forearm grippers can i use them everyday

[svtmassa]

hey guys, just wondering ...... I am lagging a little in terms of forearm development so I went and bought two of those things you squezze to help your wrist, grip, and forearms. My question is can I do them everytime i get a chance or will I overwork myself. Is it possible to overtrain with the grippers?

Yes you can overtrain on grippers. If they are store bought grippers that you can bang out rep after rep, don't worry about overtraining. If your hands ache and hurt the next morning you wake up, take it easy and turn the volume down.

thanks, I can rep them out pretty good, they are stiore bought. where can you get more powerful ones?

What would happen from doing too much grip work isn't "overtraining", but that's another issue. Like oso said, trying to do it everyday would likely be counterproductive.

Take a look at the sticky for a post that should cover everything you need to know about grip work. The most important thing, IMO, is that you treat grip training like you would a workout. Do it regularly (once or twice a week) and have a plan for progression (the Ivanko gripper is a good choice for this).
