Glad the links worked.
If you have any questions let me know.
I do suggest that you buy one other gripper that you can close for reps maybe the IM trainer, the other option is the Ivanko Supper Gripper since it's adjustable.

I live in an apartment and use a weighted pick axe handle as a sledge so yes I know it gets tricky. Avoid hitting the wife, computer , tv, pets etc. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Same problem when I train Sai, Han-bo or Bokken. Sledge's primary use is for leverage exercises which are great for the forearms.

I have yet to train kettlebells seriously. First have to get my own for a start.
I've seriously weight trained since the mid 80's when I was in the service and I enjoy it but I do know that standard routines can get boring. Having said that all my heavy stuff in in storage till we get a real place to live. So all I'm left with is DBs, sledge and grip work. The rest has to be bodyweight for the while.
