Forearm hand Grip

[tzan]

How well do the little hand grippers work on the forearm? I'm thinking about getting one, so while I'm just lounging around I can get a little pump. Any comments on these??

The ones you order that are for bodybuilders I forget the website you can get them from but they work pretty good.... My guitar buddy used to use one to strengthen his forearms and needed surgery after using one for a year. Too much wear and tear on his forearms.

You will find they work your grip more than your forearm.
try wrist curls or wrist rollers...in combination

you work your forearm muscles like you would anyother muscle.......not laying around pumping for 2 hours 7 days a week. you need structured training program.

Don't get me wrong. I work my forearms on the same day I lift biceps and triceps. I was just wondering if it worked, because when I'm sitting around relaxing at night I could get a little extra burn by using them. I also realize that I can't work them 7 days a week.

sorry i wasnt implying that you were going to do that.......although the lounging around statement made me think other wise.

as a side note.....there are many different types of hand strength, grip, pinching wrist etc etc.

training with a gripper will mostly work the crushing/grip strength.

the grippers at iron mind will not allow you to get a pump

they are for full on grip strength only
