don of tha new grip Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I got the claw curl over the holidays and get a good pump on my forearms. My question is on form, should my hand be in a "scooping" position or a flat "straight" positon (if that makes since) I currently use the scooping motion but feels odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don of tha new grip Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 startin to feel like i'm talkin to myself. I took the claw curl and put it through my pull up bar and now I got finger tip pullups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I'll be getting this piece of equipment soon, don't have a clue about proprer form. The pullup idea sounds painful! Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don of tha new grip Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 John good luck with it I'm guessing that either way is good but i'm sure you'll see what works for you As for the pull ups they do hurt after 3 the pain sets in, my finger tips are all red today but what i hear is that pain is weakness leaving the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I tried this piece of equipment today (thanks to a good friend sending me one of his), and I pulled up 70 pounds easy. Don, you use it just as if you were lifting a DB off the floor. I'm thinking you'll have to go HEAVY on this just to get any benefit out of it. I'll keep you posted on my results, but yeah, I do like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Tom, It's a device sold by IronMind where you slip your fingers into some closed loops and then lift a weight from it. Go to the website, I think they have a pic of it there. http://www.ironmind.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
