ImpGrip Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 if you bought a country crush would you basically be able to use that for the same reasons as using a wrist developer?? like with single arm picks on it? opinions on both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldmt think do. The wrist developer is a very specific training tool used to beef up the reverse bending style. The country crush is for wrist and grip. Just in a different way.

wobbler Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Totally different things, unless you're into reverse bending (or possibly underhand) skip the wd and work with a sledge or really anything for levering. Loadable DB with weights on one side works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wrist Wrench and the Wrist Developer are two totally different implements. Which one are you looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wrist developer is for bending....The wrist wrench is used for strengthening the wrists for arm wrestling as well as thick bar anti-rotation for lifts such as the inch dumbbell. If your question is whether a country crush or wrist wrench Is better for bending I would say the wrist wrench over the country crush... But I don’t think either of them are the optimal tools for that activity. Bending and sledge Levering Will be helpful as well as the wrist developer. I love the wrist wrench and it does build strong wrists.... but perhaps not in the positions called on when bending. I’m sure someone will jump in and educate me if I am on the wrong track.

Best thing for bemding is bending! You’d kill reverse and DU withyour tremendous wrist strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I mentioned to him about bending being the best thing in a previous post... just like closing grippers is the best thing to close grippers. Had a guy ask me on my you tube what device he should buy to close grippers.... I told him.. GRIPPERS. Haha. I am very curious about what I could do with bending Kapster. Is the consensus though that bending hinders other grip endeavors? Meaning, if you are bending does it inhibit progress with other feats.

I have found difficulty balancing bending and grippers. That being said, lots of really strong guys have held elite status at both simultaneously, Tommy Jennings and Aaron Corcoran come to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I like to be also... not just at grip. He, like myself was strong from day one before ever lifting. Just don’t want bending if I decide to dabble to affect competition style lifts.

People who go balls to the wall and redline every session get hurt. Bending is a lot of fun, card tearing is fun, and gripsport is fun. Personally I am happy to dabble in all of it. I just put the most effort into what contests and goals I have coming up. I certainly would not put up a wall to anything. You obviously have tremendous reverse bending potential, and after all reverse bending is the safest form of bending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate it my man. Kapster keeps nudging me to give it a try and I just might. Just have to have this blasted middle finger heal first. It definitely looks like a cool thing to be good at. That’s why I love sledging so much... the rarity and wow factor of it. I like strength that most of society doesn’t know about or have.

KapMan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The balance is difficult. I cant do much while bending. I dont go balls in with7 bends. I do a couple quick bends and 1 big one. Example: 2-3 grade 5s, or 1/4 round/hex rest 3-4 minutes and then hit like a single grade 8 or a single 19/64 drill rod or a couple 9/32 drill rod. Other times a cut a bar and bend it and thats all I do. As a DU with nerve issues I gotta play it safe. I seem to do fine key pinching and tearing. Grippers not so much. Im trash now. Im happy with my progress, taking it slow and rehab makes a big difference. Im determined to be the next big DU bender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what you are comfortable with and go with. Reas the bending the bending section too. 40 minutes ago, ImpGrip said: iv never tried bending at all i just like to do grip stuff to compliment strongman training ect.. what would be the best way to start bending or cheapest way to try bending something lol to see if i like it. Cheapest way is to get 60D nails. I believe. but bending is specific too. Read the bending board and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my best I would only do one bar twice a week with my current goal and I was still progressing well. Some might need more volume but just start slow and see how it goes.

Wasn’t sure what the volume and frequency of such a thing would be! Actually 2 separate bars. I did one bar twice a week, one bar one day then another fresh one the next until I got it from start to finish within fbbc’s 5 min time rule. After that I’d cut 1/2” off the length and repeat. I’d usually try not to go over 10 minutes on one attempt. 2-3 hard hits on it at a time then catch my breath for a minute or so then repeat. Usually 2-3 days in between each bend attempt just depending on how I was feeling. Sorry for the confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
