The Maxi-pull is a feminine product!!!krampus wrote:Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is a maxi pull, I tried to google it but just got a bunch of pictures of feminine products
Jokes aside, is this contraption for sloper strength. Don't most hangboard come with a sloper or two on them?

My understanding is that the sloper is positive enough that it doesn't really test contact strength. Because the hold is so good, it doesn't put a lot of stress on your fingers, and tends to isolate forearm muscles, generating a pump without tweaking your fingers.JR wrote:The Maxi-pull is a feminine product!!!krampus wrote:Forgive my ignorance, but what the heck is a maxi pull, I tried to google it but just got a bunch of pictures of feminine products

pk has it right...it targets the forearms.
lee, I just built mine over the summer with help from brentucky...you should have seen us two gumbies trying to pull that off. and shortly after putting it up, well you know the rest of the story.

Wow, I get credit for that? I remember drinking beer and watching you work. Then I went back to doing pull-ups on huge jugs so I could get strong. I still don't know what my problem is.pigsteak wrote: lee, I just built mine over the summer with help from brentucky...you should have seen us two gumbies trying to pull that off. and shortly after putting it up, well you know the rest of the story.
