Sonny Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I've finally started using my IM pinch block more after I put some athletic tape on it to make it a little less slick. Man, what a difference. Anyways, I really have no clue as to how I should use it. Do you perform deadlifts with it or high pulls for reps? Or do you hold it for time?

ouzo12 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 hi sonny, i have started with my IM pinch block a few days ago. it´s really difficult to lift - but i don´t want to put tape on it. i want to lift it like it is!..very slick i´m lifting it every 4 days and try to hold it for 10 seconds. and i t increase the weight in every training (1,1lb in every training) and i do 3 sets i hope it´s not bad for my gripper training to train with the pinch block (but i train always after the grippers) how far are you with your #2 gripper?

Sonny Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 I can close the #2 twice with my right hand, but the completion of the second rep is basically a quick touch of the handles and then my grip gives out. My left hand is a little slower, sometimes if I get a really good set I can come within half an inch of closing it, other times I'm not even close. After I take a break I'm gonna start working on upping the reps with the #2 and maybe do some inverted closes too! I've also done no sets with the #1. Thanks for the pinch block input. It should actually help your crushing strength a bit because your working your thumb with pinching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
