The Suitcase Deadlift Using Neurogrips and Directional Force: Ulnar Deviation

The Suitcase Deadlift Using Neurogrips and The Nabard Device

 
 The Nabard Long Device used in this example is a device similar to a barbell.  However, the 1 inch diameter handle is offset rather than centralized.   The Neurogrips easily slide on your hand, adding 1" diameter to the Nabard Device handle, making it about 2" in diameter.  Combined with the offset handle, the Neurogrips challenge your grip and help strengthen your hand, wrist, forearm as well as your shoulder and trunk musculature. 

 The setup for this technique is the same as the previous post.  You stand with your foot next to the handle of the device.  This time, however, the long end of the device is behind you instead of in front of you.
 
 Squat back and down and grip the handle tightly using the Neurogrips. 
 
 
"Spread the floor" with your feet and stand up tall.  Do not allow the back end of the device to dip down.  Your job is to keep the device parallel to the ground.  The long lever posterior is providing a directional force downward, which places radial deviation on your wrist.  To maintain the neutral wrist position, you must fire your ulnar deviators.  So you are gripping the handle while at the same time performing ulnar deviation in order to maintain neutral wrist position and keep control of the device.  This is the opposite action of the previous post.
