Hazerboy Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm looking for something fun to ask for for christmas. So far I own... A sledghammer, various nails, one or two blockweights, Heavy Grip grippers - 100 to 300, a towel I use for thickbar lifts, and... thats about it. Anything else good from ironmind I should ask for? The eagle loops look cool, same with the hub pinch. Would KTA, more grippers, or IMTUGS be a good investment? Suggestions would be appreciated.

knyaz Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Kettlebell I agree ask for a Kettlebell maybe even two, great grip and all around fitness tool for your collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The eagle loops look cool I have them and they are good if you want to do feats like one finger chins, but useless for overall grip training IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Ten Ox Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I asked for a Rolling Thunder this year. Last year I got grippers. If you don't have any COC's you could get one, just to see the difference between a HG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbguns Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Richard Sorin's Big Squeeze dumbell handles (Sorinex web page at top of this page), Go-Really plate loaded floor gripper from Ironmind, maybe treat yourself to a Robert Baraban gripper or two (FatBastard has great price packages now!) I HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH ALL OF THESE RECENT ADDITIONS TO MY COLLECTION. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetAGrip87 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Get some Coc or Beef Builder Grippers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazerboy Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 What about the hand gripper helper? is that any good? I'm about a centimeter away from closing the HG 250 so I'm a little reluctant to get a CoC gripper thats well beyond my level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch1963 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Titan's telegraph key. I don't actually own one but I built something similar and it is one of my favorite tools. The pump you get from working the thumb and individual fingers is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRabich Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 As with everything in life, it comes down to how much money you willing to spend. I think Rolling Thunder is a relatively inexpensive item, which is a must for your collection. With a loading pin it comes out to $65 plus shipping from Fat Bastard, Ironmind is like $5 cheaper, but Fat bastard is made a lot nicer, plus loading pin can be used for everything else.

xrated618 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I am actually in the same boat. I ended up ordering a beginners bending bad and a 2" Vbar from FBBC and bought/made some hex weights. I just got the bending bag and haven't got the Vbar yet. The hex weights are awesome and give me a great exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKoch Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 ...a towel I use for thickbar lifts... Is it just a plain towel? Maybe you could ask for a really nice towel, monogrammed with your initials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
