Nope! I got soft little hands, hands more designed for feeling other men's sweaty bodies! Where's the 'assf*cking' icon?

benders?


do you aspire to be a bender, LOK?

[LOK]

do you aspire to be a bender, LOK?

not so much really.. but I have always had pretty strong hands and I like training them as it's somthing you can do while at work etc.. I'm going to order the 2 and 3 COC grippers.. I think the 3 must be pretty hard. I've been doing some block weight stuff lately and want to get or make a "blob" as well

[Roll With The Punches]

practice your COC grip and you'll be a true bender

[LOK]

practice your COC grip and you'll be a true bender

I gotta order the number 2 and 3.

I got some nails to bend today

I dont have a real strict routine.. I just grip shit all the time.. I have a tennis ball at my desk and my COC gripper.. normally..

[Roll With The Punches]

is overtraining your forearms a concern? :dunno:

it's possible sure, but IMO not really a concern unless you are really going hard core

I'm close to closing the #2.

[LOK]

I'm close to closing the #2.

how is it Buddy? I have not ordered mine yet.. could you dominate the #1?

[Buddy Rydell]

The #1 is easy. The #2 really surprised me.

[LOK]

The #1 is easy. The #2 really surprised me.

Dayum! I need to get one!

I'm just waiting until I move as I already have everything packed away..including my #1

Do you think I should close it the first try?

[Buddy Rydell]

It wouldn't surprise me if you have a very good grip. Mine is better than average, but it is my fingers and not the muscles in my palm that are the strong point. To close the #2, you have to have a damn good pinchgrip.

[Roll With The Punches]

that gripboard is crazy

whole new concept to me

do alot of these people just train their grip and nothing else?

I was just reading up and found that board and I was blown away with how into people are! I mean, it's on a whole different level there!

I'm workin my pinch now, using block weights and also just with tennis/rubber balls at high volume.

[Buddy Rydell]

Well, I have a plate-loaded grip machine in the basement, and I was closing 150 on it, but I couldn't close the #2 Captains of Crush. We'll see this summer when I finish heavy training.

i think i'm gonna get into it :bears:


what's the #1 COC gripper like? how many reps can you do of it? i just have some regular grippers you can get from any store :dunno: i shit all over them...not sure if the 1 COC would be a step up or not....plus i dont wanna buy them and find out i cant make a dent in them at all

[LOK]

cool man,

if you can destroy the store bought plastic ones then I'd get the #1 that's what I did. I think it was pretty tough at first and I always felt I had a strong grip. I worked at a gym for years and at night would put all the weights away and carrying around the 45's and 100 lb plates makes your forearms, hands strong.

I can kill the #1 now.. I wanna order #2

I'd say go for the #1, if you can easily do the store ones, I wouldn't waste my time with the "trainer"

i think i'm gonna get into it :bears:

[LOK]

my name on the grip board is LOK222

[Roll With The Punches]

allright thanks :bears:

i suppose i can always start by getting the second hand to help and make it a goal to close with one hand


do you have beasty forearms, lok?

[Roll With The Punches]

repost that video of you squishing those milkduds so that we can witness your crushing power :bears:

How much can you deadlift LOK?

[LOK]

How much can you deadlift LOK?

not sure Hanzy..

I used to love to Bench, Squat.. etc.. but never really dead lifted much..

I did stiff legged's but not real heavy..

[Roll With The Punches]

LOL!!

I wonder if I can find that!

Let me look :lol:


:bears: where is it man?


do you have beasty forearms like popeye? you sound like you do

[LOK]

:bears: where is it man?


do you have beasty forearms like popeye? you sound like you do

ha ha.. I cant find that pic.. on my PC or on any of the photo sites I've used..

I wouldn't say POPEYE at all but I guess I have good sized forearms.. I was one of the few thta could carry the 100 plate with one hand witha pinch grip so that helped..

[Roll With The Punches]

I'm close to closing the #2.


hey buddy

i was reading a past thread on fightbeat about grippers and you were close to closing the #2 back in September 2005 :dunno:



so what happened...did you stop trying for a while or has it been that difficult?

[Buddy Rydell]

I stopped. :dunno:

I trained my grip like heck for awhile, and then I stopped. My grip has essentially stayed the same even though I don't train it.

Back in 2005, I had wicked finger strength, but the muscles in my palm were not so great. The tide has changed a bit, but since I have only been using the plate-loaded gripper, I haven't been specializing!

[CleanYourClock]

what happened clean your cock?

Bahhhh , the other day I was gonna make a joke but my fuckin building had a fire alarm and I had to leave .... :lol:

[The Genius]

I'm starting the 100 pushups for breakfast now.. http://www.100pushups.info/test.html

How are you doing with this?

[LOK]

I actually started that and read a bunch about pushups and started doing on a little different, from a guy named Armstrong,

I'm still on a mission to get 100 and also to get Planche pushups, I do handstand pushups already

I want to do a planche, 100 pushups and a one armed chin

How are you doing with this?

[The Genius]

If you ever get to planche level, post it!

[Hanzy]

Doing these mad exercises is what led you to a health scare LOK. You need to relax a bit with that stuff.

[LOK]

If you ever get to planche level, post it!

I will get it, and post when I do

the Planche is more obtainable for me I think than the one armed chin

[Roll With The Punches]

how are you finding the #2 LOK? :dunno:


i got the #1 and can do a few reps with my right hand but my left is really pissing me off :shit:

i dont want to use it anymore until my left is brought up to a similar strength, otherwise the gap between the 2 will keep growing

[LOK]

still have not got my 2

I haev the 1 that I can do just crazy amounts of reps with, I been doing other things, like tennis balls, rubber balls. fingertip pushups.. etc..

[Roll With The Punches]

did you end up buying one?

how was the transition from the #1 to the #2? how many reps can you do of it?


you're supposed to keep us updated on these things :warning:

[LOK]

Yeah, I got it..

I ordered it after I moved, now that i can get the #1 for a good 30-40 reps.. I got the #2 and it was pretty hard.. I can get a good 6 now and then some partials

did you end up buying one?

how often is good to train grip? is daily too much? :dunno:

[LOK]

I think with the easy one's daily is good..

I think these harder one's.. #1 and up.. only like 3 times a week is better

you are a powerful machine :clap:

Well, my grip finally let me down while I was doing deadlifts today, so I have to start training it specifically. :doh: :warning:

you know Buddy.. I have not been working with my grippers as much, the chinups seem to really be working my forearms

[Buddy Rydell]

I wasn't using mine at at all. I think hanging from the bar is a great way to develop grip strength. I'm gonna get creative and make myself improve my grip big time. I need to be able to at least hold my bodyweight with one hand in order to get to one-armed chinups eventually.

:bears: that's what I have been doing hanging from one arm.. at least once a day.. man.. I am going to be proud of myself when Iget a one armed Chin.. it seems a long way away

Longer for me than you, no doubt! :lol:

The one-handed handstand against the wall (for me) is pretty distant also. :lol: :lol:

I have not even thought about attempting the one arm handstand pushup.. maybe I'll try taking up one of my hands and see if I can at least hold it.. :lol:

[Buddy Rydell]

LOK,
I heard today that Captains of Crush have released 1.5, 2.5, and others. So even though I am a hair away from closing the 2, I should be able to train on the 1.5 no problem. That would get me over the 2 for sure. I'm gonna look into getting them today!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

pretty cool..

All I have been doing for Grip is this Valeo heavy ball I keep in my car, I just crush it while I drive.. also my slow chins I do daily, I do them just with my fingers so my forearms get worked

I actually had someone at work comment the other day, someone said "WHAT have you been doing? Your forearms look like they are exploding" :lol:

[Roll With The Punches]

LOK can you post pictures of your powerful forearms?




i've recently been getting into doing 'towel chin ups'....what do you think of those for grip/forearm? they seem to be pretty good so far :clap:
