Pinch gripping on the lat machine


Roark

Recommended Posts

Those of you interested in pinch gripping. Have

you ever used a 2 x 4 or 6 piece of wood with an 'eye

hook' screwed into it, fastened it to the lat machine

cable, and performed various pinch movements with

it?

I plan to make one soon and try it, with 30" length

for the 2 x 4 being adequate for using both hands,

and, of course, pinching in the middle of the board

for single hand movements.

Has anyone tried this; is it beneficial?

It'd make a #### of a noise when you reached failure and lost your grip  :0

Probably train you well if you were looking to do pullups when gripping rafters.

Finding a piece of landscaping wood in my garage,

I made an attachment for the lat machine. The wood

is that type used around the edge of a flower garden-

rounded on opposite sides, but with two other sides

flat and parallel with rough hewn sides, excellent, non

slip surface, and the curved part fits the hand perfectly,

unlike a 2 x 4.

I drilled a hole from curved side to curved side, put

an eye-bolt thru it, nutted it, and now it's ready for

the S hood of the lat machine to fit ito it. For one hand

gripping, I may have to file down the nutted side so the

nut is recessed and not 'jabbing' into my palm (using a

shorter eye-bolt, of course.)

Haven't tried it yet but I am thinking it may be an

aid to plate curls as well because when curling with the eye-hook forward, the force with want to tip away from the

thumbs, Anyway, I won't have a chance to test it until

I get a shorter eye-bolt.

Patent is not pending.
