>fucks up the tendons in your fingers for life
how though?

>>76476007
overtightens/overworks flexors which unless you never use your hands for anything but a gripper are likely already overworked as is. finger and elbow inflammation leading to injury are the result

what are you doing with them?

>>76476028
ah didn't know, thanks, make sense
the motion always seemed kinda unnatural

I climb a lot, so I don't need it anyway
just was curious

>>76476102
Indoors or outdoor? How do you get into climbing (solo)?

>>76476028
proof

>>76475995 (OP)
Bought one of these in June and have been using it every day. Now when I pick up a glass it shatters!

>>76476122
use them

This is why rice bucket is better

>>76475995 (OP)
I like to take mine down the gym and pretend it's a gun, when the girls come in to use the treadmill I aim at them and go PEW PEW PEW!

How do you improve grip strength then? I already know farmer carries and dead hangs

>>76475995 (OP)
this actually cured my tendonitis in my wrist, but okay.

>>76476336
tendons only respond to TOT, not hypertrophy or weight.
the stem cell is activated when stress is applied.

this is why people who do rock climbing can survive holding onto things for hours despite having little muscle mass while a roid tranny snaps his shit at the insertion point.
The more your tendons are activated, the more they replace their tendon mass with healthy/stronger tissue.
OP is shitposting because he tried to go max grip strength on an exercise that is suppose to be months of regular/longer pressure.
So he ripped the tendons at their grooves.

will this shit actually fuck up my wrists? what should i do instead?

>>76475995 (OP)
/fit/ says that every effective exercise will actually just injure you.
>Squats and deadlifts? You're going to herniate a disk bro
>Bench press? You're gonna get pinned under the bar and die bro
>Behind the neck press? Shoulder impingement bro, you're gonna tear your rotator cuff
>Preacher curls? That's a guaranteed bicep tear bro
>Grippers? That'll fuck up your tendons bro
>Running? Say goodbye to your kneecaps chucklenuts
>Dips? Those will kill your shoulders bro

>>76476344
wrists aren't fingers. you can strengthen your wrist without putting 100-150 pounds of force on the middle of your fingers for reps so this is still worthless.

>>76476496
Add machine knee extensions to that list. Banded ones are ok.

>>76475995 (OP)
I am so sick of you fearmongering dyels

>>76476562
and i'm sick of you risk averse anti-intellectual dyels advocating for the exercise equivalent of eating lead paint chips because the paint company said it's safe to.

/thread

>>76475995 (OP)
I got an easier way

>>76476112
>Indoors or outdoor?
both, but mostly indoor bouldering
got a gym within like a 2min walk from my work

but on some weekend going outdoors
mostly bouldering as well
but there are some shorter rope routes near me as well, which are fun from time to time

only during long weekend / vacations I'm heading for longer routes
(european) alps are like a 2h drive
mostly trad climbing then

>How do you get into climbing (solo)?
just search for bouldering gyms near you
it's accessible, fun and you build the relevant muscles (especially your finger flexor tendons)

also if you want to stay solo
you need auto-belays
which you won't find everywhere (indoors)

>>76476122
well you can strengthen the fuck out of your flexor with them with no opposing action this is literally a recipe for severe muscle imbalance that leads to pain and injury. practically every exercise already strengthens flexor idk why you'd want to do it even more.

>>76476353
yeah I rock climb and can easily rep a 40kg one of these. 88kg grip strength right hand That is more than eddie hall and I look dyel.

>>76476496
>You're going to herniate a disk bro
yeah if you ego lift
>You're gonna get pinned under the bar and die bro
literally just use safeties
>Shoulder impingement bro, you're gonna tear your rotator cuff
yeah if you ego lift
>That's a guaranteed bicep tear bro
yeah if you ego lift
>Say goodbye to your kneecaps chucklenuts
don't run in 5y old shoes with no support
don't overdo it
focus on correct style and you'll never have any problems
>Those will kill your shoulders bro
train flexibility and stability first and foremost

literally all the ones you named are safe with just 2 rule
>don't be a retard
>don't 1RM

>>76476122
It's self evident

>>76476496
Arm windmills don't injure you

how do I train my grip without hurting my fingers? I just did heavy deadlifts today and worked my grip without straps but not the middle digits of my middle finger hurts when I put pressure on it

>>76476123
Wait until you can crush an 8 ball

>>76476264
keyed

>>76476028
This is horseshit. I've actually used these to fix my tendonitis, they have the opposite effect of what you just said.
Unless you use them like a retard, which you probably are.

>>76478374
>how do I train my grip without hurting my fingers?
the core problem is that "training" your fingers (flexor tendon) takes a
very
very
very long time
and it's not the amount of training
just time your tendons take to build

that's also why climbing beginners all have a fairly similar progress in the first ~2-3y

>>76476353
but dont you need weight to make them tense? like doing farmer's walks with 5lbs versus 25lbs

>>76478505
so it's just over then, huh? I really believed we were all going to make it, how foolish of me.

>>76479002
why would you think that?

start training your grip, SLOWLY
start lower than you think
don't expect any beginner gains
and never "ego grip"

and your grip strength will improve without getting hurt
