even make it bulge. Things are getting very serious.
The main issue is that you can't fuck around with the No. 3. With the No. 1 and No. 2, I just kind of did whatever I wanted Monday through Friday and took it off on the weekends. With the No. 3, if I do it more than Monday and Friday (just two days out of 7) my hands cramp up and I can't even touch the No. 1, much less 2 or 3. The no. 3 completely rapes your hands and forearms. Very serious business. I haven't given up hope, but I have completely given up on coming up with an accurate estimate of when this will happen - it could be a year from now.
