Work Outs for your Grip part one

It totally amazes me that most peoples work outs dont make any provision for training their grip, it really plays a very important role in your ability to advance massively in your strength training exercises.

Yet if you watch lets say as an example deadlifting, you will see that most people are using straps thus taking the emphasis off their grip ability.

It would be much better to include a lighter deadlift routine as well using your grip to get you through and build on it. We are now going to learn how you can improve your grip to an amazing degree and the only barrier to not doing so will be you not taking action on the information I put to you. Lets get started.

Crushing Grip

The Crush grip is the one you would use while you are giving a handshake to somebody you meet and people are always impressed by a good solid and firm handshake, Always start these exercises by warming your hands, wrists and fingers up. This can be done by immersing your hands in warm water and moving your fingers, hand and wrists about.

Dry them off and if you have a set what I call sports shop grippers, start by doing a controlled set of say 5 to 8 reps with them, nothing explosive just nice and easy after a couple of sets just flick your hands and wrists to loosen them up a bit

To start training further you will need a more harder to close gripper, I use the captains of crush type which I find to be of good quality and gets the job done I do recommend that you start with trainer. When it arrives you will find it a challenge and get you under way with work outs for your grip

You only need to train your grip about twice a week, especially when starting out you need to build up and do the reps and sets just like any other strength building exercises try for 3 sets of 6 to 10 reps to start with with both hands and really work at it. Always makes your work outs progressive and posetive.

There are several different types of crush gripper on the market and it pays to have a selection because they hit your body in slightly different ways thus giving you an all round build up they are, here are 3 of them

1/ Captains of Crush

2/ Extended Handle Gripper

3/ Ivanko Super Gripper
