climber511 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It's a pretty simple machine to make. Print off a picture of one you like and take it to a weld shop - I'm sure they can make it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't pay a tax in the EU on products purchased? Wow!

Aleksandar Milosevic Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I think it's a lot easier to find a welder to make one for you, it's not complicated at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have a normal grip machine but he has two others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the cross one si crazy expensive compare to the rest of the market unfortunatly and the other one work more like a gripper, i want straight bars.

Mateus Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Don't buy a grip machine. It kills your fingers. Ask Gabriel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 http://atomicathletic.com/store/index.php/new-products/atomic-athletic-aftermath-sniper-grip-machine.html This is the only grip machine I still own (and I've had all of them). I made mine to use two handed if I wanted. The guillotine style machines just do't work all that well in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super nice, one of the hand hold is a crimp right ? seem like it would transfer to climbing much better. Less fan on the mono finger ones, a workout must take an eternity if you have to do each finger one by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Climbing is why I like it. I don't do much one finger work - more often two finger pairings. Mine has two "finger holds" so I tend to do more two hands back - one hand negative holds and returns. I like this machine a lot for climbing related grip work - it's easier to use than a hangboard - not as good as a handboard in my mind but still fairly specific to climbing related finger training.

Do your shoulders limit your finger training? At 200# the hangboard does mess with my old shoulders - but I still use the hangboard on a rotation in my yearly program. I have found that the machine work hits my hands differently and I can get a level of control for single or double finger work that even my deload setup doesn't offer on the hangboard. At 70 and with 60 years of lifting, 35 years of climbing, and 15 years of doing competitive grip sport I do find myself pretty beat up. I am constantly looking for options that offer different ways to stress my climbing muscles that spare other climbing related joints and muscles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
