Norden Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I'm using the 77 mm Ironmind Blockbuster pinchblock for pinching in order to get bigger thumb pads, just to help my gripper-training. However, will this do the job or will I need to get a telegraph key to see a notable difference in size of my thumb pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Buy a 2" pony clamp and a bag of rubberbands. Do negatives and add a rubberband or two everyday. Carry it around with you and shoot for a minimum of 20 good negs per day and your thumbpad with blow up in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 close it with two, try to keep it shut with one, and fight it all the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think I'll keep using the pinchblock cause I like that exercise, I'm just wondering if my thumbpads will get any bigger by doing that.

I would guess that the block would be MUCH less effective because it's not dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
