:D
you mean olympic weightlifters? since oly lifters use the hook grip almost exclusively

@ pog i have to be feeded
Nice, I'll use this technique to increase my performance 64% too. That way I'll be able to hang for almost 5 seconds

Don't think they can, the games commission requires the carnival challenges be achievable
That's what they do to make it harder. The amusement park that I go to has a bar that is really large diameter, that's why almost no one can win.
@@targeted1948 call a games commision
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.
My parents pointed out the prizes. The bigger/ more expensive the thing, the harder it is to win. I personally love the shoot the star game, it's a lot more skill based than gimmicky.
@@gaskamp2 Depends on how they do it, but it generslly has a gimmick too. Once there is only one corner left, the shots just flap the paper back. They don't have the force to tear it off.
I worked for Butler amusements for years any Carney will sell you ANYTHING on the side for a few dollars cash!?
We were allowed to give 1 away per shift for pretty girls or disgruntled parents
@@thecloneguyz did the girls ever give anything back as thanks?
I worked at an amusement park when i was younger and i had to take care of the ring toss game many times. I worked there 3 months and only had like 4 people win lol. MANY people tossed the whole bucket and that never worked. I would throw them on my down time and i never got it to not bounce off the bottle.
I also won a trick bar and the guy was super shocked. I was a professional trapeze artist at the time, I hung off bars for a living and it was still almost impossible to do the full 60 seconds! Got $50 but it was more rewarding to see the guys face look totally confused how I was still hanging on 😂☠️.
Not sure I'm buying this. The challenge is usually 100 seconds. I did almost 90 seconds at my local fair last year.. first time I ever tried.. and I'm a good 25/30 lbs overweight. I saw many people getting around that number. You're a trapeze artist and it was almost impossible to do 60? Hmm....
@@dudleydooright bar was probably thicker mate
@@dudleydooright You do realize different bars exist right
@@acestral9467 I do.. but my bar was quite thick as well. I remember gripping it and my first thought was how much thicker it was than the one at my local gym. So, nice theory.. but that wasn't it. Even now, I could hang from the thickest bar for 60 seconds with no practice at all. This dude was just making stuff up.

Genuinely I wouldn't be surprised if this video alone has caused the carnivals to start using thicker bars to try and counteract hook grip.

My local fair had a no chalking rule
@@tommyvincent399 Should be alright without chalk. Just rub your hands on your jeans / the floor and actually brushing the bar might help too if they allow that. Alternatively apply a sneaky thin layer of liquid chalk beforehand and hope they don't notice it.

I'll definitely have to utilize these strats next time one of these games is available to me! 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!..
Best vid out there. Thank you so much this is very informative and couldn’t find anything else like it!

Haha this is awesome, I think that very much aligns with my mentality and approach in the gym. Thanks Michael!
I was at Knott's Berry Farm a month ago, I did the challenge and I hung up for a few seconds more than the time limit, which is a minute. I wish I've seen this sooner bc I might have won a bigger and cuter doll. The one I won was small, he's pretty cool. His name is "Gary".

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 lost one of these in Legoland with 20 seconds to spare, I need to book a holiday and try again haha!

This is widely used in olympic weightlifting. You train your thumb and over repeated use, it’ll get used to the initial pain you feel. It takes time, but it does wonders in terms of maintaining grip on the bar.
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.
Hang in there! You will win eventually 😉
I mean at least you tried 💀

I dont get it...
@@hihowareyou6629 hang on, you dont get it?
What makes this a scam? The fact that the bar spins? Seems like a rather straightforward challenge to me.
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.
Alright, now I am gonna hunt those extra bit of cash from carnivals. :)
Been using hook grip on deadlifts for a while. One time I tried to use it at a carnival a few years back but they told me it’s not allowed and is considered cheating. So it’s literally set up to make you lose, at least where I’m from lmao

Ya there's defiantly more to it. I tried to hang from a regular bar thinking heck I did that easy as a kid and I'm stronger now. but I've also gained a lot more weight to hold up.
Bruh i can't even hang for more than 10 seconds

Minute?
I can't do longer than 10 seconds basically
I saw one of these thumbnails and tried with a normal bar and got about the same as he did on his worst try on the rotating bar
Thinking a barbell sleeve could be used as a rotary bar, if it's placed high in the rack with a counter weight. Granted it will be a large diameter bar which will make it much harder... 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.
Me in mens gymnastics be like "I learned that grip many years ago"
You should've showed your friends doing it too so we could've seen the improvement in their performance.
There was a challenge like this when I went to Thorpe Park a few years back, except they changed it to a “Hang for 2 minutes”. I had seen these challenges before and did pull-ups regularly at home so gave it a go.

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.
Whenever you see a scam like this in person they don't allow you to hold on like this. They just want your money period
Some challenges use a bar that's too large diameter to hook grip, that's part of the scam.
@@targeted1948 Yeah I suspected that could be an issue. What is the best way or trick if the bar is too thick? Or is that the point where the challenge really becomes a scam and it's almost impossible?
@@whitestguyuknow Yeah true. The small chance you have is put away a soon as they realise you can make it.
But I really hope I encounter this challenge one day at least just to try once.
The hook grip would work on a skinny diameter bar but not on a large diameter bar.
The juggling avocados while looking at the camera within the first 40 seconds was very impressive.
5 minute video for a 30 second explanation. A well, better than those 10+ minuters
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..

Great tip on the hook grip. Will give it a go next time. Where did you get the bar from looking to buy/make one of my own? Thanks.
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.
