Just buy lifting straps London Geezer...they cost about £4. Maximuscle do them. Then you can keep lifting even when your grip gives way...
I used to use them, but then decided to improve my grip/forearm size so dont use them anymore.

is there another way to improve grip and forearm size? im trying to improve it by using those hand grip thingy majiggy's lol.. its like it fits in ur hand and has a large tight spring on 1 side and wen u clench ur hand and make a fist the spring is pushed together and then releasing it as u release the grip.. u get them in light, moderate and hard.

You can get proper grippers mate equivalent to like 180lbs worth of weight and upwards or you can do wrist curls and reverse curls, fo sho!

Try towel pull ups and plate pinching for grip too!

One thing that I've found that works great for me is taking some heavy weight, either BB or DB's, picking it up, and holding it at arm's length as long as you can ...

It's worked wonders for my grip.

I am Petay Pan muthafu2ker HEEHEE.......Chumon...

Agreed gloves are a pointless article, I started using them when I started training cause they were cool !

I use chalk sometimes...

DB · 29-06-2006, 10:12 AM

where do u get chalk from i would like some of that!

DB · 29-06-2006, 10:17 AM

i dont like rough hands and i sand my calloses(sp) down with a pumice stone a couple of times a week but i find grabing the bar really hard with gloves...

RAIKEY · 29-06-2006, 10:32 AM

i wear pink rubber gloves ,....when the wife forces me to do the washing up.

Magic Torch · 29-06-2006, 10:38 AM

Its not that I like the rough hands you get, it just feels better when lifting without.

Also I used to rip mine and they never lasted. I had a Harbinger pair last time, supposed to be tough ones, paid £30 for 'em and they ripped in 2 months

Baz I just use normal white chalk that kids use to draw with, and crush it then leave a bag of it in my gym bag.

Ironball · 29-06-2006, 03:27 PM

I like to wear gloves. Preferably black PVC with studs and a matching dogcollar.
