Hey, houd- here's one for ya:

[Norton Sharley]

What fascinating videos, thank you.

I don't understand this. Just got my pb of 11,320 without trying. It seems I do better when I don't try. What kind of sport/activity is this bizarre sensation sweeping the globe!?

My ball is only a few days old and I seem to get better scores on Peaks'. Is there a level of breaking in needed with Powerballs?

CoC seems to be helping my ball..

CoC seems to be helping my ball..

Corrosion of Conformity?  Saw them years and years ago when they supported Metallica (I think).  Kinda lost track of them since.
Balls seem to get slower with time/ wear, so they are best when brand spanking shiny and new.

What fascinating videos, thank you.  

Glad you found them helpful.

Captains of Crush. I tested a new killer session of campussing,Coc and leg raises last night  and it went down a treat.

Captains of Crush.

I do hope you listen to the song whilst working that gripper!

It seems I do better when I don't try.

yeah i'm hearing you on FM. its a bit like slab climbing.

[Monolith]

galpinos, that Captains of Crush song is fucking weird.  He's one of those Christian death metal artists isn't he

He seems quite grounded to me. From his website:

Life has been more than a journey. It’s been a hard fought war. Haunted by nightmares and a spiritual descent into inner personal hell, Laing is no stranger to the darkness.

If I was into Christaioan Deathe Metal, I could think of no higher accolade than being commisioned to do the CoC Song.

Does it not get you psyched?

Houdini's favourite love machine

*mops lap with kleenex

The historical record is clear.


That's a fucking great vid by-the-by.  Norton!  Stop being a cunt and get a powerball.

Peaks

Could this be the start of an official nickname? 

No, it's Michael Schumacher or nothing!

[Plattsy]

Having read the whole thread and laughed alot. Just ordered myself a Powerball cos my open hand and pinch strength is crap. Looking forward to the uber vice like grip. Whats a typical workout and how often people?

[Houdini]

Paul_B, this, I believe, is the source of your low score.  There's no way you can control all that 8B-ness w/such a grip.

May I suggest a change to the SPOD (Satan, Prince of Darkness) grip: gripped between the thumb, middle and ringfinger, as if saluting Satan, the index and pinky supporting the ball a little either side.



Et viola, 12K sinch, shamone!

[Jim]

11614, a slight improvement, enough to pinch Obi's spot. Not quite 12k tho

[Houdini]

Effort Jim, how are those forearms coming along?  Soon, there shall be no loaf you cannot knead.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

11614, a slight improvement, enough to pinch Obi's spot. Not quite 12k tho

I'm not 'aving that:
Right hand
11871

Left hand
11213

on my screamer.

[Monolith]

Just pathed 11,435 watch out Jim. I've a week off and not doing anything else.

[Houdini]

The Dispensary users should club together & buy a metal 350Hz powerball, really you should.  I would.  Apparently, a few goes on the metal followed by a PB blast on the usual 250hz model = massive gains on the usual.

[GCW]

Nice, and 55 quid.  Tempted?  Hell, yeah.

[Houdini]

Down to 55 shizzles you say?


Isn't there some kind of bulk order - buy 4 for some silly price?  Where is it 55 pounds?  That's like, not that much.

It's so shiny!

[GCW]

Amazon.
Get in the fucking queue.

[Houdini]

 The Behemoth of powerballs


Damn it!  This powerball habit will send me into gainful employment before too long.



Must . .  have . . .  shiny . . . new . . .  powerball . . .  must have shiny new shiny new shiny new . . .

Have a look here

[Monolith]

Looks good. But 55!? What about a communal UKB one? Each contributor gets a month with it then post it on to the next fool

[Houdini]

I'm not wealthy either Mono, but that's daft, will you insure it too when it inevitably gets lost in post/dropped/broken?  The cost of postage of a half KG lump?


I think the cost can be reduced further with bulk order direct from HQ.  Unsure; either way 55 pounds/80€ seems reasonable for a crafted and balanced device that will give you arms of a beast.  I'll get one sooner or later as I'm getting old, and you can treat yourself to things without guilt when you're older.     Isn't that right GCW?

1/2 oz dope = 55 quid.

Good bottle wine = 8/10 quid (for those UK lubbers).
