crazysam Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I'm with you Steve! Pinch training is a blast! Have you tried taking a single plate (5 or 10 lbs), pinching it using only your index and thumb then transfering to the middle finger, then ring, then pinkie then go back. When you do this excercise to failure you get an awesome burn in your thumb pad. My goal is to work up to being able to do this with a 25 lb plate. I wonder what the pinch monsters out there would be able to do with this excercise, maybe 2-25's?

I'll try that next day...sounds like lots of fun...I need to get something for ROM also (my birthday is comming up and I'm going to ask my dad for stuff cause he's who started me into strength stuff at 12....) I think I could do that with 2 10s but we will see... I'll post whatever happens on my training log with my other pinch grip mini marathons...

HEHEHE I'd love to build up to that kind of strength....maybe I should make that a long term goal.... Well as one of the strongest men ever said, "Conceive, Believe, Achieve."

Well as one of the strongest men ever said, "Conceive, Believe, Achieve." I can do that easy. 4 10's is V hard for me! Different strokes! Train for your weaknesess not your strengths.

ox3782 Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Great job do you own any blobs steve if not you should get some they are great as well!!! Brendan Quote Brendan Dwyer | 6'1" | 204lbs | 7 7/8 inch hand
gothrik Posted June 3, 2007 Author Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) No I don't own any blobs....but as to the Car lifting, I've not really try'd it. Though I know I can't yet. But Im doing the Super Squats program and if all goes well Maybe in a year or two...What kind of weight is there in car deal lifting? So far at 17 I can do tripple deads with 315#. I would love to own a blob, but the cost is ! I think I may lift my dads dumbells when I get home without cutting them just lift them by their hexagonal ends. I have my training log at http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=23401 or just look for "Building Steam" if anyone wants to look...

Just for fun (even though I am tired) I tried this out...As I have no big plates in my dorm room...(as I loned them to the "really buff but has no strength body builder" in the dorm ) I used 4 2-1/4 plates and did the one finger pinches, they were really easy, though the multiple plates made it a little harder with single fingers...(exspecially the pinkies... ) I think I could do this with 2 7.5s or 2 10s when fresh....no way to know without doing it though...
