Classic Responses About Grip Training
I like to attend as many area high school baseball games as I can each year, and I like talking with the players about their training. Unfortunately, when I ask them what they are doing for their grip routines, here are the classic responses I get:
"What's grip training?"
I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard this one. Grip training involves work for anything from the elbow down to the finger and thumb tips. All of this musculature works together to stabilize the elbow, flex the forearm, grip the bat, throw a pitch, and to resist injury from traumatic plays on the field like a close play at the plate, diving for a fly ball in foul territory, or laying out for liner in the infield.
"I mainly just work my core for baseball."
While core training is also very important for baseball, grip still needs to be worked. Grip training involves everything from the elbow down. The muscles from the elbows down are used for many different aspects of baseball, including throwing, catching, and hitting. Also, strengthening the aspects of grip can help prevent injuries during the collision forces of baseball, such as diving for a line drive, sliding head first into a base, or a catcher getting run into by a runner at the plate.
"Grip Training Equipment is too expensive."
While you may be on a budget, that is no reason NOT to train your grip. Yes, specialized Grip Training equipment can be pricey, but there is absolutely no reason to base a grip training program for the sport of baseball around specialized equipment, when you can make your own Grip Training gear yourself or repurpose tools you already have. For instance, you can hit a sledge hammer against an old tire in order to strengthen the grip as well as the arms and shoulder. You can use a carpenter's clamp to strengthen the thumb and the fingers. You can find rocks and stones in the woods or in a stream and use them to pinch and toss from hand to hand, strengthening all of the musculature from the elbow to the fingers. The truth is, some of the best Grip Development can become from using simple objects you already have in your garage or tool box, or even out in nature.
Hopefully, this short article has helped change your viewpoint about Grip Training. Training the lower arms and hands for strength is an important part of a strength training program and all baseball players should approach it seriously.

In a Samsung Timesaver 1000W microwave, can the plastic centrepiece that pushes the plate around be pulled out?
In a Samsung Timesaver 1000W microwave, can the plastic centrepiece that pushes the plate around be pulled out to be replaced? I have tried placing a flat knife under the wings and levy it. That just succeeded in breaking the wing off. The whole thing needs to come off to be replaced but I am hesitant in getting pliers or grips & really giving it a good pull. It needs replacing.
get a new microwave look what this guy had to say:
Bought myself a Samsung TimeSaver 1000W Microwave, model MS123SCE
When I got it home and tried it, to my astonishment the microwave
turned ON when opening the door a certain way!
After a few tries it became clear that if the bottom safety catch on
the door is disengaged (when opening the door) before the top safety
catch, the microwave turnes on. Once the top safety catch operates,
the microwave turns off.
So if you pull on the door handle fast enough or on the upper half of
the handle, you wouldn't suspect a problem. But if you pull on the
lower half of the handle slowly, you can make the microwave switch on
and stay on. Even if the microwave is in it's supposed off mode.
Absolutely incredible. I can't see how it can be a fault with my unit,
as there should be no way a microwave can switch on by simply opening
the door. It must be a design fault.
Needless to say it's going back for a refund, and I'll try another one
in store to see if it has the same problem. Not that I'd get the same
model again.
I have informed Samsung via the website, but I don't really expect a
reply. Anyone got any better contacts at Samsung Aust that I can
report this to?
Be warned, don't touch this model!
