greenBuddah Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hi, I haven't been here for quite a while and haven't touched grippers or other grip stuff since several month. But I have been doing normal training for some weeks. This includes pullups and leg raises by hanging on a spiral staircase often 4 times a week. There either my whole fingers or just the front half are gripping onto the stair and I felt it really works my hands. So today I wanted to go for a little grip training in the end and see how I perform after doing no grip for long. Hoped to close the #2 but thought RB210 will stop me. So I grabbed the Trainer for a warmup : felt good, but not extremely easy. Then #2 and I was quite satisfied to close it. After this I gave the RB210 a go, and now it felt easy! Both hands with easy closes. Feeling pretty excited I decided to give the RB260 a ride. And closed it with my right hand (another 210 close left). Finally I picked up my filed #3. Missed by a millimeter or so, but unfiled I think it would have been closed. Also my sweep feels pretty good. Easy TNS on #2 both hands and wide set closes on RB210. Now this training has ignited the fire of grip in me again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenBuddah Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Pull ups. The geometry of our staircase forbids chin ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Good strength after layoff from grippers. And yes it's been a while since I saw you posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPierce Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Gotta admit, this makes me want to install a flat-ways 2x4 as a pullup board. Ooh, ya know what? I could just lay a board across the top of my power rack! I have to try it. Not gonna do it this week, though. I plan on shutting the #3 on Friday, and I don't want to risk it.

greenBuddah Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks. Yes the look of the board also changed a lot in 6.5 years, and it seems to me that the activity around here has become less. Good idea. Hope it'll´be stable when you perform pull ups. The wood of our staircase is finished and relatively slick which makes it harder to keep hold on. Good look on your #3 attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanCottle Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Dont bother installing a 2x4 just use the lip of a door frame if you want strong fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
