I usually ignore the haters but was a bit fired up hearing nonsense 2 days ago(some D-bag thought my thumbless WW was nothing special) from a egomaniac hater, LOL. BTW, you are doing great with your grip and I enjoy your workout log! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering your wrist strength and this crazy heavy thumbless work, you cupping strength for armwrestling must be insane. Thank you!

I took heed(Marco and DH) very early on in my grip journey and worked on wrist strength to somewhat compensate and just as important worked my fingers directly. Thanks again and even crazier part is my hand span(thumb to pinkie) is only 8 1/8" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I have learned so much from Gripboard too - especially Chez(grippers routine) Iam on computer all day and have multiple monitors and GB is always on one. I don't arm wrestle but my buddy does ( weighs 190) can DESTROY me on Wrist Pronation and flexion but I get him on Wrist supination, extension, ulnar and radial deviation. I do FGX 90 degree holds and dogbone holds from Rogue fitness so I think my cupping could/should be pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, the pronation of good toprollers is crazy. My pronation is not bad, but I don't have any strong people around me and being able to toproll my friends gives zero indication about my strength. My hands are relatively big although nothing crazy (8"), but my wrists are really small (7") so I feel like I have to make the tendons around it super strong to be good in gripsport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) 101 LB THUMBLESS Wrist Wrench! My goal starting out in January of this year and got it 2x this A.M. - did not go out to garage this A.M. expecting to turn it loose but felt strong ASF- as was fresh as had not worked WW with right since 8th of this month. Height of lift was 14 1/2" and strap was wrapped properly!! Actual weight was 101 LB for history - 2 hours later weighed again - placing it centered with two hands- I knew it was around 101 LB so I weighed again. Age 55 BWT 218 Edited May 31, 2022 by Kluv#0 Added video of re-weighing - correct weight 101 LB 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
