Anybody use those grip strengtheners?
|
I'm an engineering student and a climber which unfortunately means that I struggle to get to the gym regularly. I'm thinking about buying one of those grip strengtheners like https://www.amazon.com/Kootek-Strenghthener-Resistance-50-75-100-125-150-Adjustable/dp/B01780EY2Y/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KVC8XKQ58PTJ5TGCETTN |

would be much better. squeezing with your hand is not a substitute for supporting your body weight. |

I got the kootek ones a few months back and it has made a noticeable improvement in my pinch strength, which is what I got it for. |

Trust me, spend that money on a hangboard instead. |

Grip Pro Trainier rings are much better than the Black Diamond ring. |

One time at Neptune's in Boulder, I dismissed the utility of those finger trainers by making a jerk off motion and stating "That's probably more effective training than these" or something like that. I found out years later that it offended her. |
