Good grip
-
Sunday, May 11, 2008 5:52 PM
I saw my uncle this weekend and taunted me. He basically said i had a good physique but it was useless if i had no strength ( he was talking about my grip). He basically wants me to be able to hurt his hand on a handshake in about 3 months lol...
Any ideas on how to increase grip strength? other than captains of crush.
P.S: I was wondering, does ''grip'' have to do with forearms, or is it unknown hand muscles? thx

Because, forearms are the muscle which give you grip. Therefore if your holding heavy ass weight, their stimulated.
Then just go too that erxx.net or what ever it is and look at forearm exercises...
Hammers help to..

When you do pullups or some other exercise thats not too heavy, don't wrap your thumb around the bar. Use your discretion though, it could technically be dangerous.
But you'll definitely get a good burn on the forearms without that added help of your thumb. Plus with something like pullups you don't really notice because you're so focused on your back and bis. But you notice afterwards*

you should use your thumb if you are trying to stimulate your forearms, hence why reverse curls and press downs work the forearms so well...

Ive heard open fingered push ups,definatley farmer walks and the sledge hammer where you walk your fingers down it. Also heavy gripers that are adjustable

All the basic compound moves at heavy weights build your strength. Any one of them that involves holding heavy weights in your hands works your grip. Deadlifts and farmer's walks are probably the best grip-strengtheners because these are the ones that allow you to hold the heaviest weights.
