OldGuy Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 This is what I am doing to increase the resistance on my Pony type clamp. It is now more of a Horse clamp. http://home.bellsouth.net/coDataImages/p/G...2464Aut0628.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bseedot Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Nice. I still can't close mine yet without the rubber binders! BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik_F Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Yes, very good idea. Good way to progress and you dont really need to buy more clamps. I also cant close any of my clamps completely yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted May 18, 2003 Author Share Posted May 18, 2003 I does not matter if you cannot close the clamp. It is being used for training the thumbs for pinch grip. In pinch grip your finger and thumb are of course seperated by the thickness of what you are pinching. I just squeeze as hard as I can with finger and thumb and hold for a while. The rubber bands are doubled up 2 or 3 times, and then forced onto the clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wd8dky Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Is the proper technique to put the thumb on top, or bottom? And to only use the index finger on the other side, and give it a squeeze? Thank you, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripppman Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I put my thumb on the bottom and 2 fingers on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bseedot Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 I use my thumb and the side of my index finger. BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrw125 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I've wrapped the ends in the cloth type athletic tape. I pinch it from the side using the thumb and the first three fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
