Cheap DIY Grip Strength Tools – Block Weights

October 3, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Jedd from the Diesel Crew shows you his collection of block weights.

Block Weights are a great tool for your open handed pinch grip training.

Jedd usesa great variety of tools, like

  • Blobs (Fatmans, Next Gen’s, Legacy’s, Blob50′s, etc)
  • Dumbbell Heads (severed, broken or cut heads of a dumbbell, especially Hex Blocks)
  • Chunks (pieces of iron, steel or stone that are shaped like Blobs/Block Weights)
  • Globs (dumbbell heads from globe-shaped dumbbells)
  • Scale Weights (block-shaped weights with handles used in industry for calibrating scales)
  • Weight Plates (somehow attached to form a solid structure, i.e. 6-tens duct taped together)
  • Dumbbells (inverted and lifted by the ends)

Just pick up something odd and heavy.
