    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.

    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:

    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:

    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:
