PeterSweden Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) ppl told me that I should bend steel in IMPs only to get strong enough and harden my hands that way to be able to cert. Now I have a "follow up question". When I bend in double suede for example I can kinda "pistolgrip" the ends of the wraps and get more leverage that way on the kink. How do I position my hands best when I bend in IMPs only? Someone said hands closer together, ie not pulling on the end in a pistolgrip kinda way. Its mostly the kink Im thinking about. I can crush big shit while kinking is the hardest part. Thanks! Edited February 8, 2013 by NewGrippster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acromegaman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That link is to a post that a video showing proper DO technique. As for me though, where I'm more comfortable is with the ends of the bar directly in the center of my palm. I like knowing that I'm working the wrist a little more and my pointer fingers are touching. Probably from my hands being so large though.

CANCRUSHER Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Try to put your index fingers on the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That technique video is enormously valuable. With some adjustments it has made a quick and noticeable difference for me. Like said above there might be minor difference from person to person like anything, but it gives you the base to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Watched it and it answered my question in theory, now I have to practise I felt spastic holding the nail in IMPs only. Gonna try to aim for that Xmark he made in his palm instead of in the middle of the palm. I'll get back with you tomorrow when my session is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromegaman Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) Yeah, and believe it or not that is 5/16" x 7" CRS in it. Lol. They're a gift. Edited February 8, 2013 by acromegaman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
