HAMMERHEAD Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 The Coin Bag Carry. August Johnson carried in one hand a 32lb bag of coins for one mile without adjusting his grip. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 At work, I sometimes have to change the movie sign-which requires carrying a 8 foot ladder about a quarter mile down the road. I like to 1 hand pinch it (it is quite wide-but not super heavy) and try to carry it all the way there with 1 hand and all the way back with the other. It is pretty tough-but I can usually make it.

smitty Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 Bender, thanks for the reply Is Hangboard training and long board leveraging a weight at the end? Is a Pony Clamp the clamp from the hardware store for your dynamic thumb, pointer finger strength? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 A hang board is the multi shaped board for doing pulls and hangs off of for developing the open hand, static finger strength needed for rock climbing. Yes, the pony clamp is the black or orange home-depot clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
