Another thread just started on the gripboard about seasoning. Apparently some are worried that they are not getting stronger with a new gripper because the gripper is getting weaker as they work with it. It only took one response to get to the 100 rep foot stomp, bend spring solution.
Look people, stop being fuking morons. If you are not closing the #3, it is because you are not strong enough. It is not because Ironmind sent you a #3 that is harder than anything in the universe. AND STOP JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON THE GRIPPER.
