naturalstrength Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 This simple contraption has yielded great results for me in a short period of time. It is especially useful for training individual finger strength. Remember to keep a true "pinch grip" on the coin, training each individual finger.

layla Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Looks like you can use a washer ifn a suitable coin isnt around, thanks for the idea and im gonna make one, ive already fabbed a hub lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Very nice. Have you seen any crossover frorm this exercise to other grip disciplines, like grippers for instance, or thick bar? Just wondering. Looks very tough on the thumbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobb1320 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thats a great idea,I think I will try it.Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anuwbius Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Brookfield talks about using a quarter for the same purpose in one of his books. If he uses it, you know it has some merit. I think its one of the best for the thumb. Edited April 17, 2008 by Anuwbius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen any crossover frorm this exercise to other grip disciplines, like grippers for instance, or thick bar? Just wondering. Looks very tough on the thumbs. Yes. I have seen a great improvement in my gripper training for instance. I could barely close the CoC #1 and can now mash a CoC#2 after about a month training on this device. I have also increased my thickbar training considerably in terms of weight ( I use the 3 1/2" diameter bar). It has also helped my reverse style bending. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I advocate the half dollar piece or equivilant and drill the hole near the bottom of the coin where the chain can attach. Also, the imprint on the coin will serve as some level of "gripping" surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRabich Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Bringing back the old thread, are you using Susan B. Anthony dollar? That one is kind of tough to find, the recent dollar is only slightly bigger than quarter. Maybe JFK 50 cent coin? By the way Dennis Rogers is selling commercially (probably from strongergrip.com) this one http://dennisrogers.net/productview.php?uid=33.

MRabich Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 My speakers are missing from the move, lol. I did research, Eisenhower dollar is the largest US coins (that is affordable for this purpose), they can be found close to their face value, and it's 38 mm in diameter, compared to 26 mm for the current dollar.

Blackdog Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Man, you have a lot of great ideas. Actually, I was just thinking about drilling a coin for that purpose for future coin bending then I saw your video. I haven't tried your mop head idea yet, but I am looking forward to it. Cheers!

Jacobs86 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Yet another great idea - and will give me something to do on my weekend off. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
