When I am at the commercial gym, I use a small gym towel to reproduce the Fat Bar effect. I have also used a piece of foam pipe insulation that I split lengthwise. BTW, I am new to your blog and I am very impressed. I signed up for the feed. I divide my workouts between a commercial gym, my home gym and the jungle gym at a local park.

]]> Comment on Finding A Tire To Flip by bob http://rosstraining.com/blog/2008/09/10/finding-a-tire-to-flip/#comment-73209 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:11:50 +0000 http://rosstraining.com/blog/2008/09/10/finding-a-tire-to-flip/#comment-73209 It occurs to me when I look at the hammer on the tire that this is kind of the opposite of swinging a dumbbell or (if you buy expensive iron) a kettlebell. the same swing of a heavy object, but with impact (easier to let it hit than let the momentum die out as you swing it up). Might this be something to suggest in place of swings *up*? Both will get the heart going! Also, this is one of those inexpensive training methods. Very affordable.

Another quick option we've used is wearing thick gloves when training. It makes everything a grip challenge. Good job! Smitty Great post Ross.

I went to lowes and saw 1 1/2 black pipe. It was about 4 something a foot unless you bought the whole 10 foot pipe. Then it was like 2.25 per foot (22.50 for the whole pipe) got the guy to cut 2 - 1 and a half foot pieces and that left a 7 foot piece. so for $22.50 and some hose clamps I got a 2" thick barbell and 2 dumbbells. (2" is the approx. outer measurement on a 1 1/2 inch black pipe.) After getting them and using them, I definitely felt the work in my grip and forearms, big time! It has been a great addition to my workout equipment. For those who have olympic weight plates (about 2″ holes) here is another solution. I went to lowes and saw 1 1/2 black pipe.

It's your boy Chuck. People this man is correct as always. Ross i heeded this advice along time ago when i purchased (II) Since i've been doing hand training & my hands have definitley gotten stronger, & definitley no more pain in my hands. I have to admit for years i never did hand training until i came across the (II) manual, as always all of your work is just without a doubt the greatest stuff any athlete could ever come across on this earth. All of your material is wonderful but i have to admit there is just something about that (II) manual Ross. I love the S**T outta that book man. Please, Please, Please, i'm praying that you come out with some new material. Another dvd would be off the hook!!! Hey Ross! It’s your boy Chuck.
