Heavy Handles and Heavy Grips

I have some recently added some new toys to my gym. I have added a full set of Heavy Grips hand gripper and 2 pair of Heavy Handles 1" and 2". I origanlly got these got these for grip training but have found a ton of great uses for these, well beyond grip! By the way, when you order the whole set you will get a cool duffle bag. Yeah I got the whole damn thing. Over the years I collected kind of a grab bag of odd grippers but never had a full set, and I really think getting a complete set will improve my training. I have also had my eye on the Heavy Handles for a couple years now and I will say I was not dissappointed.

I have incorporated Heavy Grips and Heavy Handles in to several of my workouts. My favorite use for the Heavy Handles is in my tricep workout. Now I use the Heavy Handles a little different than most, as you will see in my next article on tricep training. If you would like to see a complete set of exersices as designed by the creator of Heavy Handles check out http://www.heavyhandle.com/exercises/index.html .

"The Heavy Grips™ hand gripper series was developed for athletes who want to take the training of their grip strength to the next level. These high quality aluminum-handled hand-grippers are crafted with 50 inch-force-lb torque increments from 100lbs to 350lbs so that you can train your grip similar to training any other bodypart-- by increasing resistance. This will finally allow you to build the huge forearms and crushing grip you have been unable to achieve by doing endless reps with plastic-handled hand-grippers.If you want to develop serious hand strength for a sport, or just want to impress your friends, than the Heavy Grips™ hand grippers are the perfect choice for you! If you're worried about working hard, getting sore hands and possibly some calluses on your fingers, than this product is not for you!"

"The Heavy Handles™ are available in either 1" ergo handles or 2" knurled handles(2" handle shown at right) and for reference purposes, we will call the weight shaft with the cable attachment ring at the end 'Shaft A' and the weight shaft in-line with the handle "Shaft B"."

My interest in Strength Sports started at an early age. I started training in middle school with the purpose of improving my abilities on the football field. It wasn't until several years after I stopped playing football that I started to participate in competitive strength sports. My first entry in to strength sports was when I walked in to Bushwhackers Country Bar in Ralston Nebraska the night of an armature armwrestling tournament. I took second place that night with more that a dozen guys in my weight class. More importantly I met Mary McConnaughey, who became a life long friend and was the person who taught me how to armwrestle. For the next 10 years I competed in the American Armsport Association contest in Nebraska and Iowa.

AAA or the American Armsport Association is 1 of the 2 major armwrestling sanctioning bodies in the United States. It was originally called the American Armwrestling Association, but later changed under the advice of the IOC. AAA is the United States affiliate for the WAF or the World Armwrestling Federation. AAA was founded over 40 years ago by Bob O'Leary. Today Frank and Karen Bean serve as the associations Executive Directors. AAA governs the rules and regulations for the sport in the United States and is the largest promoting force for the sport in the USA.

I have not armwrestled since 2003 but maybe in 2012 I will have a one night only comeback!
