Grip Strength
Grip strength is the force applied by the hand to pull on or suspend from objects and is a specific part of hand strength. Optimum-sized objects permit the hand to wrap around a cylindrical shape with a diameter from to . Stair rails are an example of where shape and diameter are critical for proper grip in case of a fall. Another grip strength that has been studied is the grip used when using a hammer or other hand tools. In applications of grip strength, the wrist must be in a neutral position to avoid developing cumulative trauma disorders. Grip strength is a general term also used to refer to the physical strength of an animal and, for athletes, to the muscular power and force that can be generated with the hands. In athletics, grip strength is critical for rock climbers and is an important factor in Strength athletics, strongman competitions and weight training, weight lifting. Grip strength training is also a major feature in martial arts and can be useful in various profes ...

Grippers
Grippers, sometimes called hand grippers, are primarily used for testing and increasing the strength of the hands; this specific form of grip strength has been called crushing grip, which has been defined as meaning the prime movers are the four fingers, rather than the thumb. There are differences from brand to brand, but the common feature of standard grippers is that they use a torsion spring fitted with two handles. The exact dimensions of these elements vary, as well as the materials used to make them; the springs are made from various types of steel, and the handles are generally made from wood, plastic, steel, or aluminum. History Grippers from the early part of the 20th century to the middle of the 20th century typically had wooden handles, were quite easy for a strong person to close, and were a regularly advertised product in bodybuilding-weightlifting magazines. Such mass market grippers were largely replaced with inexpensive plastic-handled grippers that are c ...

Lifting Stone
Lifting stones are heavy natural stones which people are challenged to lift, proving their strength. They are common throughout Northern Europe, particularly Iceland (where they are referred to as ''steintökin''), Scotland, Ireland, Basque Country (greater region), Basque Country in Spain, northern Spain, Faroe Islands, Wales, north west England centered around Cumbria, Switzerland, southern Germany centered around Bavaria, Austria, Scandinavia, Greece and also in the United States and parts of Asia such as Japan. Recently, lifting stones have been incorporated into the World's Strongest Man and other similar strongman competitions, using various cast, found, or established challenge stones such as the Húsafell Stone, Dinnie Stones, Steinstossen, Inver Stones and Odd Haugen Tombstone. They also do modernized versions of events derived from ancient contests, in which athletes load heavy circular stones onto a platform, known as #Scotland, Atlas stones. Famous lifting stones from ...

Farmer's Walk
Strength athletics is the collection of strength sports which measure physical strength, based on both: non-standard and historical implements as seen in Strongman and Highland games, and standardized and calibrated equipment as seen in Powerlifting and Weightlifting. Some of the disciplines have similarities to each other and although it is very difficult to master more than one, some athletes participate in several of them and perform at world class levels. Weightlifting consists of two main lifts ('' snatch'' and '' clean & jerk'') and powerlifting consists of three main lifts ('' squat, bench'' and ''deadlift'') where all test the maximal strength (one rep max output). Highland games consists of up to about ten different disciplines (including '' stone put, Scottish hammer throw, weight throw, weight over bar, caber toss, keg toss'' and '' sheaf toss'') while strongman span across more than thirty different lifts and events (including ''deadlift, vehicle pull, log lift, ...

Axle
An axle or axletree is a central shaft for a rotation, rotating wheel and axle, wheel or gear. On wheeled vehicles, the axle may be fixed to the wheels, rotating with them, or fixed to the vehicle, with the wheels rotating around the axle. In the former case, bearing (mechanical), bearings or Bushing (bearing), bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported. In the latter case, a bearing or bushing sits inside a central hole in the wheel to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle. Sometimes, especially on bicycles, the latter type of axle is referred to as a ''spindle (tool), spindle''. Terminology On cars and trucks, several senses of the word ''axle'' occur in casual usage, referring to the shaft itself, its housing, or simply any transverse pair of wheels. Strictly speaking, a shaft that rotates with the wheel, being either Bolt (fastener), bolted or rotating spline, splined in fixed relation to it, is called an ''axle'' or ''axle shaft ...

Trunk (botany)
Trunks are the Plant stem, stems of woody plants and the main structural element of trees. The woody part of the trunk consists of dead but structurally significant heartwood and living sapwood, which is used for nutrient storage and transport. Separating the wood from the bark is the Vascular cambium, cambium, from which trunks grow in diameter. Bark is divided between the living inner bark (the phloem), which transports sugars, and the outer bark, which is a dead protective layer. The precise Cell (biology), cellular makeup of these components differs between non-flowering plants (gymnosperms) and flowering plants (Flowering plant, angiosperms). A variety of specialised cells facilitate the storage of carbohydrates, water, minerals, and transport of water, minerals, and hormones around the plant. Growth is achieved by Cell division, division of these cells. Vertical growth is generated from the Meristem, apical meristems (stem tips), and horizontal (radial) growth, from the c ...

Training Sled
A training sled, weight sled, or fitness sled is a piece of exercise equipment that provides resistance as the user pushes, pulls, or otherwise moves the sled along a flat surface. Commercial sleds allow easily adjusting the weight or resistance and are supported on feet or wheels that allow moving the sled across surfaces such as grass, turf, or pavement without damage. Training with sleds has become increasingly popular since 2015, due in part to their availability in Crossfit gyms. Sled pulling and sled pushing are commonly used forms of training for sprinting. Sled push The sled push involves pushing the sled forward while facing the sled. It may be done at a variety of angles, such as upright, slightly bent forward, or with the body low and close to horizontal. Sled pushes are roughly as effective as a barbell back squat for training the quadriceps, hamstrings, and core, with higher calf activity and lower activity in muscles near the spine. The sled push also works the che ...

Yoke
A yoke is a wooden beam used between a pair of oxen or other animals to enable them to pull together on a load when working in pairs, as oxen usually do; some yokes are fitted to individual animals. There are several types of yoke, used in different cultures, and for different types of oxen. A pair of oxen may be called a ''yoke of oxen'', and yoke is also a verb, as in "to ''yoke'' a pair of oxen". Other animals that may be yoked include horses, mules, donkeys, and water buffalo. Etymology The word "yoke" is believed to derive from Proto-Indo-European *yugóm (yoke), from root *''yewg''- (join, unite), and is thus cognate with '' yoga''. This root has descendants in almost all known Indo-European languages including German ''Joch'', Latin ''iugum'', Ancient Greek ζυγόν (''zygon''), Persian یوغ (''yuğ''), Sanskrit युग (''yugá''), Hittite 𒄿𒌑𒃷 (iúkan), Old Church Slavonic иго (''igo''), Lithuanian ''jungas'', Old Irish ''cuing'', and Armenian ...

Strongman (strength Athlete)
Strongman is a competitive strength athletics, strength sport which tests athletes' physical strength and endurance through a variety of heavy lifts and events. Strongman competitions are known for their intensity, pushing athletes to their physical and mental limits. In modern strongman, athletes compete to score points based on their relative position in an event. An athlete who engages in the sport of strongman is also called a 'strongman'. They are often regarded as some of the strongest men of the world. Etymology Many sources state that strongman is a man who performs remarkable feats possessing enormous amounts of strength. In the 19th century, the term 'strongman' was referred to an exhibitor of strength during circus performances. History Modern strongman generally credits its origins to circus strongmen who became popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the first half of the 20th century, strongmen performed various feats of strength such as the bent press (not to b ...

Flywheel Training
Flywheel training is a type of strength training where the resistance required for muscle activation is generated by the inertia of a flywheel instead of gravity from weights as in traditional weight training. In contrast to weight training, flywheel training offers variable resistance throughout the range of motion, which facilitates isoinertial training and eccentric overload. Flywheel training is shown to lead to improvements of strength and power, hypertrophy, muscle activation, muscle length, and tendon stiffness. This in turn can improve athletic performance in speed, jump height, change of direction and resilience to injury. History An early scientific research paper on flywheel training was conducted by researchers Hansen and Lindhard at the University of Copenhagen in 1924 and looked at the maximum realizable work of the elbow flexors. After that, flywheel resistance training was studied in space travelers exposed to microgravity environments to fight the effec ...

Overhead Press
The overhead press, also known as the shoulder press, strict press or military press, is an upper-body weight training exercise in which the trainee presses a weight overhead while seated or standing. It is mainly used to develop the anterior deltoid muscles of the shoulder. The lift is set up by taking either a barbell, a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells, and holding them at shoulder level. The weight is then pressed overhead. While the exercise can be performed standing or seated, standing recruits more muscles as more balancing is required in order to support the lift. Other variations of the exercise include the push press, a similar movement that involves an additional dipping motion in the legs to increase momentum. An overhead press may also be performed unilaterally, with the lift being performed one handed; or in an alternating fashion with both hands holding a dumbbell or kettlebell, and then pressing with one arm and then the other. In strength sports Weightlifti ...
