Nathan Say Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Cut wire with wire cutters. Get some webbing (like lifting straps) wrap it around a bar so the ends are free then get some pliers & pick the whole thing up with them, holding the ends of the straps in the jaws.

BarBender Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 In no particular order: Ivanko Super Gripper Double hammer squeeze Lifting with Pliers Wire cutting Plate loaded grip machine Crushing an apple or potato This list is by no means complete.

Rick Walker Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 So far, I have gotten great results from the plier lift and from the double hammer squeeze. I also use the COCs but if you dont have them the above 2 are also productive. If $$ is an issue-get MASTERY OF HABD STRENGTH before anything else-all hand strengthening tools can be home made. All of mine are except the COCs!! Best of luck- Rick Walker :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 I've crushed an apple before, and it is definetely a lot easier than crushing a potato, but it is still satisfying. I tried a russet type potato, and felt it give a bit, but it just wouldn't finish. I will include it in a training day some time. Anyone else have any experiance crushing stuff other than grippers?

Rick Walker Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Hey Mike, Brookfield says a potatoe is like crushing a #3 or harder. Can you crush the #3?? THis is freaking amazing at your AGE!! You are a freak if you can! I can easily mash the #2 and I can touch an apple or potatoe! My wife laughs at me cause you are near a 100 pounds lighter and have freakish hand strength-I tell her atleast I can squat 600+ raw!! Keep at it! Good luck!
