Actually I did this with my daughter more than two years ago. It was accident, but I noticed instantly how strong that reflex was in her.Today's photo: Fascinating fact (but first promise you’ll never test it with your kid!)

“An infant’s grip is so strong that he can support his own weight… in 1891, one researcher decided to test baby grips by dangling 60 different newborns from a walking stick… most were able to hang on for at least 10 seconds, and one of them lasted two minutes and 35 seconds.”
Yes, I am working on the hanging progressions for a long-time project of mine.

All this talk about the bent press all the time makes me want to try it again some day soon.
Pavel, do you know how long the fixed bells/weights of the old days were?
Bent Press rocks. I have some stuff about bent press in the works.
As for the weights - all kinds, shapes, lengths - there was no standard.
Interesting that there were no standards at all with the weights. As we know, it makes a massive difference. Take the bent press, for example, do it with a dumbbell, kettlebell and then a olympic barbell, all with the same weight. All will feel very different.
