    When I took my kids to a carnival recently, I explained how the scams worked and which ones looked like they'd win that they probably wouldn't. If they still wanted to play for fun, that's fine. I showed them how many rings were being thrown at the bottles. It wa buckets of rings. Literally someone tossed their whole bucket at once. But nobody was winning. The carnival people finally cheated to help someone win because they felt bad about how much money she spent on the game. We saw one or two people win for real, which shows the very low, but not impossible odds. My daughter played once and had fun but was not too surprised or disappointed she lost. We played other games with higher odds and she got some good prizes.
    When it was clear we knew how all the games worked, the carnival people got a lot more frank and honest about it.

The counterbalancing from gripping your thumb is seriously genius, and I like the idea of moving the weight from forearm to bicep too as it could almost reset the pain a bit, or at least recenter it so your forearms get a rest! I always knew there had to be some hidden strats to this game, and now I have been enlightened, so I thank you friend!..

    It's not merely that the thumb counteracts the rotation of the bar, but also the thumb removes some of the stress on the fingers supporting body weight. It is just like when we use wrist straps to remove some of the weight of a bar when doing deadlifts, or shrug exercises in the gym with free weights. It's still the same weight, but pinning the thumb under the fingers has the effect of transferring the load from just the fingers to both the fingers and the wrists, by way of the trapped thumb. The result is that there is less load on the fingers and forearms. THIS is the reason for the dramatic increase in hang time. If it were just down to the rotation of the bar being reduced, people would not even be able to hold on for a few seconds.
    The rotation of the bar is not actually an aggravating deterrent to accomplishing the task, since it is not moving, once you have settled into your grip. That is in our heads. Its because we are all quite heavy for our hand and forearm muscles to contend. Think about it: an olympic bar is not fixed when we do exercises such as bench, military press, dead lifts, squats, etc. In the case of military and bench press, the proper grip is thumbs under (with our fingers). The thumbs are not locking the bar into our grip, and yet, we are able to manoeuvre more than our body weight without the bar rolling away from us.

      I use it for powerlifting and have deadlifted 275kg x1 and 250 x 4 with it. You really do get used to the pain, it just becomes normal, getting your thumb further under the bar and not jamming it up against the side of the bar also helps with pain.

    • @SeedlingNL
      @SeedlingNL Рік тому

      It's more of a trick then a scam. As the bar rotates, the weight is moving more and more to your finger tips, so you want to compensate by rotating your wrists.. but the rolling bar prevents that. Unless you regularly hang from crevaces on the side of a mountain with one hand, you are not going to be able to hang on for long.
      Using your thumb as a gripping point on the other side keeps the bar from rotating, but even then you need to have trained for it.

But apparently there's good cross over to a smaller diameter bar when Training with large. Also the width of grip is limited. Could be interesting.

    There is also a secret 4th factor - training fitness stuff your whole adult life can be helpful too. Oh and 5h factor - not being overweight at all also might help.

      Muscle weighs significantly more than fat, which pretty directly means that you're more likely to be "overweight" and fit, rather than "overweight" and fat.

    Never tried it but when I saw these challenges coming up my first thought after hearing mixed grip was illegal was the hook grip. Doing some weight lifting using mixed or hook grip where both defeats the roll of the bar on your hands. Great to see that it works.

    Having had some olympic weightlifting experience I used hook grip.. but my thumbs were in so much pain from my +200lbs body after 30s that I had to try and change to regular over hand and slipped off shortly after. It could maybe work with some more practice or losing some weight..

    Another tip - if your feet are touching the ground, it is much easier!. I improved from 47 seconds to 83 via this method, before I was distracted by someone walking past with a Snickers bar.
