acorn Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Trained a little last night for the first time in ages. Having some back trouble still that I picked up on vacation starting about 3 weeks ago (never ending spasm between shoulder blade and spine that radiates pain and tightness through whole left side front and back). Last night pain levels were down some though and I thought some stretching and light rows might help.

I will have to get video of the new crane scale in use. Just came in yesterday. This is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GCG6BPE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This was a couple years back with the tool before I built the current control box. Thinking of calling it The Last Word Gripper System. Will grab some more video next time I use it. Have done a good bit of work on an adjustable tension air spring system to use with it too.

I think once in the last couple of weeks. Was using the above tool and doing explosive close and immediately triggering the eccentric. Totally brutal. Have not done Kettlebell bouncies in awhile though. Those would be my other go-to for gripper based plyometrics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Wow, that thing looks amazing and I'm jealous. I'm not even the biggest gripper fan but I feel like I need that in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
