Six Barrel Shotgun Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Hey. I've always thinked One-finger lifting is very cool. But i'm afraid to injury myself in it. My question is: How would you recommend training this in a safe way? To avoid injuries. Estimate your max and lift under it? Like do the sets on say 60% of max (for example) ? -- I want to train this, but am afraid to get injured and danger my future grip training. Thanks for replies guys.

jad Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It's not a matter of if you will injure yourself but when. Even if you go slow, the problem is once you get past the mental part, 170# doesn't hurt anymore than 300# so you'll just be gambling on if your finger will hold as you try bigger and bigger weights.

Six Barrel Shotgun Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for your reply jad. I see then that the best thing for my future grip training would be to leave this exercise out of the routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
