Eric Roussin Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I'm currently much stronger at thick bar exercises, but am working on improving both my crushing and pinching strength.

Cannon Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Crush. My grippers are probably a little too far ahead of any other lifts. I actually thought it was funny that for the upcoming Metroflex, I would have to compete in the pro class because of my gripper close. I'm not even close to the other pro qualifiers. <BR><BR>Grippers certainly interest me the most, however. Quote
Legendofjd3 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Seems to be pinching for me. After just a couple months of training I can already 2hp over 200+ lbs. Grippers have been tough. Although after just a few months of serious training I am right around a #3 CoC. But I've had CoC since 2008, just never really put much effort into them. But with my small a$$ hands.... I'd say I could end up being a pretty decent pincher. Quote Utica NY MY VIDS Goals: 2hp 225+ Farmer's walk while Hubbing 2 45's
Malice Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Grippers for me cuz it's all I trained for about 5 months. Thick bar is catching up though. Quote Russ Farver Mesa, Arizona My blog: http://thestrengthpit.blogspot.com
daniel reinard Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Crushing grip for me. Started with grippers 2 months ago and can close #2.5 both hands. Started pinching, have only done it 4 times, and can do 5 second holds on 2x35lb plate one hand pinches. Never done thick bar. I do have a RT on the way. Quote Introduced to grip world 8/22/10
unseenbeat Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 My pinch grip was decent when I started, crush moved at a much slower rate even though I trained it as often. Doin construction and labor jobs growing up, I was always pinching something to carry it (multiple 2x4's, stacks of plywood half sheets, etc) it was more natural.

judoboy Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 no suprise that crush is winning! like most people, I started on the gripper ladder, and it took me a while (too long actually) to understand that crush has little carry-over to the sports I participate in; judo/grappling/armwrestling. i voted thickbar!

Autolupus Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 My crush and thickbar aren't too bad but think my pinch wins out at around 30kg blob pinch and 32kg hub style. Quote Mike Mackenzie. Luceo non uro.
Stew Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Mine are all about the same, none are sensational but all pretty much in line with each other. Quote
bencrush Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Mine was crushing strength for the most part. Although I did at one time pull over 225lbs on an old RT and 380lbs DO on the Axle. Quote
