Pinch Grip Trainer

1.5" and 3.5"
Pinch Grip Trainer
  • Pinch Grip with the L/R 3 x 60 sec
  • First set: using the 1.5" pinch grip
  • 2nd and 3rd set: using 3.5"pinch grip
  • Current weight: 10 lbs
  • Goal: To increase Pinch Grip strength
  • Thoughts: Since this is the beginning of adding this to my exercise program, it is reasonable to treat this as my neuromuscular education phase. In one week (June 14th, 2015), I will progress the weight higher. It seems logical to aim for my long term goal (LTG) as being able to pinch grip half my body weight with my L/R arms. 
  • BW/2= 165 lbs /2= 82.5 lbs on each arm
  • LTG: I will be able to pinch grip 82.5 lbs with the L/R arm for 60 seconds. 
  • References: I adapted this tool from this person's site http://theweakmachine.com/?category=climbing
