sammyg Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Been a long time since i've posted!! But i'm more advanced in my grip training. I'll give you a glimpse of my new training since the last time i posted... Phone book tearing attempts and Wrench bending attempts are performed every chance i get. I have no "weaker" phonebooks, and i don't have any nails to bend...So i make attempts at these feats hoping that one day i'll jus be able to do it. It gives my hands a HUGE workout, and they do get alot stronger. But i can't measure that through the two exercises since there's no visable improvement while making the attempts. The other major "Grip Training Advancement" i've made is levering... I have a very large shovel that i use. I have severel different exercises i do with the shovel. I'm improving alot with the shovel. The kind of strength i've gained is amazing. What i do is put a piece of tape where i'm currently holding it, then move it up as i improve. Won't go into anymore details at the moment!! This was the longest thread i've ever made!! Will be ALOT more active on the GripBoard from now on... Peace.

sammyg Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 Mate, i can't thank you enough for that book... It has taught me so much. I've read it from cover to cover several times. I read it almost every nite. Just going over chapters... A whole book devoted to grip strength...amazing. Thanx again mate. How's you training goin?? I haven't got any nails yet, haven't really had a look at Mitre 10. But i'll be going there next week. Nails of all shapes n' sizes and a sledgehammer will be on the shopping list. Also i'll be going to the local $2 store that just opened to get packs of cards. I'm not sure as to where i can find LOTS of phonebooks of all shapes & sizes tho... One day (hopefully soon) i'll be ordering grippers from IM, plus brookfields new book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
