Pinch for me really seems like something that I have to really warm-up for. It's invariably better done at the end of my workout when I'm thinking that my hands are already fatigued. One thing I notice that hurts me on some pinch is if the implement has slipped a couple of times in my grip my fingertips wear down like glass and will not hold chalk.

Biceps feel a bit tweaky after those couple of set attempts again. I think I'll watch Paul Knights set video again to see if I can glean some more pointers out of it.
