Hand Grippers

[JackTheRipper]

The mark of a man was a strong hand shake back in the day.. iīve never really bothered training grip strength directly rather going on the theory it will all get worked when gripping bars..etc.
Now recently i started using a cheap gripper, itīs not a captain crush or anything wild like that, however i really feel it after a few sets to failure.
Thoughts ??

Ive always loved grip training. I have all the grippers and got up to closing a number 3 CoC. (Captains of Crush). (Just with my right).
Thick bar or thick-bell training as well. I have a "baby Inch" Thomas Inch bell. Took a while but I got it with both hands.

I have a wrist-roller setup (Where it doesnt need to be held up by the person) so it saves delt fatigue to just focus on the grip/roller.
I have some other gadgets as well (Axle bars, pinch grip blocks, rolling-thunder handle, etc).

Lots of fun and a break from normal PL or BB type training...

People with these spring grippers think they are getting stronger but what they don't realize that the spring gets looser over use and gets easier.

Good stuff.

A strong grip is awesome.

I've been working on my pinch grip for awhile and hope to get two 45s soon.

Not really.
When something is enjoyable, its fun time (and not a waste)...
Some of the strongest people in history have brutal grips from training it.
Dinnie stones, Inch-Bell, etc. Most BB's cant get a real Inch-Bell off the ground.

For grip, at the moment all I do are finger-tip push ups.

For pinch-grip I used to hold 20kg plates and then see how long I can hold them.

Also did plate curls, like wrist curls but you hold the plate with outstretched fingers.

But could you grab Bhanky's mammoth 19" neck?

[bhank]

If you have spent any kind of time in the gym lifting weights you should have a strong grip and forearms thinking that using a hand squezzer is going to somehow increase my grip strenght and forearm development at this point is nonsense and hence a waste of time. But yes if you have 12 inch forearms carry on

But could you grab Bhanky's mammoth 19" neck cock?

Fixed, in line with Brian's imagination and magic tape measure.

Only a goat raping asshole would “fix”it to make it about another man’s cock.  You in mass yet?
