MikeP Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Parallel. Tough. But I'm a very weak narrow pincher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Thanks for your answers Matt/Heath/Pat ? Who can do the #2 in this fashion but with thwo hands ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushjunior Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I don't have a T I tried a #1.. i was pretty far from parallel with ... my middle finger. With my index finger I moved it 1-2 mm and it felt like the muscle that curls my index finger was going to rip out of my forearm. I couldn't even try a max contraction, I'd hurt myself. A #2... what could Kinney pinch 4 45's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I can't even do it with my Begginner which is an easy gripper way easier them my trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I can do it with my sporting goods store gripper, but that's weaker than a pony clamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I miss on one of my store bought grippers. I remember when I used to think that's what grippers were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 No trainer, but can get fairly close with pony clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMunger Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Are we allowed to set it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Are we allowed to set it? In this case only if you have huge hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggymountainmuscle Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I worked my pinch grip yesterday and my hands are greecy, I'll do it tomarrow. Yeah, right. But thanks for the idea, now I have a Titians Telegraph Key impliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Just chatted with good ol' David Horne, aka 'The Pinch Monster'. He tried it. 16 secs righty and 20 secs lefty. #1 ~ 6mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkbone Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Man, that's tough. I'd like to see some video of someone doing this. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdoire Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I can do it with my WalMart special if I wrap my fingers under the index tightly into a semi fist. A new pony clamp exercise...good thinking Bill!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I've never done it before, but the german boys Franky and Flo asked me about it in the chat room, so I had a go there and then. I haven't touched a gripper above a #2 since August because of my Armwrestling training and was suprised that I could do it. Anyway, I think it's got more to do with my Pinch gripping which I am still doing in a backhang format. Anyway, my thumbs still feel sore from it now, and I have training in 2 hours! I think it's a good exercise done for holds. All for now, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 i got it to parelle with my #1,and my 1 is harder then avg. i got my red handle store gripper closed for 20 reps with just my thumb and pointer with my right hand. 9 reps with my left but it kept slipping out. i think my thumb is pretty strong.

Jeff Parker Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I dont know anything about using a pony clamp, and I am unsure as to how to close this the way wanna was talking about. Maybe someone could explain the way the gripper is positioned and you hands are a little different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 strongman, hold it like you do scissors, to cut paper. just your thumb and pointer should be on the gripper handle, the other fingers should be hanging off the bottom. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 yup the store bought one got me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 lyle you were not able to get the store gripper for a rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I could do it with a storebought gripper for a few reps but not with the Trainer. Oddly enough, my left hand was much better at doing this. Probably because it mimics the way my left hand works at setting grippers in the right hand.

Jeff Parker Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I could come close with my store bought gripper, but was at parallel with the trainer. After a bunch of tries though, my thumb really hurt! Since my thumb is a weak point for me right now, I think I'm gonna have to start using some pony clamps!

JustinH Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 (edited) Is this just basically trying to close a gripper with the index finger and thumb but pointing the spring away from you? If this is the way you do it I did it with my store bought but I don't have a trainer. Edited November 21, 2004 by JustinH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarath Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 (edited) Svend Karlsen said there was one feat he still cannot believe was humanly possible. Norwegian oldtime strongmanlegend Torkel Ravndal squeezed the fronttire of Svend's moped flat with his indexfinger and thumb. Torkel is the guy in my avatar Edited June 15, 2006 by Mats Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
