Re: Hand Grip Training

Hi Billy

If you train naturally, I would suggest only training your grip once per week.

Having said that you want to know how to best train your grip... While I was training grip strength (don't at the moment - too many other bits to do), I did 3 sets of 8 crushes per hand per orientation (normaly or upside down). the trick (as always) is to put as much intensity into it as possible.

The other nice way to train grip strength is with a powerball.

Or - just pick up heavy dumbells and hold them for 2 mins static.

Re: Hand Grip Training

Grippers are best used as a grip and hold exercise. Do 30 second holds and repeat until you cant hold for more than 20.

Re: Hand Grip Training

I am thinking about this too, I'm currently doing push/pull workout splits and after 2 sets of chins and 4 sets of deadlifts my grips starts to fial which is really annoying if I want to do rows etc.

Static holds would be good IMO.

Re: Hand Grip Training

Hand grippers....Heavy grips or Caption of Crush....

Static holds

Thick bar lifting

Chins with towel wrapped around bar

Very heavy single hand lifts (suitcase lift, bar deadlifts etc)

Tons of ways to train grip just make sure to treat it like any other bodypart as 9 times out of 10 thats why people fail to lift what they should as grip is weak link...

Re: Hand Grip Training

Farmers walk is another good one, it trains your whole body too!

Just grab a big dumbell in each hand, and go walkies you could also do them as walking lunges.
