Brad Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I read about a person who was able to do 6 reps of two finger pinch grip chins (thumb and index finger of both hands) on separate rafters. I immediately went into the basement to give it a try. I put a bathroom scale on a chair, stood on the scale and grabbed the rafters with the two fingers and pulled. I was about 25 pounds away from pulling myself up. It felt very awkward and I was not able to effectively transfer my chest and wrist strength through my index fingers against the rafters. Out of curiousity, I tried with two fingers on a single rafter and was able to pull all but 15 pounds and it felt much more natural. I found it very interesting that it was different from regular pinch grip chins in that using two separate rafters was harder than a single rafter. BTW-I have accomplished a few more feats on the rafters and will send a video once I accomplish the two finger pinch chins. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I'm just in shock there's a rafter feat out there that sombody else has accomplished that you can't duplicate(yet). I just assumed you were the rafter king. Your videos look like something a Hollywood special effects team put together Can't wait to see your new one.

Brad Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 Thanks guys! I was pleased to learn of the accomplishments of this person. It is very inspiring to hear about the feats of others who have goals similar to your own. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Given your demonstrated pinch chinning ability, I'm sure that this will be just a matter of course for you in time. Look forward to seeing those vids!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersqueeze Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Brad - Who was/is the person you read about doing this feat? Mike M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberuce Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 (edited) I'm clearly stupid. Where are Brad's videos? I can't find them in the Gallery. -Edit- I drank some brains. Found them. Edited October 18, 2004 by Uberuce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Mac-Thanks! I think that I will accomplish it eventually. Supersqueeze- I do not know the names but they are relatives of two people (uncle and father) from another forum. Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
