HAMMERHEAD Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I strained my elbows during the last couple of behing the neck bend attempts earlier this week. No biggie, as long as I remember to let 'em heal. Anyways, I figured I'd do a grip workout today that would still let the elbows heal so I decided to work the blocks. It started pretty lame and then I realized I had some wood planks that I use for nail drivin' that would work great for the see/saw deload system Mr. Sorin has told us about. So I placed the plank on top on a thick dumbell handle, then I put a 25lb plate at one end and the Blob on the other. Oh yea! I had a hell of a pinch workout today. Thumbs are blasted. I even figured out another excersize with this type of deloading, but It would be a pain in the ass to describe it without pictures. Give it a whirl. It's very easy to adjust the resistance level by just moving the pivot point. Thanks Mr. Sorin! -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 I remembered reading the see saw idea a couple different times and I couldn't remember who the other member was who suggested it. After doing a search I found that Rob Vigeant has suggested this see saw idea in the past. So, I gotta extend my thanks to him as well. If it wasn't for nail driving I wouldn't have wood in my workout area and would probably never tried this. Thanks again guys. My thumbs are blasted and sore already. The GripBoard is a wealth of information. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Thanks for reminding me of this one, Erik. I've been needing some way to work my way into regularly pulling the Blob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
