Basically i lift this barbel using my grip, or is cheating cause im digging my fingers inside the barbel (there's a space just below the weight im holding) allowing me lock my fingers

I’ve tried curling my wrist inward a bit it seems to make my forearms burn more. Using a lighter setting with higher reps.

Yeah so i can't really go above 32 kg with a baraban handgripper, idk why, i mostly struggle with the deeper part of the close.

Kinda disappointing since i've been stuck like this for almost a month at this point, i can barely do 8 reps

Double overhand not hook. Been doing a lot of grip training recently and it seems to be paying off

whenever i picked a heavy barbell or any straight bar to curl and then place it back down i get a slight shock in my forearms with a bit of pain. i assume i need stronger forearms, so my questions is how do you suggest i train them to deal with the pain.

it doesn’t hurt as much when using the ez bar fyi.

Added the fat grips to make it harder to grip the cannonball / sphere. PR at 30 lbs 😺

Been working on this one a good bit, comes preloaded with most implements but you can add your own, and you can add variations (like if you have one with stripped paint etc). Feats also have variations so for example a lift could have a variation of freestyle (for hub) or left hand or whatever you want.

It allows you to track all your PRs across the varieties of implements and feats including maximum reps at a certain weight, max weight (1rm) or hold time at weight.

You can plan upcoming workouts or competitions. This will allow you to set a plan for comp day and hopefully stick to it 🤣. You can also set up workout templates as without recipes for example "Heavy pinch day" with planned implements, reps and weights, then work through it.

It's an offline only app, meaning you don't need Internet access for it once it's installed.

Right now the app is in testing on the play store, hopefully will be able to release it in a couple weeks. Always looking for suggestions on how to make it better!

Any tips on trying to push past a plateau?

Just thought this was interesting I keep going up on captains of crush performance and I am currently close to closing the COC #3, but I cannot for the life of me get higher than this number on my GD Dyno 200. You would think better COC performance would also make raw grip strength go up but I guess not?

Maybe the Captains of crush grippers only train just your hand to be stronger mostly in the bottom half of your hand/fingers? Pinky/Ring finger, and middle finger as well as the surrounding forearm muscles, but you would think that would still make Dyno numbers go up? Can anyone explain this?

I have a below AVG hand at 7IN but I set the Dyno with the handle as far away as possible from the bottom handle. I wanted to get to 250LBS on this by now as I’ve been using COC grippers for the last 3 months but it doesn’t seem to change much. I wonder if there is a hard limit for my bodyweight/lean mass, I am currently at 157 pounds and 5:10 height meaning there is only so much muscle I can have but that doesn’t explain COC performance getting better and better. This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Only saw one guy perform this feat. I take grip and wrist control strength with the balancing part.

Anyone know how this handle compares to the RT or RGT?

Yes, I know you can always get a bigger inch dumbbell, or overload a trainer, but if you can lift a 172 pound inch dumbbell then you have accomplished the historical feat. I’m not referring to things like the Saxon bar where you can load it up to infinity. Are there other historical feats of grip strength with a definitive ending point to work towards and accomplish besides the inch dumbbell?

Does that make any sense at all?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much everyday products assume we have strong fingers.
Toothbrushes, utensils, pens, makeup brushes, kitchen tools — most are designed around a pinch grip. But for people with arthritis, stroke-related weakness, neurological conditions, injuries, or limited dexterity, the palm may be much stronger than the fingers.
I’m curious: what everyday object has become unnecessarily difficult for you, or for someone you care for, simply because it requires too much finger strength?
And what have you tried to make it easier?
I’m especially interested in the workarounds people have created themselves.

does this equals to fully closing it?

I just ordered a GD iron 80 that’s supposed to have a A and B option to change the resistance level. And I don’t know if I’m losing my mind but I can figure it out. I don’t even see a hole in the back to slide to adjust it, and I’m wiggling the hell out of the back of it and it’s not moving. Did I get a defective unit?
