Pinch Block Curl – New NAGS Event

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

This year at the NAGS Championship, the annual championship for North American Grip Sport, there will be a new event introduced, the Pinch Block Curl.

This event is a hybrid event, meaning it will test more than one discipline of Grip Strength.

It primarily tests wrist strength, just like a Plate Curl does.

It also tests thumb strength in having to pinch lift the Pinch Block Curl apparatus and keep it steady in the hand throughout the range of motion, and finger strength to support against the leverage.

On top of that, there is a requirement for a strong and mobile forearm.

With all of these facets of ability being tested, this event will be very interesting to watch indeed.

Diesel Power Products, my new equipment branch, is supplying the Pinch Block Curls for NAGS Championship, and they are now in production.

In fact, you can buy one here in my store: NAGS Pinch Block Curl.

This piece of equipment, while sure to become a hit within Grip Sport, just as the Sledge Hammer Choke has, will also prove to be useful in training for one of the most enigmatic feats of Grip Strength that is out there – The Plate Curl.

The Plate Curl is just like what it sounds – you pick a weight plate up by the rim and attempt to curl it, just like you would a dumbbell, with bicep strength. This lift, of course, demands tremendous wrist, finger and thumb strength in order to complete it, especially when moving beyond the 25lb/10kg plate to the 35lb/15kg and the 45lb/20kg plate.

For a quick demonstration of how the lift will be performed at NAGS, watch the video below.
