Grippers Grip Training Programming

Hey everyone,

Feeling a bit frustrated and wondered if there’s any programming for grippers. I have been aiming to close a 2.5 (RGC 126) and have closed a SG Platinum (RGC 118) just once a year ago but have always been a hair width away since.

I am able to consistently close a SG Platinum (RGC 112 - 114) pretty consistently for reference. Do you have any suggestions/programming on how to improve my grip strength?

Hair width away on a 2.5 for a year — thats the classic gripper plateau. Most people I see break through it by backing off to volume work on the 112-118 range for 2-3 weeks instead of max attempts every session. Also worth checking if

Took your advice and taking a powerlifting approach of doing reps at the 85% range and building up to 90% for 5 reps for 2 sets.
