Training that grip to be a strong man

Training that Grip

You can train your grip 3-4 times a week, using different exercises every day. So I’ll give you list of eight different exercises that you can use to really get your grip up to the point that you’ll never need to use straps again. Grip like that old uncle of yours, you know the one that has hands like shovels and always tries break every bone in your hand when he comes round at Thanksgiving.


Hangs
This is simple, find yourself a chinning bar, and a stop watch, now your going to hang from the bar for 30 seconds. Take a rest and repeat 3 times more. Once you can hang onto the bar for 4 sets of 30 seconds then move to hanging on for 40 seconds and so on until you can manages 60 seconds on all 4 sets. If this sounds too easy then wrap a towel round the bar to make it thicker, now try hanging onto that. You can also add extra weight by using a dipping belt and some dumbbells. If that gets too easy try hanging off the chinning bar by a rope or a towel, that’s going to really fry that forearms. And if all that gets to easy for you Popeye try hanging off with just one arm. So there you have it one exercise with lots of variations so you’ll never get bored.
