[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]1[/nx_dropcap] Your Individual Goals
First of all, ask yourself, what is your goal? You should have a reason why you train with specific exercises.

Take a moment, think about it & ask yourself what you like to achieve.

Set a baseline & think about which one you would like to become – Recreational or Professional – Why?

[/nx_column] [nx_column size=”1/3″]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]2[/nx_dropcap] Long-term goals
For example, picture yourself & your progress in 1 week, in 1 month, & in 1 year from here. 5 years from here, 10?

It gives you a general direction & much better sense of the path that you’re going to choose for yourself.

Once you do that, everything will become much easier & more coordinated – You’ll know exactly what you want, and you’re ready to pick up the right tools & exercises to get what you’re after.

[/nx_column] [nx_column size=”1/3″]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]3[/nx_dropcap] Your area of expertise
It’s also great if you think about your background – The respective sport you come from & that you’re currently interested in. Let’s leverage it!

It’s also okay if you currently don’t have one; you can simply pick up grip training itself. It’s for the best if your grip training revolves precisely around your current abilities & goals – It helps you to focus on building your grip strength towards it & directly benefits your chosen area of expertise.

Whether it is heavier deadlifts you’re after, hand health, a stronger handshake, open hand strength, increased size of forearms, endurance, muscle balance, OR boosting your overall strength.

Five Major Hand-Specific Movements

[nx_spacer size=”30″]

[nx_tabs][nx_tab title=”Types of Grip:”]

[nx_divider top=”no”]

 There are five major hand-specific movements you can focus on
Crushing, Pinching, Supporting, Extending, Twisting

[/nx_tab] [nx_tab title=”#1 Crush Grip”]

[nx_divider top=”no”]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]1[/nx_dropcap] Crush Grip can be defined as the action of closing the fingers against a resistance. This is the place where usually grip training for beginners starts – It covers the most fundamental aspects of hand strength.

Whether it’s a stronger handshake you’re looking for, or better endurance & ability to lift bigger weights, training with hand grippers is the fastest route to improve your crushing grip.

Very similar in nature but often forgotten are clamping, as wrapping the fingers around an object & squeezing it toward the palm, & crimping, which is directing force with the fingers toward the callous line.

Working your crushing grip is also one of the primary grip movements that improve your overall forearm resilience & is important in any contact sport.

Benefit from it to build an even more competitive edge for your grip, or simply crush a can of soda for fun.

[/nx_tab] [nx_tab title=”#2 Pinch Grip”]

[nx_divider top=”no”]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]2[/nx_dropcap] Pinch Grip is the ability to hold something between the thumb & fingers. Your thumb applies an inward force to an object, which is counter-balanced by one or more fingers by applying a force back towards the thumb.

Pinching can also be the action of holding onto an object in a static manner while squeezing it with just your fingertips & not letting it drop.

Therefore pinch grip can also be defined as the act of pinching something together with just using your fingertips.

[/nx_tab] [nx_tab title=”#3 Support Grip”]

[nx_divider top=”no”]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]3[/nx_dropcap] Support Grip is the most common type of grip strength, also called isometric grip OR static grip. Supporting grip is your forearms, hands & fingers’ ability to maintain a static hold on an object of your choice.

It is used when holding onto something such as a hammer, a rock, a suitcase, a baseball bat, or a shopping bag… You name it!

..& of course, free weights. In other words, your supporting grip is also an almost inseparable part of your everyday tasks. Developing & improving supporting grip strength enables you to maintain a static hold, which in turn greatly supports your ability to lift heavier weights for longer periods of time.

The supporting grip entails lifting objects with the fingers taking the brunt of a load in an isometric fashion. It applies to deadlifts, rows, pull-ups & kettlebell work.

It should also be noted that a true supporting grip entails your fingers wrapping well around the bar. It’s referred to as open hand supporting if the handle or bar is large enough that there is a space between the fingers & thumb.

[/nx_tab] [nx_tab title=”#4 Extend Grip”]

[nx_divider top=”no”]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]4[/nx_dropcap] Extend Grip is mainly about working on your extensor muscles to achieve muscle balance. It’s tremendously important to work on extensors if you don’t want to break your hands & have healthy hands instead.

Complex extensor movements, in your wrists & fingers, adjust your grip position, move in opposite directions, & provide you with muscle balance

[/nx_tab] [nx_tab title=”#5 Twist Grip”]

[nx_divider top=”no”]

[nx_dropcap style=”flat”]5[/nx_dropcap] Twist Grip is about using your wrists. It is one of the most fun & brutal ways to train your forearms. All kinds of writ-rollers
Come to our aid that tune up forearms in size & strength. Strengthening tendons & overall muscle tone.

Having stronger wrists is beneficial to give your forearms more overall stability while gripping weights or objects. Having stronger wrists also greatly benefits opening pickle jars in the kitchen & bending various stuff between your two hands.

A lot of beginners are very attracted to all sorts of fancy tricks & feats of strength. You don’t need anything too shiny or expensive fresh out of the gate; some of the stuff can be flat-out dangerous for you. What you could use is very basic.

However, at the same time, it’s great if you can become much more knowledgeable right off the bat, & know your options. You can think about directions that you can take later on.

Check out the following, if you’re interested in  & would like to add more variety.

Here’s a list containing specialty equipment for strongmen, powerlifters, fighters, arm wrestlers & climbers, but can be easily & successfully transferred to any other sport.

It depends entirely on your goals & how enthusiastic you want to become about your grip training.

Classical Spring Gripper

There’s one concrete tool to get quick results with crush grip strength. No matter who you are, hand grippers will never go out of style. You can never go wrong here. There are multiple excellent grippers with different difficulty levels, ranging from Rank Amateur to World Strongest Man. The best default choice will be the Captains of Crush classical spring gripper.

Always consider getting a high-quality one

1. Strong spring – Cheap plastic gripper springs tend to snap much more easily – No, you don’t exactly want sharp shards to fly into your face in the middle of your exercise & injure you. That’s the #1 reason to take a bit more expensive route – You want high-quality products to invest smarter & also avoid injuries caused by cheap/faulty devices as much as possible.
   

   ---

2. Consistency – You’re buying a hard-to-close, let’s say, cheap 100-lb plastic gripper, & a couple of months later you’re closing it for reps like it’s nothing. It makes you feel like you’re already a master & you’ve made a world of progress – Wrong, the reality is, this gripper spring likely just wore out. To monitor your progress better, the solution is a higher-quality gripper.

3 Grippers are Great

Ideally, you want the whole set – But in reality, nothing’s really ideal. So, I’d recommend you get started with at least 3 different hand grippers. This is great to get you started, & it’s probably all you need for a very long time. But of course, the deciding factor here is you. The effort you put in, personal progress & goals. It can be & likely is different for everyone.

---

1. Warm-up gripper – Every exercise should start with a proper warm-up set, no matter what
2. Regular training gripper – Your main hand gripper to get your workouts in effectively
3. Challenge gripper – For the days when you feel strong, motivated, pumped up & need a challenge

---

With 3 different hand grippers, you’ll cover most of your crush grip strength training. You always want to start your training, no matter what exercise we’re talking about, with a proper warm-up set. It’s the bread & butter, standard drill to get your muscles ready for an intense workout. Warm-up sets also serve as a way to lessen the chances of getting injured.

Getting injured means no workouts for you for a long time. Always do warm-up sets no matter what. The best gripper you have should be the regular training gripper – It’s your work-horse that probably gets used the most – It should be well-made across the board so it helps you to be consistent with your training.

For the days when you feel great & pumped up, you should have at least one challenge gripper. It’s optional to have one, but it’s in human nature to be curious – It’s great to test yourself & your limits from time to time. It’s fun, it’s challenging & it’s a key to bragging rights. Nobody wants to miss out on that one, especially when it’s well-earned.

You can use Lifting Straps for deadlifts, rows, pull-ups, snatches, or clean pulls when you don’t want to be limited by your grip or if you want to give the calluses on your palms a rest while you continue to get stronger.

No sewn loop version – Great for quick bailouts on lifts. These are designed for Olympic-style weightlifters

Sewn loop version – To achieve an even better grip & have more control over a weight you’re lifting.

The benefit of using lifting straps is when your hands are sore from training & you want to give your hands as much rest & recovery time as possible while you keep training.

[/nx_column] [nx_column size=”1/2″]

[/nx_column] [/nx_row]

Your forearms are one of the smallest muscle groups in your whole body. It’s easy to over-train your grip & to seriously injure your hands. This is where lifting straps can step in & help you a great deal. Instead of breaking your body, use lifting straps.

If you train, train… if you rest, rest. Don’t do something in between.
You mustn’t underperform as well as nor overdo your routines.

[/nx_tab][/nx_tabs]

The biggest limiting factors in grip training are ligament, tendon & finger pulley strength, which strengthen much more slowly than muscles, over months, not days. As a beginner, it’s great to start slowly & take your time.

Build your strength gradually.  Especially your grip strength – if you go quickly all out on heavy & intense, you’ll very likely get inflammation in your muscles & tendons. It might lead to severe injuries & it means game over for you.

Quality over quantity – Always strive for longevity. We all know that we live in a society that likes to operate under the banner “here & right now”, we want to have everything “yesterday”, but it’s also important to lift & train with your brains as well as with your muscles. Be wise & take caution.

To push your limits mentally & physically, you should have 10-12 months of good overall grip base training under your belt before trying to advance & get the benefits without injury. Give enough time to yourself, & success will inevitably follow. Do not fixate on your forearms only, focus on the rest of your physique as well – Balance is the key
