Grip Strength!!

[6tom6tom6]

My Deadlift and shrugs are going up....but my grip is starting to make me have to put the weight down before i should be ending my set haha. Do you guys use straps? I want to get a pair...but i also want to get my grip strength up. What do you guys do for grip strength?? Its kind of an over-looked thing to most people...the rest of you might be strong...but what about your hands and fingers and wrists(the things physically holding the weight)? lol

this forum has the best emotes!

i use wrist straps, i didnt want to but only being able to hold the 90s on db shrugs was killing me, now with my wrist straps i do the 120s and love it. still not easy to hold, but EASIER

farmer walks. hold weight till you can't hold it anymore then repeat. straps have their place, but not for usual training IMO

okay Im corn fed so this has never been a problem.. but I disagree with all do not use straps for grip strength, use a broom stick a rope and weights roll the weight up and down alter grips, this is old school for bull riding your grip will improve drastically and forearms will explode its the truth cause i only speak what I know
