Depending on how in depth you wish to go with hand strength, it may help to check out the ironmind website. When it comes to hand and forearm strength, they are hard to beat. You may also check out the book titled Mastery of Hand Strength by John Brookfield. It may even be floating around online...
I'll be heading to the gun stores to get the best deals on the "used" (never before fired, still in the box) guns that were all bought up during the panic buying.
Very interesting thread. After reading through this thread, I thought I would drop in and share a post that was sent to me by a friend. It's a bit long, but worth a read. It is as follows:
"We are seeing the most draconian measures enforced at all levels of government that we've ever seen in...
I haven't posted here for some time, but after reading this post I felt compelled to put in my thoughts for the op. I certainly hope that this post is not real, however assuming that it is, I will base my comments as such. Op, you must understand the reason for the friction you have received...
Welcome. Spend some time reading through the posts. Most general questions that can be asked are already answered somewhere on this site. This place is a great community to expand and share knowledge with many experienced people that are always eager to help. OH...and only wear gloves if they...
I can't remember who said it, but the following quote is one of my favorites... "Leg pressing when you can squat is like masturbating when you're dating a porn star. It just don't make sense."
That is exactly what I am talking about. Then you have the ones who have absolutely no idea what they are doing, trying to be trainer. I sh** you not, we have a new member in there doing this who has a MULLETT. I'm talking Joe Dirt style mullett. They could actually be doubles as they look that...
I will definitely be keeping my eye out on craigslist, and social media again this year. Surely I can find a steal somewhere. I just have a feeling I wont be finding a Duffalo bar though...but hell ya never know.
You are absolutely right Snake. It's amazing what the new years crowd will purchase without having any knowledge as to what they are actually buying. Hell, I picked up a Texas squat bar off craigslist a couple years back....for 150.00. It had never been used.
This is very true. If only I could get them to invest in some new weight equipment, and not cardio machines. I was chatting with the gym manager today, and she said that they haven't even began their new year membership sale. Looks like I will be fighting this crowd longer than anticipated...
Oooooh you are fortunate. It was so crowded that there were actually lines formed waiting for equipment. I have never seen a new year's crowd like that before.
Well the new years resolution crowd has struck. Please don't take me wrong, as I am all for people wishing to improve themselves, but tonight when I walked in to the gym.....Christ on a cracker!!! It was my primary deadlift night, and it was so packed that it wasn't even possible to begin an...
Well honestly, others who have more experience in hypertrophy style training would probably be able to lend better advice than I could. I suppose you could put them in at the end of a triceps focused workout, or if you were trying to get extra volume in, focusing on the top end portion of the...
I wasn't aware that the slingshot had even been altered. Suppose I am further behind in the times than I thought. I also agree about the overload. I only use it as a supplemental exercise when in a competition block. When transitioning between raw, and equipped, it has really helped bring up my...
Nothing wrong with spending a little quality time with your favorite piece of equipment. My ex wife once sent me a picture of my Texas squat bar, and told me I always spent more time with it than I did her. I simply replied that I only did that, because it reminded me so much of her. When she...
In my opinion it's just better built, and feels more natural when pressing I've beat the hell out of mine, and it's still going strong. Last I knew they also offered 2 different models. The regular and super. I can't imagine what the super ram would feel like. It must be more closer to actually...
I've used the slingshot a couple times. I thought that it was an "ok" training tool. I just didn't like the overall feel of it. At the advice from a friend, I ended up buying a Ram from titan, and absolutely love it. To each their own I suppose but after using the Ram I wouldn't ever use a...
