AdriaanRobert96 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hey there lads, been a while and for those of you who follow me.. You know I started a progress post about thumb pad mass a month or two ago. With that said, a lot of you were helpful with different exercises etc etc.. During these two months or so I’ve gained a half cm in thickness … The thing is that I don’t feel I found a reliable way of training the thumb pad, and it brings me back to when I first tried the “rice bucket” .. I know, I know.. “but rice bucket doesn’t have progressive overload besides time” you might say and you’re right to a degree. I felt that with rice bucket, or sand or even pebbles I could move the thumb however it was supposed to move in any and every direction.. Thumb pump was literally “breathe taking”, those who know they know.. I know it’s not a perfect way of training, none are to a degree but it might be a thing to try more regularly for a while.. Leave your thoughts on this, what were your experiences with this, how far did you go? Pebbles, Sand, Rice.. grenades? As I remember it, pump was insane so I might switch it up for a while and keep ya’ll posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For size I believe it is superior than TTK because you almost cannot cheat on it like adding body weight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
