Guest JSallee Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 A few years ago I took an old softball, drilled a hole trough it, drove a spike and hooked a chain to it. I used it for one hand DL's and holds. I used an old softball so it was a little slick. I am just getting into seriously training my grip. And just wondered it anyone has heard of this or tried it? I think my O weightlifting coach told me about it. Just an idea, Josh (Edited by JSallee at 1:17 pm on Aug. 23, 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 This exercise is mentionned in Mastery of hand strength, by John Brookfield. Brookfield says it is a very good exercise. I perform this exercise sometimes but it is not in my main program, which is axed on the solely on the grippers until I close that 1/8 left on the 3.

Guest kINGPIN Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 I remember seeing this idea in a magazine once. It looks a good idea, i was going to try a wooden ball or something instead of a softball though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockblaster Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 The softball lifts I do with both one and two hands. It works the ENTIRE hand. Lifting heavy poundages on this will increase your OVERALL hand strength. DO IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
