I've found that a hidden feature of #startinglength is how the workouts have blown up my forearms.

Forearm or forearms? Or do you change hands periodically so it feels like a different person working on the length? Or can you only use the mouse with one hand?

If you're not switching hands, YNDTFP.

Exactly. It's in the book.

I've gotten more mileage out of pinch block lifts and hub lifts, than grippers. Also, doing extensor work like finger extension lifts has really helped with muscle imbalance between flexors and extensors.

Yeah, I wouldn't do Grippers alone under just about any circumstances.

Helped how? How did this imbalance manifest itself? What negative symptoms did you experience as a result of only doing grip work without equally strengthening the extensor muscles? I've heard about how it's important to do both but I've never seen a concrete description of what this "imbalance" actually looks like.

So I take it you don't put a lot of stock in the "must train the extensors" theory?

I do not.
