Guest rockblaster Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 The Sorinex anvil trainer is an incredible grip trainer! If you do not have one, it would be an awesome addition to anyone's grip arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rockblaster Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 It is not featured on their website. You have to call and request the order. I really feel that my whole hand is worked when I use these--especially the last two fingers. I spoke with Richard Sorin and he said that you can hold them for time and do farmer's walks with them and simply mix up the routine a bit. They are round and oval and tapered at the end. At its thickest point, they are over 2". If you're on this board, they cost $105 total per trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 How does it compare to the anvil trainer from IM? -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockblaster Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 This one is more tapered to a point--sort of like a steel cone. It is about 1.5 feet long, round oval, hollow, with a bolt running across the thickest point. A "rappeller's clasp" (I forget the name) is hooked to the bolt and to a loading pin that holds both standard and olympic plates. You can use a larger pin if need be. What I like about this piece of equipment is as your grip fails, you can let your hand gradually slide to the thinner end, thus working your grip at different widths. The thinnest point is about 1.25 inches oval. As I stated before, I feel that my entire hand gets a really good workout. It is a much different feeling than working with the thick bar. I have not tried IM's anvil trainer but I do like this particular design better than the one that IM has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
