Re: Useful Grip Training Article
Well I was reading on the gripper board how they recommend doing reverse and forward wrist curls and pinch lifts to build a good base before starting hard into the grippers. I have been trying to do these but I can't resist grabbing the grippers at least every 3rd day.
I am seeing improvements already also but I still can't close the #1. Less than 1/8th of an inch with my strong(left) hand but that last part is so hard.
I am also thinking of getting some wire and wire cutters to work that part of the close motion. But have yet to go buy them.
I have managed to strain both of my pinky figures right at the last joint of the pinky. It really freaking hurts so I think I will lay off the grippers till they feel normal again.
I keep the grippers at work and several of my friends have tried them. Only one guy has closed the #1 and he proceeded to close the #2 also. He could not even come close on the #3 though. He was disappointed till I told him how hard it is and how few people can do it. He is a longtime lifter at my gym plus he works everyday with wrenches.
Good fun so far, sorry for the ramble but it is late and I'm tired.
