Homemade Softball and Counter Weight Training

On the ninth day of Gripmas my true love gave to me…. a Softball and Counter Weight!!  Seeing what I did with the softball in the video may or may not be new for you.  Many grip experts and coaches have been doing similar things to softballs and creating ways to train with them for years.  Coaches will also attach tubing and/or bands to the balls to do various shoulder exercises and many times they are used in a rehabilitative setting.

The counter weight I found is extremely challenging to train with.  I thought many of you might find that to be an interesting training tool.  The point here is; you never know what you might come across that you can use for your own personal training.  The beauty of this is that it is not traditional types of training and the body gets stimulated just a little differently.  Little variations like this can really help improve your strength and fitness gains quickly.

I post a lot of non-traditional lifts and exercises; but I need to emphasize not to neglect your traditional lifts like squats, dead lifts, bench press, cleans, and rows.  I am showing you some options to add variety into any training or fitness program so they do not become routine and boring.  Hey “old-school” lifts have always worked and they always will.  I am only assuming that if you are looking at my site; then you enjoy challenging your body to get the results you want.  This is the drive I have to share this information with you and knowing that I will help someone is very rewarding.

Thank you,

Jerry
