-Hangboard: Not a true hangboard, but these smaller "rocks" are attached to a pull-up bar for developing hand strength specific to rock climbing. They have two-finger pockets, a 3/4" ledge, and an open sloper. This is for training static finger strength, and supporting strength.
-Softball and Baseball: Each has a hole drilled through it with an eye-bolt. They are then attached to the loading pin on the far right, and are lifted "eagle-tallon" style to develop total hand, grasping strength.
-IronMind's Eagle Loops : These loops are for attaching to a pull-up bar or dead-lift bar, to isolate specific fingers, or to pull using only the tips of the fingers. A great tool for developing open hand strength and supporting strength for rock climbing.
-IronMind's "Rolling Thunder": Attached to the loading pin, this is the standard for thick handled, revolving one-hand deadlift bars. At 2+3/8", this handle places all stress from lifting a stack of weights directly to the hand and forearm. More so, the revolving handle ensures noweight is held to your hand by friction. It's all finger strength. This is a must have for developing general hand strength.
-3/8" Hot Rolled Steel, 3-foot sections: Perfect for recreational scrolling in to tight little coils. This blasts the muscles in the chest, back, shoulders, arms, and is all dependant on hand and wrist strength. After the 4th coil, you should be sweating profusely, and your hands should stop functioning.
-IronMind's and BeefBuilder's Heavy-Duty Grippers: The standard store-bought gripper takes about 40lbs to close. These grippers start at 100lbs, and move up to over 300lbs. Grip away on singles and heavy negatives, and your crusing strength will skyrocket.
-A 25lb hex-head Block Weight: This half of a 50lb dumbbell will stump the average guy, as it takes a strong thumb and a strong open-hand pinching strength to lift.
-Nails: Bend them. The strongest chest can't crush a nail, as all power needs to be transferred through the wrist, on to the hand, and then to the nail. If your hands and wrists are weak, you will never bend a 60-penny nail (1/4" x 6").
-Pony Clamp: Great for developing dynamic thumb strength. Thumbs are part of what forced the evolution of our brains, and our dynamic thumbs are what separates us from animals, but how many weightlifters have ever though about training thumb strength? When your thumbs get stronger, your entire hand will get stronger, and You will BE stronger.
Top row: Heavy Duty Hand Grippers: On the left is the Lemley's left-hand gripper. Then Two IronMind #3's, a Tetting Super Elite, and an IronMind #4.
Block Weights: From the left we have "The Blob", half of a York 100. Then a 45lb, 40lb, 35lb, and 25lb hex-head blobs.
Bucket of Sand: This is for sand grabbing. Thrust the hand into the bucket and squeeze the sand as hard as you can. Then extend the fingers fully against the resistance. I squeeze intensely for low reps, and extend for high reps. It leaves the forearm swollen and fatigued, truly a great work out for total hand health.
Thick Handled Dumbbell: Here is a 2.5" handled dumbbell loaded to 100lbs. Under it is a 2.8" handle. Both greatly change the entire concept of the lift. Instead of relying on a 1" handle and a good upper body, this lift is all grip. The hand cannot fit all the way around the handle, so the hand must squeeze tightly to lift it. Also, the bell spins away from the hand, so a strong thumb is needed.
Titans Telegraph Key: An IronMind Product used for dynamic thumb/pinching work. An awkward device at first, but once you can find a way to micro-load, it as a valuable tool for training hand strength.
Deck Pinch: This block of wood simulates a deck of cards so you can specifically train the grip needed to tear a deck.
IronMind Hub: A round hub to train for lifting a 45lb plate by the hub.
IronMind Pinch Block: A wide, smooth block for pinch-grip training.
