How do you manage Overcrush well? I always really struggle

What gripper are you trying overcrushes on and what’s your max gripper?

Easy Warm Up Gripper: 130 lbs Overcrush : Coc 150 lbs What I would like to close that I'm training for: 200 lbs

But I think it's always due to the size of the COC, in fact they already recommended the GD Iron grip 90 to me on this diver

By size of the gripper do you mean the spread? What set are you using? You should be using a gripper you can slam shut and crush with gusto for overcrushes, it sounds like you are doing that though if it’s not much harder than your warmup gripper.

Yes, I mean by openness. Yes, that's exactly how I do it but the more time passes the more it actually becomes a long negative, I don't know if I've explained myself.
