Two Hand And One Hand Pinch

[climber511]

Bob Sundin and I chatted a bit today - always fun my friend! As a result I am planning to work on my one hand pinch ability (due the fact that I suck at it). My hope is that by increasing my 1 + 1 = 3 Euro strength by making the 1s bigger - I can increase my Euro results as well as my Medley performances and manage a few of the one hand pinch grip feats like 2 x 25K plates and the Manna Nuff piece etc that were here at Gripmas.

I have found that the one hand versions are so very different and while I'm OK at two hand - my one hand lifts are only so so. I plan to approach it the same way I did the Euro training - notebook time it is. Time will tell I guess.

So, you're thinking training 1HP on Euro will carryover to things like the Manna Nuff?

Actually not on the Euro setup but on a couple width specific items I will be welding up here soon.

Chris, working a lot of thin pinch helped me peak my 1hp strength quickly. Pinching thin for a couple weeks seems to build a bit of static tension in the hand. When id go back to contest width it feels like the hand is glued to the implement and the hand naturally grips the plates with seemingly little effort.

That makes sense. I guess I inferred Euro when I saw 1HP.
