pinch gripping

[tiger88]

are any of you bro grip nuts? i love to work my grip but i am getting my assed kicked trying to get 2 45 lbs plates, pinched up.... i cant do anything until my injury heels but how can i improve my pinch gripping? i can get and hold 2 35s for a few seconds but no where near the 45lbs plates


or is not ment to be with the 45lbs?






9 months until i get the #3 mashed well i hope so

I can do the 35's pretty easily but can't budge 45's. I think that rbrown can though...

Just add in pinch gripping a few times a week. Use 25's, 35's, etc... Make some 2x4's that you can put a bolt through and hang weights from to pinch grip. Train your grip from all angles, be creative, it will improve.

I chalk all the time

2 45's is a hell of a grip acheivement. Stay dedicated and it will come.

What are you doing to get there now?

Unfortunately I cannot get 2 45s off of the ground; although I hope to one day. Lately, I've been focusing more on supporting grip and crushing grip.

Tiger88--keep at it. Building pinch grip or any kind of grip requires a lot of time. 35s are good. 45s are world class. I know of very few that can do it so I wouldn't be that discouraged if it doesn't come quick. I think you have to be able to dominate the 35s like they are a joke before you can get the 45s. The fact that you have lifted the 35s is evidence that you can probaby get the 45s if you want them bad enough.

Is pinch gripping useful in powerlifting?

I intend to start doing heavy static holds to help my deadlift. Is there any other form of grip strength I should be doing?

 

[Debaser]

I'm not sure about powerlifting, but wouldn't it be really helpful in football slobber? Trying to hold onto a guy would require this kind of grip strength.
