no. not in the least.peanut butter said:urban, could the 'hub-style pinch gripper' from ironmind be considered as an adjustable block weight.
I'd tell him to get a tougher gripper... but then again, it's working for him, so who am I to say stop? But it doesn't seem like you would need that kind of endurance in your forearms to swing a bat maybe 7 times max.Tap112 said:Cant hurt to use the grippers though. Mike Piazza (baseball player - future hall of famer) is known for having the strongest grip and one of the quickest bat speeds. When he came to the Mets, he took a grip test and his grip was so strong that he broke the machine. He used to just do 1000 contractions with a gripper in one hand and then switch, repeat, etc.
Yeah, and squeezing the gripper 1000 times in each hand sounds like a great way do develop carpal tunel in your wrists and arthritis in your hands. I would also tell him to cut back on the reps for his furture health. Just my opinion though.Urban said:I'd tell him to get a tougher gripper... but then again, it's working for him, so who am I to say stop?
