Homemade Grip Machine

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated.

 

Got barbells, been using the grip machine now for 1 week, can feel a difference already in grip strength, particularly when climbing, advancing up the rope etc.

 

Thanks again for the responses.

These should be banned, I feel some people would use a better grip to strangle someone else!

I think you need a licence for that ! And dont run it on red, either !

Has anyone tried a powerball to increase hand strength? Its a ball inside a ball that works on gyroscopic effect, it weighs about 200g but when its spinning it creates a weight of up to 18kg. real good for increasing hand/lower arm strength, most rock climbing shops sell them. or amazon.

Yeh I tried one of those ! good fun ! I recommend (as a qualified personal trainer) regularly climbing trees for all round general strength inc. the hands ! Thats why I started doing the job !

yeah i got one of the power balls, i use it a lot for rock climbing and its really smart as its well effective. but you can dump it in the car or whatever and it takes up no space. i'd def say they are worth it.
