weak grip

[WarriorPL]

I've noticed from doing deadlifts and heavy shrugs that my grip is too weak. What are some things i can do that will help?

Try farmers walk. That's what I do and it helps alot.

Behind the back wrist curls have improved my grip quite a bit. I also concentrate on squezing the bar on all my other exercises.

i agree with ingram, squeeze the bar tight on all other exercises, you'll see improvements.

do u wear gloves when u workout?

Lighter weight deads for high reps has made nioticable difference in my grip strength. (anywhere from 3x3, 5x3, to 5x5 at 70% 10 80% of max.)

The other guys also suggested some things that I have tried as well that have me too.

Heavey DB Hangs - start with a weight you hold for 45 secs before they drop, then move to holding that weight for 30 secs, then a again until failure.

I did that at the end of back/bi worout, and after a month or 2, I have not had a problem with grip for specifically deadlifts.

Try several ideas, see which one gives you the results you are looking for. Mifght take several tries, but you find the right one.


Good luck bro,

Power rack chins

true a killer on the grip, but those arnt that easy. one may have to build up to that. maybe try JOKER's method and the go for CCJ's as a test.
