Mitch Kirchner Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I'm going to start hub and block pinching I'm thinking on getting a block of steel around 4-4 1/2 inches and a pipe about 3 to 3 1/2 inches does this sound like a good size to pinch to maximize my crushing grip. Which one is overall better to pinch to gain the most on your crushing grip. Big or small stuff? Quote Git-R-Done!

Big or small stuff? ← People's opinion may vary, but generally wider stuff is considered to have more of a carryover to crush.

climber511 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Going too wide may not carry over as much as a more moderate width as far as crush goes but I guess the question is "crush what"? Personally, I'd go a little narrower for true crush strength - 3" to 4 1/2" is for me at least a "wide" pinch and carries over to blocks and blobs but not crush like one uses for grippers.
