Many of the library ergonomics guides tell you to avoid the pinch grip. But some people actually go out of their way to strengthen it! And consider it a distinctive feat of weight-lifting!
So should you use it or avoid it?
All the sources on the web have the exact same exercise for strengthening your pinch grip. Basically, get two of the plate-shaped weights, hold them together smooth sides out in a pinch grip by the rim, and hold for however many seconds.
I guess you could do this with books, but seriously, at the end of the day, I've had about all I can take of lifting books. And I would think that would just be adding to any repetitive stress injury potential you might have.
Have any of you out there tried to strengthen your pinch grip for shelving?
