Strength Training Exercises for Grip

One particular set of strength training exercises will really get your grip and  Forearms to work and you will really feel it, i can tell you that through experience. Take a couple of golf balls and put them in your hand with your palm facing upwards, then with all your fingers and thumb start to rotate the balls inside your closed hand

Get used to this for a few days do Sets say 8 to 10 rotations at first and get used to this with both hands then moving on, hold the golf balls in your hand with your palm facing inwards (so your Thumb is on top) and start to Rotate for 8 to 10 Reps first in one hand then the other

Really get used to holding the balls firm so the ribs on the balls offer a little more resistance thus in theory adding “weight” so to speak, you really should feel the tension in your Forearms as you get it working and adding to your Strengh training exercises

Now ! Hold the Balls in one hand and start Rotating the balls with your Palms Facing Down, i can tell you this is a big challenge for most people and something you will have to work at but a very worthwhile addition to your strength training  exercises. Its the sort of exercise you can do while watching tv

Just keep practising with both hands, this not only strengthens your fingers and forearms but starts to give you good co-ordination with both hands as well. As you get used to doing all these positions for 10 plus reps, with both hands (2 sets of 10 plus in all positions per workout).

Then you can find a couple of bigger round Pebbles and start the process over again and so on when they become easy, but always have a place for the golf balls dont stop doing them completely. they are your core method for these strength training exercises for your grip

Why not do this exercise at the end of one of your gym workouts where you have done arms, neck, shoulders and back, you will get that extra burn and really benefit from the extra angles you are hitting your muscles from. of course you can also do them during a dedicated grip work out too
