Well done Boris!
Besides grip strength (which is HUGELY important, don't get me wrong) what are the benefits of this exercise?

Besides grip strength, I don't think there's a lot of benefit to doing this Pete. It's just for fun. I saw Adam Glass (who I "met" online through kettlebells) doing it years ago, thought it looked like a fun challenge and ended up buying the vertical bar.

Great challenge though And grip strength is oft underestimated in understanding 'strength'. Far from a frivolous exercise Whilst having huge biceps/triceps etc.. may be aesthetically pleasing (to some) being able to apply their strength through your hands is pretty important. Poor grip strength can be like having 500bhp in the car but only bicycle tyres to put the power down.

I agree Pete - if your hands or feet or neck are a mess, it can flub up most other things. I wrote something about "extremity training" once, I think - I'll look around.
