I think that article is interesting But.. only 1/4 the grip strength in 35 years? that just doesn't seem right I don't believe a non cracker has a grip 4x stronger than mine vegimite jars stay closed in America anyway, if you can even find one Hey what else goes on a Vegimite sandwich , other than vegimite, any one know? Back to top Blaze Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 8:26 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Isn't ABC American.... so wouldn't he have been heard in America? I haven't read it yet but the grip thing wouldn't surprise me as you lose grip strength pretty quickly. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 2:09 pm    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 297 Location: Cali a difference in grip sure 4x times though no way sorry Back to top Woodoo Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 11:10 pm    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Sep 23, 2007 Posts: 17 MasterCracker wrote: Hey what else goes on a Vegemite sandwich , other than vegemite, any one know? Just margarine usually. Sometimes cheese. Anyhow, if cracking really does have such an effect on grip strength, you have to wonder what would happen to the spine. I mean, you don't exactly grip things with your back. Also ABC = Australian Broadcasting Corporation Back to top bod8 Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:45 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly Isn't there an American version aswell? Probably American Broadcasting Corporation lol Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 8:59 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 297 Location: Cali Wow woodoo whens the last time you had one of those sandwiches ? Be honest. If I was going to have one w margarine , what brand of vegimite would you recommend? As for spinal strength and cracking. I crack my spine daily , multiple times a day by stretching and working out I am hella flexible and believe my spine is strong and healthy because of that ever get inverted? headstands, handstands, etc it can let the spine relax, and change gravity/pressure on the spine feels great , sometimes cracks. Back to top Woodoo Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 3:16 pm    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Sep 23, 2007 Posts: 17 Personally I don't like vegemite on sandwiches, probably ate too many of them as a kid. I do like it on toast or saladas though. I think the problem is that when people try it for the first time, they spread it like jam or peanut butter. Vegemite that thick tends to be rather unpleasant. It should look something like this; http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/2/29/250px-Vegemiteontoast_large.jpg No doubt an acquired taste. As for knuckle cracking, I would think that grip strength is a function of the health of the ligaments, as well as muscle strength. Maybe the repetitive stretching beyond the passive range of motion eventually causes the ligaments to become more lax, resulting in the reduced grip strength I haven't cracked my back by handstanding, but sometimes by rolling on my spine, or even just lying on a flat hard surface, it will crack. Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 5:12 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 297 Location: Cali So i've been thinking, maybe I Can understand how some grip strength would be lost by a cracker who did not work out or was not very physically active. although 4x is hard to swallow. But it's more been my experience, that if you do workout and stretch(yoga) that not only do ligaments/muscle become more flexible, they become Stronger with greater ROM and with less chance of injuries like sprain, strains, or tears. Woodoo thanks for the pic, now i know how to make a traditional vegemite sandwich. would you recommend the kraft brand? acquired taste for sure. It's been years, decades maybe.

You either love it or hate it, which I do.

Vegemite now belongs to Kraft, all the other brands are copies. I wouldn't be surprised if the taste a little different. The most important thing is that you can get the jar open...

Back to top jpad Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:04 pm    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Oct 30, 2007 Posts: 126 I personally haven't noticed any reduction in my grip strength. If am I less strong it isn't by much. I'm not a total couch potato, but I don't exercise as regularly as I'd like to either.
