NOTES:
-Well, there you have it. I decided to do something about my grip training. I figured
the Holle Dumbbell was the best way to go. Not that kettlebells don't have their charm, but they have their limits when you can't juggle them around or have them slipping out of your hand. This dumbbell will allow me to build a solid grip without the risk of seriously damaging my terrace. A plus is to be able to build up to lifting the Inch Challenge Dumbell
-The off center handle is a real treat. The dumbbell seems to be the hardest to hold on to when the 'inner tube' is on 1 line with your thumb. So not up or down, but 90° to either side.
