Sybersnott Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 An overcrush is a gripper that you can close, and you close it harder than you normally would, hence the term, "overcrush". As to how you could work it into your training... it depends. Mix it in and look at the results. An overcrush would kinda be like a reverse of a negative. Strapholds and negatives have their place, and so do overcrushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sjeff70 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I see no purpose in doing overcrushes, but that's why I'm a newbie. It seems like strapholds would be better than overcrushes. Almost like Strapholds would be an upgrade, making overcrushes obsolete. Strapholds ensure discipline and a way of monitoring progression.

Tou Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Overcrush are VERY tough. Not that the gripper is tough to close but to perform a proper overcrush, you close the gripper with high force and then, you apply more and more pressure. What it does is that it ruins the skin of your pinkie. Do them at the end of your workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
