Awesome info on his videos also Once a goes into those weight ranges everything changes real fast. Using weight at that level are seriously no joke. It wants to pull the joints out and you have to fight it. Since making 2 videos on the TTK, I've done many different things with the device.

Yep, still use it; few weeks since it was last used but it's one of the few tools I'm not going to part with. Right now (just tested it out to see what I could do while cold) I can hit 64 lbs. If I was to start back up it take a couple of weeks to get back up to 70+ range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's that high I use both hands. I've done one hand close to 60 lbs but anything over 70 lbs is just insane. Even cheating the weight down is hard.

Yan_Wei Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Is there a more portable piece of equipment that's adjustable which could be used for thumb training? Something that could be put into a backpack for example? Edited November 18, 2016 by Yan_Wei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even cheating. Cheating is a legit way to get stronger. Just don't cheat on certs or in contests 😬 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I finished a prototype one a few days ago that is a different design and doesn't have the side joint loading that the original has and caused me to get rid of it. Looking forward to training this movement now. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would throw some money at a slick thumb training machine. I do on occasion build stuff to order for folks. I just don't advertise due to limited time. This would be something I could do. PM me if you like. I haven't painted the prototype yet but have a couple pics and you could get an idea of how it works from those. Martin drove down from the Phoenix area today and trained with me. He tried out some of the new prototypes including that one and we both had got some good work in. - Aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcottrell Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I have been thinking about the TTK for a while and what could be done better and this morning I decided to play with my kids Legos to make a model of an idea I have had in my head for a long long time.... I just shot my first YouTube video inspired by Jared G. so I can show this idea off to people.

Gabriel O'Keeffe Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Great idea Rich! By open source I think you mean we can all run with that idea? I'm totally building one...somehow. If that's ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Gray Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 This is a great idea and much better design than TTK. I suggest you contact Jared Goguen, actually built one together and get a Patent on it before someone else beats you to it. Wishing you the best in this venture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcottrell Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I am going to start a new thread on The Cine Pinch... as I did not mean to take over this thread on the TTK and it looks like we are moving on to new territory and ideas... rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
