Pinch Blocks

Pinch blocks are one of the best tools for developing pinch grip strength, targeting the thumb, fingers, and overall hand control. They provide a versatile and effective challenge, helping to build thumb strength, finger endurance, and overall grip strength.

Selecting the correct width of Pinch Blocks depends on your specific goals and hand size. Generally people with larger hands will struggle on narrower pinch, whilst bigger hands will generally be better with wider pinch blocks.

OUR TOP PICKS

Selecting the best width of Pinch Block really depends on your current goals and preferred style, if you're unsure we always say go in the middle with..

60mm Pinch Block - The go to Pinch Block, a staple amongst various competitions Worldwide and one of the fairest widths, testing both big and small hands.

We saw this Pinch Block feature in at least 1 event over the last 3 years and it will continue to feature in many years to come.

Narrow Pinch Block - As much as it pains me to write this one (I'm terrible at lifting it), the Narrow Pinch Block has had a rise to fame at the beginning of 2025 seeing it become a lot more popular due to its techincal difficulty and enhanced new look / feel.

The Narrow Pinch Block not only tests out fingers and thumbs but wrist too (a lot more so than the other pinch blocks). A great challenging lift we will be seeing a lot more of in the years to come.
