Gripping Jars

[IronFist]

Good question. Let me look into that. I can't remember where I originally heard that.

Oh, what's the purpose of training on jars? It will only make you stronger in that position +- 15 degrees. You won't really strengthen your full range grip by only gripping something in a static position.

We actually have an entire chain form exercise for tiger claw training with jars, weights, pilattes balls or whatever you're using. You don't just get in a stance and extend your arms. That's no good. It's not just for grip either. Your whole upper body is going to burn by the 3rd time you do the set. It's really just a variation of Muscle Tendon Change exercises done in a chain set.

Samurai jack that was a good question, as it goes against my experience also.

I've heard that it's 60% as well, but far less frequently, and by people I would probably consider less knowledgeable.

Assuming you're talking to Killingthetiger, I agree.
