Hand Grippers

[ProudVirgin69]

well Grip is the weak link on Deads & Chins, Rows  so yeah i think thereīs a purpose in hand strength

there are many facets of hand strength, hand grippers are but one.

If you want to improve your grip strength on barbell exercises why would you train w hand grippers?  Totally different movements and muscles involved.

I have done a 1K deadlift lockout without straps and guys say I have one hell of a grip. Never missed a deadlift due to grip ever. But I can barely close a #2 CoC and no way could I EVER close a #3. It must have a lot to do with how your hand is built genetically.

you likely could if you trained for it, but who gives a shit if you can close the COC grippers.  That's about as niche a feat of strength as there is, and as you mention your grip is strong enough as is.

as i wrote i had an injury where it did affect my fingers & grip.  If people have strong grip & donīt need "pussy" straps then OK good for them but most people fail on their grip. Straps have their use but i think training your hands is good too. The hand is quite complicated.
End of the day iīm enjoying it so i will continue.

If you want to improve your grip strength when it comes to holding a barbell or dumbbell, it seems like you'd have more success if you trained your hand while holding a barbell or dumbbell.  Static holds, fat grip work, farmers walks, etc

Training hand grippers seems to only make you stronger at closing hand grippers, that's been my experience.  sorry to hear about your hand.

not saying you are wrong.. i suppose itīs an individual thing.
I will get the 100LB captain of crush gripper. solid made & last a lifetime. Just using a cheap one at the moment. might look at pinch gripping plates too.
