When I am at the commercial gym, I use a small gym towel to reproduce the Fat Bar effect. I have also used a piece of foam pipe insulation that I split lengthwise. BTW, I am new to your blog and I am very impressed. I signed up for the feed. I divide my workouts between a commercial gym, my home gym and the jungle gym at a local park.

Another quick option we've used is wearing thick gloves when training. It makes everything a grip challenge. Good job! Smitty Great post Ross.

I went to lowes and saw 1 1/2 black pipe. It was about 4 something a foot unless you bought the whole 10 foot pipe. Then it was like 2.25 per foot (22.50 for the whole pipe) got the guy to cut 2 - 1 and a half foot pieces and that left a 7 foot piece. so for $22.50 and some hose clamps I got a 2" thick barbell and 2 dumbbells. (2" is the approx. outer measurement on a 1 1/2 inch black pipe.) After getting them and using them, I definitely felt the work in my grip and forearms, big time! It has been a great addition to my workout equipment. For those who have olympic weight plates (about 2″ holes) here is another solution. I went to lowes and saw 1 1/2 black pipe.

It's your boy Chuck. People this man is correct as always. Ross i heeded this advice along time ago when i purchased (II) Since i've been doing hand training & my hands have definitley gotten stronger, & definitley no more pain in my hands. I have to admit for years i never did hand training until i came across the (II) manual, as always all of your work is just without a doubt the greatest stuff any athlete could ever come across on this earth. All of your material is wonderful but i have to admit there is just something about that (II) manual Ross. I love the S**T outta that book man. Please, Please, Please, i'm praying that you come out with some new material. Another dvd would be off the hook!!! Hey Ross! It’s your boy Chuck.
