cemery Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 tried some ring finger chins after workout tonight. They are only difficult because of the pain, but check it out. We also got a little creative and tried something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Casey, not trying to be a dick, but have you ever thought about losing some weight? Nice work. Wasn't David Horne talking about how difficult ring finger pull ups are supposed to be? I guess they aren't too difficult for a certain someone in Dallas-Forth Worth. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omari Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Nice, I can only do them with my middle finger. The lighter you are the easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be right there man, because your not getting much help from the hub side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemery Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks guy's. Rex - I'm a hulking 152 lbs, the camera makes me look a tad thin though. Adam - thanks man, I was talking to Paul tonight about this, I am curious to know if I could pull off some chins with two hub devices. I have tried one arm chins but it feels miles away, maybe if I attacket it with a better attitude HAHA. Omari - I am going to have to try some weighted middle finger chins. . how much do you weigh ? I will add enough weight to equal you if i can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Knight Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) I think doing a chin on two hubs is world class ........................ uh oh - don't let Rex read this. I said the WC word Awesome once again Casey! Edited May 1, 2009 by Paul Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdigriz Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 At his weight it would not be world class, 2 hubbed chins would be galaxy class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest indi Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 im blinded by the sheer awesomeness of the second video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The first video is way moore inpressive then the second. Most light climbers can do the ringfinger chins, and the realy gifted ones can do several one pinkyfinger onearm chinups The feat in the second video is not that hard to do acctually. If you rigd the things in my climbing gym i would say that 75% of the advanced climbers could do at least one chinup, probably moore. Im not trying to belittle anybody, just a little perspective. That being said, for most people who DONT climb it is awsome strenght! Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Also, i know at least 3 climbers of good standard, not top swedish but still, able to do a one arm chin of a roling thunder handle Two hub-chins is a different story, possible for the realy gifted but unobtainable for most of us heavyer guys. I would like to see a chin up from two hubs performed of somebody over 65 kilograms of bodyweight, that would be truly inpressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumpster Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Very nice! Does that Tetting hub have knurling on it? I saw a pic on here somewhere of a hub he made that had knurling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemery Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks again amigos. Capt Sam - years ago me and Paul went rock climbing in Mineral Wells, i was amazed at the strength involved. I have absolutely no doubt that most good rock climbers - heavy or light - could do this and much more, but im no climber for sure. Derek - you will have no problem with these buddy. Luke - I bet you could if you tried bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemery Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Very nice! Does that Tetting hub have knurling on it? I saw a pic on here somewhere of a hub he made that had knurling. no knurling on that one, but the texture of the paint is better that the new IM hubs. My bro got it off the nutritiongeeks web site i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 For a little more perspective... This blew my mind! in 1941 a guy called R Weeks lifted 760 ibs from the floor using only one finger If you are intressted in bodyweight feats and "finger feats" pleas visit www.johngill.net, the inventor of modern bouldering. Thers alot of information dating back over a hundred years ago. Ps at the beginning of my climbingcareer i tought i was strong, it turnd out i was simply uneducated and quite week compared to what had already been achived...

Omari Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks guy's. Omari - I am going to have to try some weighted middle finger chins. . how much do you weigh ? I will add enough weight to equal you if i can. I'm 185 right now. I'm working on trying to do them with my ring and index fingers. It's easy with my middle finger since its longer, but my index finger is still stronger since its the one I always use.

Captain Sam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Omari, everybody has a right to their own belifs. I know that something from 1941 is at best a little shady and we can never really know the truth about that feat. I personaly belive John Gill and i know that he has put a lot of effort and reasearch in to logging streanghtfeats related to climbing. Also, the tendons and sinews in the fingers can fysicaly (medicaly) tolarete more force so somebody with much training and a very high paintolarance would be able to do this. Again, loook at john gills website, it will blow your mind! My point is that sometimes we tend to hype up our own recent acivements without first looking back through history. The Human body was not weaker 100 years ago, if you belive that you are simply very ignorant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Everytime someone mentions John Gill and those awesome bodyweight feats, I think of this: http://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/JasperBenincasa2b.jpg Jasper called it the Close to Impossible. That is hard to believe, that he could hold that even for 1 second without moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sam Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah, that one is "master of the universe"-class That feat is actualy on J.G list! The torque on his hands must have been unbelivable.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Sam, ok man, I'm trying to figure out if you are saying now that I am weak AND ignorant ? I told you i agree - there are many others from past, present and future that are stronger than I am, but I dont give a shyt about it, I just did something I'm kinda proud of, and I posted it to show my friends on the GB. THAT IS IT !!!! If you want to keep rambling about this. . . . start a thread and talk your ass off. . . . . Sorry if I'm taking this the wrong way, but I have read three posts from you telling me how easy this is, and I guess your giving examples of what WORLD CLASS bodyweught feats really are. It is starting to offend me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
