I'm going to be doing this exercise in my routine, just wondering if anyone has done this exercise before? Since its not in the exercise section.
Crook Tugs
Close all four of your fingers and outstretch your thumb. It looks like the loser sign
With the palm of your left hand facing downwards and you thumb pointing right; you should notice an ‘L’ shape created by your thumb and index finger. It is the “crook” or curve between them that will be used to provide the pivot to tug on.
The next two moves should be carried out simultaneously.
Hold this for 5 sec, keeping the opposing forces ‘taught’ throughout.
That constitutes one rep.
That may sound rather complex, but its actually pretty simple once you try it.
To isolate the different sections of the shaft for stretching, all you have to do is change the place you grip with your left hand. For the first crook tug, have your left hand grip at the very base, for the next, simply move it up, closer to the middle ect.

- Grip you shaft just below the head using your right hand’s index finger and thumb. Hold it tighly enough to avoid it slipping off later on.
- Stretch the shaft outwards parallel to the ground.
- While maintaining this stretch, use the left hand ‘crook’ of the L shape to grip the base of the shaft. Squeeze your thumb up towards your index finger to create a suitable pinch hold.
The next two moves should be carried out simultaneously.
- · Bench the top half of the shaft up and over the Crook, so it faces your stomach.
- · Gently push downwards, so your left hand is moving in the opposite direction to the tug of your right.
Hold this for 5 sec, keeping the opposing forces ‘taught’ throughout.
