madknight Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Levering works well. You can use a sledge hammer or other lever hammer. Here's an example of some exercises you can do http://www.geocities.com/ltgodfrey/lever.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencilneckmike Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 ok cool madknight thanks a lot! what would you recommend me buying sledge hammers or a lever bar, and if i do buy sledge hammers what weight would be fine? thanks!

tchcalvin Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I started with a 8lb hammer cuz it is what I had. If that is too heavy choke up on the handle. Once I mastered that, I welded a post to the head so I could load plates on the end. This has seemed to work well and allow me to micro load without having to buy new hammers. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrojetred Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) This is a little something I made. It should help a little with wrist strength, to say the least. http://www.gripboard.com/uploads/125201294...1078_181907.jpg Edited September 4, 2009 by Puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can spin that must be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VahnCruz Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Standard pushups in addition to levering works great, eventually work up to back hand pushups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone, it is uploading right now. I think... The page is still loading. (EDIT) Alright, So I clicked upload, and all it is doing is spinning the loading symbol. Is that about right? It's not a huge video. Edited September 5, 2009 by Puller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to upload it to youtube. It just isn't working on the site. Construction is simple. I've had the bar for a while, so I had to take it apart, but when you first buy it, you have to assemble it, anyway. Measure the area of your bar, and bring that to a hardware store. You can either have them cut it to length, or have them cut the total amount you need, and cut it to length at home. They are idiots, so you will have to repeat what you actually want, several times. Just be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korneliusz Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 for me mace - sword - sabre training, I liked it when was younger, and now have still strong (but thin) wirst, never have any wirst problem, and damaged 2 persons wirst during arm wrestling, althought they was lot stronger than I, but just had weaker wirst. But first do leverage, knight-like training can be dengerous at begining, and start with wooden stick to get proper technic, now i use 5kg, 1 meter long metal bar with max 4kg weight on 1 side - like mace, works well, fill all hand after it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to log in to youtube, to watch it. I have it set to 25 people max view, so it's not floating all over youtube. You can sign in with your gmail. If this becomes an issue, I'll consider something else, so everyone can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pencilneckmike Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 very nice contraption indeed. so the pvc pipes are removable right, or do you have to unscrew the pull up bar as well. also, how long have you been working with this device and did you notice changes in your wrist strength?
