ChimpGrip Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've been doing clean and presses with my homemade 3 1/2 thick barbell. I do NOT have big hands, so it is extremely difficult to hold on to. Does doing cleans with such a thick bar serve much benefit to my grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Do it for a couple years and report back. Questions like this will all answer themselves with some time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChimpGrip Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Will do. I meant to say 3 1/2 inch diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Andrade Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If I could only do one grip exercise it would be axle cleans. Biggest bang for your buck IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh O'Dell Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 3 1/2 in axle thats insane, what kinda weighy you pullin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChimpGrip Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Right now I can do 90 lbs, I did that in my workout yesterday. Though I think I can probably do more. what makes it so hard is that my hands are not big at all, and are probably considered small compared to most grown men. my original goal was just to deadlift big weight on but now I'm doing the clean and presses too.
