neno Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Almost every other piece of grip equipment out there has a vid of someone using it properly, but I cant find one for the claw curl. I would like to know how to use it correctly and if someone has a vid they could post it so I could compare my use of it to theres so that I know Im getting the most out of it, or if Im using it incorrectly. neno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 it would be great if you would post a pic, ← O.K., will do. The pic I have is me lifting 135 pounds on it.... nothing much, but I used that weight as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want, I can dig up a pic of me using it. ← I put fingers in keeping my hand as straight as possible while holding the weight up and begin to make a fist with the sleeve on. Not sure if that's what you meant or not Syber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandfinger Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I use the claw curl for climbing-training. I do curls with tree fingers (index, middle, ring). Best way is: put first join of fingers in the loops. Bend the fingers in the second join, the first join keeps flat in the loops (not move with the fingertips). The end of the movement is like hanging on a door-frame or small rung with a crimpgrip. I use the tumbs only for the last rep. In my opinion, the claw curls are very good in kombination with fingerrolls at lang bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Ten Ox Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) Do you just deadlift it or actually curl the fingers? Edited November 7, 2005 by Number Ten Ox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Do you just deadlift it or actually curl the fingers? ← Think of this as an Eagle Loops with the ends closed off; so yes, it would be a deadlift. 135 pounds was nothing for me... I can and have pulled more on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmackin Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I curl the fingers and definetly feel it working. Haven't tried Syber's way yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more weight, the more your fingers will want to go straight on this lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmackin Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Usually 50-60 for reps. I've been doing wrist curls since I was a kid. Where I roll the dumbell to the finger tips and back up. Kind of the same concept to me just with a strap instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandfinger Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 What about finger-curls without wrist-curl? I use claw-curls instead of barbell to do heavy fingerrolls.

TelegraphKey Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I feel that Eagle Loops might be better for me to do finger curls. I ordered both but got Claw Curl first. I feel with Eagle Loops I can stick fingers in just a little farther but only to about first joint from fingertip. I feel I can finger curl more effectively this way.
