Gripper42004 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I'm not sure if anybody else as thought of this b-4.I've kinda been keep'n it to myself.Everyboby has held one at some point in time,you can find it in the bathroom "Toilet Paper Dispenser Holder" I use the aluminum one.I put a spring or two if needed inside of it of diff. strength/length. It's a great thumb workout ... I have 3 other excer. that I do that I came up with, but I'm keep'n them for myself for now. "GOD IS THE REAL POWER" Tommy.....

Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Sounds like a Crappy idea to me. BUTT a better idea than 'pinching' a loaf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Hey! Let's not flush this idea down the toilet just yet!! Seems like some of you are poo-pooing this very effective training method away!! I'm sorry.... ROTFLMAO!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 It works!!! I too laughed. I made one out of some pvc and some very strong springs. It made a world of differents. I am lifting 45# blob with my left hand now ez. That is my weak hand. The "Jewel" Tom invented is helping me with card ripping and the last two fingers on the grippers. Keep being blessed Tom. Thank you for your help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 bender53, You sh*t!! You didn't tell us today was YOUR BIRTHDAY!! Happy Birthday!! I turn 39 in April.... god, are we getting old!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I know. It takes longer to heal from this monster grip workouts. I am taking naps some days. Little pains when the weather gets bad. But I am shooting for #4 by my 40th b-day. Lord willing this to will come to pass. Ain't no spring chicken. But it don't hurt to try be the cock-of-the-walk.

Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 If your training has hit the 'skids' this device seems to be perfect for short turn 'blasts'of grip training. No doubt about it.Just 'wash'away your worries,start with a 'clean'slate and 'bear'down on this new device.Just get 'crackin' and excuse the 'noise'it makes..Its our smelly little secret.Lets try to keep a 'lid'on it for now... (seriously does sound like a good idea...my thumbs are definitely too weak) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Tommy, Thanks for being a good sport- your idea probably has merit, and is inventive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalCage Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I "hole-y" agree. In fact, I often do the rubber band extensor exercise, and I see this as the exact opposite motion. I may have to look around my basement for some spare parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Tommy, seriously how about a pic of this device showing it's components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Tommy, if you have tried the Homedepot one dollar clamp gripper, how does it compare to the toilet roll holder gripper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripper42004 Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 I've tried it,its ok.The tp will open yer hand wider, & it depends on the length of the spring or springs you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
