Gotcha. What are Rack Pulls? How tall are you?

Rack pulls or rack deadlifts are a shortened range of motion on the pull. Here's a vid of me doing them I have straps on in this vid just do to the weight being lifted:



I'm ~6'2".

well you're in a whole other league than i am as far as lifting goes

but some good grip exercises would definitely be farmers walks, static holds (like scotsman did), double overhand deads, heavy rows, weighted dead hangs (bottom portion of a pullup), pinching plates.

damn bro sounds like you already have some strong ass forearms, wrist curls with 135 for 3 sets of 8 is sick especially after all that static grip stuff!

It wouldnt directly make your double overhand grip strength much stronger but if you learned the hook grip you could use it on whatever exercises your finding hard and it will give you a grip just as strong as a mixed grip, its a little painful at first but after a while you get used to it. I use it for my deads now all the time, SouthernLord taught me it and Im so glad

The exercises jdid mensioned are good too, and you might consider some more fun stuff like towel pullups, one arm deadlifts, high rep double overhand shrugs, kroc rows and buying a pair of fat gripz.

When I really pushed my numbers on kroc rows my grip strength greatly improved and so did my deadlift lockout, be careful though I injured my self on them.

Thank you gentlemen for the wide variety of exercises to choose from. I'll have to look some of these thing up as I have never heard of Farmer's Walk, Plate Pinces, and Krok Rows among many other exercises you all mentioned. Heavy Bent Over rows a la Dorain Yates (Ronnie Coleman does them this way as well) have really help my grip as well and thanks to the stronger grip my other lifts have gone up as well. Stregthen the stabelizers and you'll put up bigger numbers right?
EM you little devil! You are becoming quite the lil' exercise rescource manual! Kudos to you lil homie for learning so much and so quickly.

No problem anytime I can help just ask. That 4" is great for the big three but will kill you on lifting stones to a high platform.lol

Lol thanks dude, I can explain most of them here:
A kroc row is basically a high rep one arm dumbell row with as much weight as you can, using some body english to get the weight up, so by cheating a bit you can use maximum poundages and go in the 15-30 sort of rep range. They really put you on your ass, they nail you across the board - abs, forearms, bi's, lats, traps, spinal erectors, shoulders, obliques.

Farmers Walk is simple, you already do it pretty much, you just grab some heavy ass dumbells and walks laps up and down the gym

Plate Pinch is a little hard to explain so Ill show you a video:


scotsman damn they are some strong ass rackpulls!

There are at least 3 guys in my training group that can do what you saw in that video, one handed.

Hell no!

I can pinch it and break the ground, but then I lose it.

2 hands isn't much of a problem.

Thanks for the explinations. I guess I do Kroc Rows already at the end of my back workout.
I can hold the 2 plate piches on my own as I am a bit lazy when it comes to mounting and dismounting high numbers of plates on and off the bar (especially leg presses).

Wouldn't want to shake hands with those 3 individuals BB haha.
