JasonL Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Everyone always talks about Crush/Hold/Pinch..the Trinity of Grip Training. ANyone reallyinto 1,2,3,4 Finger Pullups and Deadlifts..the More Painful side of Grip training? Is this a lost art..seems like its dying off?? JasonL Quote Jason Lutan You're not your job.

austinslater Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 Try 2 dinger deadlifts. Ive only tried theam a couple of times but the forearm soreness was incredible. I would like to see more of this kind of stuff as well. Austin Quote Austin Slater West Richland, Wa
Woodchuck Posted March 28, 2004 Posted March 28, 2004 One, two and three finger deadlifts are good, but I usually just do overhand thick bar deadlifts to work all fingers evenly. One and two finger deadlifts can also be dangerous to someone new to gripping who hasn't developed stronger tendons and lower arm muscles yet. Definitely a good strength excercise though.

foggymountainmuscle Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I can do one finger pullups, per hand, on each finger. This is an alternate grip. I can do same grip with the middle and ring fingers. Two finger deadlifts are killer, but they don't hurt as much as 1 finger deadligting lifting.

bencrush Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I still occasionally perform middle/ring finger deadlifts. Both the double overhand and mixed grip methods. They are both USAWA lifts and pretty fun to do, but I definitely agree that there is an increased risk of injury with these lifts. I have heard that for a man of over 200 pounds 110% of bodyweight on the double overhand is good. And 130% of bodyweight on the mixed grip is good. Kevin Fulton is the only person I've heard of that can do over 400 on the mixed grip lift. I'm sure there are others though... Quote

bencrush Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 How about it? Dennis Rogers? That would be HUGE and I'd have to see it to believe it. Quote
showlarson Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I have heard conflicting reports about 1,2,3 finger deads. Some say that it will help crush (ie gripper) others say it will not help. Anyone have any insight?? Quote Shane Larson "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional."
slazbob Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I have heard conflicting reports about 1,2,3 finger deads. Some say that it will help crush (ie gripper) others say it will not help. Anyone have any insight?? that's all the old-timers did, along with thick-bar lifts. herman goerner had one of the best dynomometer readings ever! although his performance was estimated. so i would say it helps everything.

Matt Van Weele Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 How about it? Dennis Rogers? That would be HUGE and I'd have to see it to believe it. It was a lift credited to Jean Baillargeon. Some of the things he and his brothers were able to do were unreal.

foggymountainmuscle Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I believe single/ring finger lifting will develope the tendons of the fingers on the first joint. I feel 2 finger bar deadlifts develope the tendons of the finger's second joint. The finger tips are developed through hub lifting and finger tip presses. Of course only if you go very heavy. This is all my observation based biofeed back I get when doing these lifts, so I can't speak for others.

JeffPeterson Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I'm really into these finger lifts. i love chinning with differant fingers. Deadlifting heavy with single fingers is very painful, but can be fun. Quote
isaac Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 What's a mixed grip? I thought it was like an alternate grip. Also where do you put the other fingers when you do 1 and 2 finger lifts? Quote
JeffPeterson Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I curl mine out of the way as much as possible. I also use eagle loops sometimes which helps. Quote
Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Any type of deadlifts while useing the Iron Mind Eagle loops is great for fingers. And dumbell rollups or finger curls. negatives,over loads or holds on any gripper machine...you can even do that on the hammer strength gripper.

aeroman Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I used to have some Eagle Loops and worked up to doing 4 chins with the first two fingers of each hand. The only trick here is that I only inserted the tips of my fingers into the loops. That would really hurt my forearms.
