Which isn't always a bad thing, it probably keeps me out of trouble. I'd like to by an IM stacker but they really give it to you with their shipping prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even actual firebrick. Supposedly my grandfather could stack 6 firebrick which are 9×4½×2½ inches and 7lbs each and lift them. I sorta have a hard time believing it but multiple people have said he could. Whether he could or couldn't I'm going to do it someday in his honor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks about IM shipping. I know you're on the east coast and they're in Cali so that doesn't help either. I got lucky and was able to buy mine from a Canadian supplier so shipping was like $14.95 CAD. I originally bought it because I was inspired by Herman Goerner and his crazy feats of wrist & hand strength. Then once I started finding out about how effective plate curls were I figured instead of ordering a loadable plate curl device why don't I just use the stacker as a makeshift plate curl device lol. It's an interesting piece of equipment in that it's like a hybrid pinch block+wrist training device. Personally I absolutely love the thing and believe it has helped my lifts. Like @matek said it wouldn't be hard to make one as a cheaper alternative. Edited December 7, 2022 by Bigfoot Grip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningRiot4Fun Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 How do you like the thumb blaster? Have you seen any carry over for your thickbar/rolling thunder lifts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen any carry over for your thickbar/rolling thunder lifts? I'm actually not a huge fan of it tbh. I much prefer using pinch blocks over the thumb blaster. But then again pinch blocks are my fav grip training tool . I haven't used it enough to be able to confirm the carryover to thickbar lifts. I'd imagine there would be some. The 2" or 2 3/8" might carryover more to thickbar but it may depend on your hand size and strengths/weaknesses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Grip Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Jan 10 2023 crush training 20mm Block Set Grippers-1x1 CoC 2*both hands, 1x1 GHP 5*RH, 1x1 CoC 2.5*RH, 1x1 GHP 6*RH, 1xfail SG Fe(135) Feeling decent about these results given I don't train grippers. Previous PR close was the GHP 6 from a MMS so I roughly tied that result. I noticed 20mm block set grippers would be contested at Canadian Grip Sport nats so in the chance I compete I want to know were I fall. I did a bunch of band squats in between the gripper attempts. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepping for powerlifting meets used to motivate me a lot. Thanks buddy. Man those were the days lol. I found alot more went into powerlifting prep. Grip Sport is nice in that its a bit more laid back and easier to train solo for. It would be great if the sport gained some traction in Japan. I've followed a number of Japanese and Korean gripsters and they're very impressive. Good to see you on the mend I never forgot those insane bends! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few really strong blob guys, but grippers and armwrestling are much more popular. 3 hours ago, Bigfoot Grip said: Good to see you on the mend I never forgot those insane bends! Thank you!

But first, I have to DU the Horrido 8.8. I will have my first "bending anniversary" in March, and it would've been nice to finish the 8.8 before that, but I think I will bend in singles for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
