Would anyone be interested in a GRIP board?

[Bonkme2]

I know some of you guys train your grip alot.
I've got a set of the CoC's and just bought an Ivanko SuperGripper to try to get past the point I'm stuck at.
I've also got a few other little contraptions around the house to try to make my grip stronger.

Since it's more of a specialized kind of thing, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a board specifically devoted to grip training.
I was going to ask about it, but it wouldn't really be that much fun if I was the only one there.

 

[Bonkme2]

Haha
So that's going to be a big NO...

oh well...

that would be a tad overkiill dont ya think?..i mean , a couple threads and you covered almost all you can about grip.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Yeah, there isn't too much to cover about grip. Not enough to require a board. I do love training my grip though. I wanna rig up a homemade Titan's Telegraph device. ^_^

 

[Bonkme2]

Well, you won't close a #4 CoC without some special training.

Bend a nail, tear a deck of cards in half, crush a walnut in your bare hands.

Homemade training devices, store bought stuff.

Personal records, records of other pros you've seen, training styles, crushing grip training, pinch grip training, wrist and forearm work.


That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Not just some simple training you do after your bicep workout. Or hanging off a pull up bar (static hold) so you can hold your deadlift weight without straps.

I'm talking about being able to pinch grip 2 plates back to back. Or closing the Ivanko SuperGripper on the hardest setting.

I think this puts me in the minority...no biggie.

lol

No offense but I don't think many people would be interested in a grip board. Not exactly a topic that illicits plenty of discussion.

That's ok guys, I got it. Noone is interested. Nobody trains their grip like that around here.
I'll get my fix from the link that kingc posted.

Let the thread die already.

I like your idea. I dont think its wrong at all. just not the demographic here. Not as long as they make wrist wraps so people can "target" their muscles. whatever! i thought training was about eliminating weakness, not increasing the gap.

I liked your idea, maybe not for an entire board but some good heartfelt discussion on certain topics. This is just not the place apparently. Too many easy ways out, wrist wraps, specific machines. No one wants to work hard anymore.

thats like an ab board IMO

 

[he-man]

i love grip training - maybe get something going in the strongman forum or a sticky here in the training forum.

 

[Tom Treutlein]

A sticky sounds like a more solid idea. I love grip training as well.

 

[KillahBee]

I am in. Sounds like a very very good idea

Rather than a board, why not write up a very comprehensive post/faq and get it stickied here, or linked in one of the training stickies on this board. I am sure you have a lot of knowledge to share on it and I know that I for one would benefit by it.
