I got this one from Arm Assasin, very good quality What one is it the loadable dumbbell? What is the handle diameter? Seems like an awesome site to buy from. I hate buying stuff from the US though seems like every time I pay the exchange plus shipping then when it shows up they will make me pay duty on top of everything else it ends up costing me way more money.

I am in Canada. In my last training post I uploaded my loadable inch. Here is the link just in case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwYKOz7OFf0&feature=youtu.be About the Dumbell, It is a 55 cm long, 1,9 inch thickness on the loading area, and the center is 6cm long and 2 inch 3/8 thickness, just like an Inch Dumbell handle. I have bought from Grip n bend Canada, and they gave me a great service in the past. I just checked, and they sell the FBBC loadable dumbell: https://www.gripnbend.ca/product/fbbc-pro-dumbbell/ It's a little expensive, I know. If you need the measurements, in case of wanting to build one with a local welder, I could give you the measurements 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered my grippers from gripnbend have been considering grabbing a pinch block, hub, rolling thunder and loading pin it’s pretty expensive though. plus I work out of town and can’t take it all with me so I wouldn’t get much use out of it. So I don’t know if it’s really worth it for me i would like to see where I’m at and try to build more strength on some other grip implements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strong inch training. Good to get pullups back in, they are such a great exercise. Its been about 6 months for me now.

Maybe you could check ali express, they sell pinch blocks, hubs and loading pin alternatives that do the same job than the branded tools, but half of the price. At least shipped to Chile it is more convenient, maybe it would be the same for Canada.

Good to get pullups back in, they are such a great exercise. Its been about 6 months for me now. I need to get back to them myself. Thank you Paul! Inch training is getting better. I'll do everything to keep being consistent. Also, pull ups are sacred, I like them for my upper body training. I experienced elbow pain and wrist pain due to hammer levers. I did too much too soon. Lesson learned. So next time I'll go slower with weight and reps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days I went out of town with my family, and forgot to bring a crane scale (my post office scale is too big to bring it here). So next week I'll know for sure how much I lifted, and how much should I aim for next session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pancho_grip_lift Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Magic number seven Today I was at the beach, so I did a calisthenics circuit: (7 dips 7 pull ups 7 toes to bar) *7 cycles Lots of fun. Maybe it's time to incorporate more calisthenics into my program. I used to do mainly calisthenics from 2014 to 2016, so my skill will be back in no time.

I think it will be super motivator! I am interested but I don't have the equipment and no venue close by. I think you also have the later problem? Its one thing to drive a couple of hours, another to travel for days and take a day or two off work.

Exactly, we don't have venues in South America so far. In the case of the equipment, I have the little big horn and the finnish ball. So half of the events are covered . I used to do get togethers at my place, so my friends could try my grip tools. And they always loved the finnish ball and the Dube Cube from Grip n Bend Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho_grip_lift Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Saturday's Session Dinnie Lifts 285kg * 4 singles, feeling better than ever Then Backoffs with 230kg, 4 singles Little Big horn My previous best was like 60kg in 2018. I am not very familiar with v-bar lifts, sometimes they hurt my shoulder and wrist so I'll have to study them harder. Since the LBH is one of this year's KK events, I'll give it a try in my routine. On my right hand, I could work my way up to 55kg+ pin+ device (I didn't wanted to bring the scale to the backyard), but left hand gave me a nice surprise. I did a PR with 70kg on left hand, so maybe that will be my strong hand for v-bar lifts, until I figure out the technique with my right hand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
