ruffhans Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 i wanted to ask a (?). what would be the best overall grip excersise's to do to work each part of the hand? in other words what is the single best crushing, pinch, wrist, and forearm excersise? well, im sure i would get a thousand answers, and why that person feels it is the best. so, i will ask it this way to ensure the answer that one gives would well be thought thruogh! so here it is,... if you where stranded on a remote island, and where only allowed enough grip items to do one excersise for your crushing strength, one for your thumb, one for wrists, and one for forearms. witch would it be?

gazza Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 ruffhans good question First of all i would take a large thick rope,to hang from trees,to hit all round grip,favourite exercise of ian mac Batchelor. Next i would use the islands own natural resources,rocks stones tree branches etc,for pinching and hoisting. lastly i would take my inch replica d/bell,to use for all round strength,and when i finally got round to hoisting it,i would bury it deep inthe sand with my name scratch on it,so that when found years later prople would ask,whos Gazza!

ruffhans Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 you know i just recently tried some thick rope stuff. man! what a workout. i was thinking about doing it more seriously, but my problem is im not sure to use it as a warm up, a replacement, or to combined it with other grip training. what do you think gazza? how good is thick rope training, could it replace other excersises? ???

gazza Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Ruffhans Im pretty new to grip stuff myself,but if Ian Mac Batchelor 300lbs plus bodyweight and undefeated arm wrestling champion for x amount of years,can hang from a rope 1 handed and thumbless,and call it his best exercise,then its good enough for me.

ruffhans Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 good enough for me!!!! anyone else had good results from rope training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Say Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 crush: grippers thumb: thick thing pinching wrist: plate curls forearm: I don't know but crush training works my forearms pretty good, I know that hand strength & forearm strength aren't the same. I wouldn't recommend crushign to someone who wants big forearms, but anyway I'm sure my forearms are growing from al the crushing I'm doing right now. Maybe If I did wrist curls my forearms would grow faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
