I’m trying to improve my grip strength and these pinch blocks will definitely help. Years ago I watched in awe as an old time weightlifter casually pinched two 25lb. plates together and held them for over a minute. Of course they don’t make plates the way they used to, but these pinch blocks are the closest things to the old pinch plate exercise. I may never reach that feat but I’m going to try. You can use these pinch blocks as described by Rogue or you can use a strap to attach to the pinch block and add plates. You can also use the Rogue Straps that come with the pinch blocks and wrap them around a dumbbell. I’m so glad I picked them up.

We purchased all three sizes to incorporate grip training for our clients routines and these have been a great addition to our fitness center! We use these with the Loading Pin for Pinch Block Deadlifts, Pull-Ups, and with our cable machine for Pulldowns/Rows. The coating is the typical Rogue powder coat and must use chalk once you get to heavier weights. Great construction and will last a lifetime thanks again for a solid product Rogue!

I love the feel of this block, it makes it great for training.
