Tou Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Don't know if you saw the new Brookfield tip on Ironmind's site. It looks like a terrific grip exercises. Those who want big forearms should try this one. Big help on crushing strength too. I'll try it this weekend. Brookfield's tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SShafley Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 John has always been one of the greatest innovators in grip training, in my opinion. I haven't been keeping up on those tips. Thanks Tou. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripintime2 Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Tou, Yeah, this was posted a couple of weeks ago... For a variation, try a thicker board (2x6...or so) with smaller pliers.... Really gives a lot of pressure to the last two digits (ring finger and pinky) Makes for a very wide set.... I tried it with a thin board and it felt more like a wirst excercise...like a weighted frying pan..... John is the King of Innovation... This one is great.

BarBender Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 I could not find a suitable board for this exercise so I used a discarded tiolet seat lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I think many of us on the board could come up with novel grip training ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opnsysme Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 For hub lifting practice I use a Bung plug, no not the Beavis and Butthead kind but the wooden kind you tap into a huge wine or whiskey vat. My dad gave it to me so I drilled a hole in the center and screwed a "j" hook into it and used a chain or a 5 gallon bucket and lifted away. It works well except most hubs aren't that long, though this does have a good taper to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
