PeterSweden Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Anyone who knows if axle/thickbar/RT/inch has carryover to eachother? Anyone who knows if axle has carryover to regular only bar grip strength and the other way around? Im trying to plan my training for the first 12-16 weeks of 2015. Thanks!

Chez Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 For me, working with thicker stuff like the RT or an inch type DB increase my Axle. However it doesn't work in reverse for me. Working the axle doesn't help my RT or inch work. I actually get the best results on the axle when I don't train it. When I train RT thickness my axle goes up. I throw in regular double over hand deadlifts on an oly bar also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Harju Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Train hard with Horne's adj thick bar, inch,axle and blobs. If you have watched my testing videos every week then you can notice that they work together awesomely. Monkey grip deadlift is good species too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for Mr Horne to restock the adj thickbar for like a year or something Really want to have one. At the moment I train axle, blockweights and sledgehammer levering/deadlifts. Works good together and Im improving fast Assistance exercises are; Platepinch curls Off-set dumbell wristcurls Different kinds if wristcurls Reverse grip bicepcurls Hammercurls And sledge fingerwalks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotator Cuff at cable machine I train my body 3x/week and my grip 1-2x/week depending on how I recover. My Lower back is broken so I cant train squats or deadlifts. I have to do rackpulls with the axle for now. Grip looks like this; Axle warmup. 4x5sec holds, 1xMax hold. Last session I did this at 95kgs. Every session I increase the weight with 5kg. Blockweight holds, ISOs on 20kg and cleans with 17kg. Somtimes I add weight to them. Im waiting for my 25kg to arrive. Sledgehammer levering. An assistance exercise of the above mentioned. Hammer or reverse curl. If my thumbs are sore I dont do blockweights and if my wrist are sore I skip hammers. Trying to get 2 sessions per week.

Lucasraymond Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If you have a loadable handle you can add that to do Rows or if you have a shot loadable inch that would also work well to help with thickbar stuff, just a thought. Also another great tool is called the Wrist Wrench; I made a replica but you can buy them (not sure the website). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also another great tool is called the Wrist Wrench; I made a replica but you can buy them (not sure the website). the action on it reminds me of the off-set dumbell that Sean Dockery used to train for the inch My father made me one, exactly like Seans. Its hard to lift without it turning when loaded up What materials did you make your wrench out of? Do you train to total exhaustion or "leave some in the tank" when you train grip?

Lucasraymond Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 1- 8" -2" schedule 80 black iron 2- 12" pieces of ratchet strap 4- self tapping screws 1- 8" x 1" x 1/8" steel 1- carabiner This is the Original Wrist Wrench - which you can buy!! When I train I vary it depending on the day. I would say that I come close to doing max effort lifts about 80% of the time that I train, especially with grip but much less often with full body lifting. My hands/forearms recover much faster now that I have been doing Grip Rushes and finger walks. The sledge choke and pickaxe if I go anywhere near max effort (sledge more) I cannot train them for about 2-3 weeks without discomfort in my wrist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSweden Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Gonna try that elbow position when I pinch plates next time. Is it the same when you lift blobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I have only found a carryover from Inch training & fat grips holds to axle, not the other way round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
