Rolling Thunder

[Martin Gaisser]

I know everybody pretty much agrees that training thickbar stuff including the rolling thunder will take away from your chrushing grip while training. I was wondering if the same holds true for the opposite. I've almost finished my second round of KTA and am in the most demanding part of the program. Today I was in the gym doing my 5/3/1 workout and thought I would give the old rolling thunder a go. My previous best lift was 150lb which i know ain't good. The only thing I have been doing is KTA and just the other day I started doing a few negatives with my BLOB50 after my gripper work. So anyways I load it up to about 10lb over my previous best and got it no problem so I sarted getting excited and started adding some weight. I ended up with way more than I thought I could lift and put it on the scales just to make sure and get a correct number 189.98! I was really shocked. So do you guys think after I get through with my KTA training and some rest these numbers will go up?

Yes Martin, they should. Kinney, renowned for his crushing and negative holding strength,

could roll a 173lb Inch Dumbbell from hand to hand 5 or 6 times, all in midair. What I'm getting at is;

he never touched a thickbar, except maybe for his wristroller or thick pipes at work in the steelshop maybe

For the other thing, I don't now if thickbar will take away from your crush, but you get one hell of a sweep out of

it. I'm 16 and only, ONLY due to my prior thickbar training I can butter through the sweep of a No2 like nothing.

Well the last quarter inch is a different story from TNS at least

Another thing I have noticed is when helping somebody move, I was always way stronger at digging my hands into soft,

heavy couches and furniture after I concentrated on thickbar for a couple months. When I revolved around gripper training,

my hands would tire out and cramp extremely fast doing that kind of work. If I had to choose, just gripper or thickbar, one

or the other, I'd take thickbar any day, more realistic approach to it.
