Default Re: Useful Grip Training Article

I just received my second order!! I went a little overboard but I would have lost the money if I had moved up limits anyhow! rofl

I got the BOA weighted skipping rope
the Hol-it-up Dumbbell bar
the CC trainer (100lb) and sport (80lb) models
the hand gripper helpers
the expand your hand bands
the eagle loops
the dexterity balls level 1 and 2
and the Mastery of Hand Strength book

Yah I over did it.

I have not been doing much training with the #1 gripper that I had. I could not close it and I hurt both of my pinky fingers by trying to hard to often. That's what I think happened anyway. Both pinkies felt like I severely sprained them for about 5 days after I stopped trying the #1. They almost feel normal now.

I have been doing pinch lifts with some plates I had laying around and some wrist curls also.

I'm happy I got the easier grippers. I can close them for reps and it is much more fun. The #1 was just to hard for me to be trying so often. I will still do negatives with the #1.

I will be taking things slow till I read the book and am sure my poor pinkies have recovered fully. I also need to read those boards more there is so much info there. Just wanted to brag about my new toys and let you all know I'm in for the long haul I'm just slow out of the gate. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
