The most frustrating thing about the Inch Dumbbell is the rotation that takes place when you try to lift it and tears right out of your grasp. In this article, I talk about how to reduce the rotation of the dumbbell in order to increase time under tension with it in your hand.

Gripper Calibrating

I plan on doing a bit of Gripper calibrating over the next couple of weeks or so to see where my grippers stand. I did a little bit tonight, but don't want to post as I have not gotten a weight for my strap and attachments.

In case you are interested, here is a similar design of calibrator to which I am using. I have referenced this set-up in a couple of the Grip Strength Radio shows.
