Grip training

[Sean12]

hey guys just wondering who all does direct grip training? I have been doing it for the past year or so with an Ivanko super gripper and I just recently bought a coc #1 gripper and i love it. Ok well sorry to ramble just wondering who does direct grip work?

I don't do direct grip training, but I pull a lot of stuff and do overhand grip on deadlifts, as well as use one arm while loading weights, that seems to increase my grip strength as well.

I do alot of grip work...although not nearly as much on grippers. All my grip training usually centers around static hold type of stuff.

no direct work here... deadlift, rows, and all the picking up of the weights seems to be all i need.

i play around heavily with gripping. I'm not too great at it but i hope to keep getting better. i can easily close the #2 and can almost close the BBSM. i also bend nails and do sledge hammer levers for wrist strength; plate pinches for pinch strength; and rip phonebooks and card decks for all around hand strength.

Have you checked out http://www.gripboard.com ?

Nothing has increased my grip better than deadlifts esp. with higher reps. And of course no straps.

not me: heavy deads and power shrugs work my grip very well.

Take a towel, sling it over a pull up bar, and hang as long as possible. You can also wear a dip belt and add weight.
