After finding these gathering dust while moving I decided to pull them out while I'm waiting for things to load (man i hate dial-up). Now I'm bored and wondered if anyone can make these really, really one-dimensional pieces of equipment interesting. Or anyone got any training ideas other than laboriously grip grip grip Any Ideas??
No, you're really going to have to spell it out to me. Like you grap the ends and squeeze really hard?
Is it for those REALLY tought nuts. You know the one that you just can't seam to get out of its shell. You go away for two weeks and work out using these things and then when you get back you know that nuts gonna pay.
Re: Re: Hand grips Whoops noticed I must have deleted part of that message. Ruddy sensitive touchpad! Read again or alternatively: Anyone have any interesting training tips for them rather than grip, grip , grip....hold.....grip???
Not exactly. The loop at the end has a rope strung thru it. You attache one end to the grips, the other end to a tall building, then you jump off. If your grip is strong, you don't die!
If you come to training craig I'll show you the benifit by grabbing you round the neck!! I've lost 5kgs since my exams, so sparring sparring sparring t training this week!
Oh I see! you attach the end to something and tug it? couldn't you train your grip more easily by squeezing a ball of paper? squeeze...tighter.tighter...GRIND... wait a few secs...do the other hand?
Someone once told me it doesnt matter how much resistance you get, if you make your muscles do the work they will grow. It came from a friend of mine who had broken his arm when a lorry shutter fell on it (have you called claims direct recently) and after it had healed he re strengthened his arm not using weight but an empty tomatoe sauce bottle. He said it wasnt the weight that mattered it was the fact that he was putting pressure on his arm. Is it the same thing with the hand grips, couldn't you use anything?
naw, it's the resistance that matters. Maybe a solid object has the most resistance to offer. i don't know.
Notice the spring mechanism on the top providing resistence meaning you have to constantly work to provide the grip to close the mechanism. Hold on to your hats' and I'll put pictures off it working. I'm actually shocked you've never seen these though!!!
Here you go,.... what a lovely hand!! Yeuchh, I'm doing that freaky thing with my thumb again though!
Any of you pups remember Ms Wagner as 'The Bionic Woman'? The opening sequence had her bursting tennis balls with her Bionic grip! Made my eyes weep something fierce it did!
