Best Grip Exercise

[Magnus]

Choose what you think is the best of all grip exercises. If you're torn, vote twice, but post which two you voted for. I know that they are all great exercises, but, we all have favorites, so let's hear them!

For me, I love grippers, but...RT all the way

Is this our favorite or the one we think works best? Whatever, I said pinch and grippers. I'm assuming bending doesn't count as grip in this regard otherwise it would DEFINITELY be braced/DO bending

Lol, I was actually considering bending as one of the options And I mean the exercise we think works the best. Although, my favorite IS the one I think works the best

Now that I read it, I worded it wrong. The best exercise is what I meant

Open hand stuff, in my opinion.

:laugh Hey, that's a serious exercise, man. It's what separates men from boys

Actually, it's cuz my nephew pulled the e-key off the laptop, so it doesn't always work...especially when I least expect it

Oh, man, that sounds funny

Probably thick bar work of some kind, that would work the entire hand much better then anything. Yet I picked grippers, since I enjoy them so much and I really feel it. Also my forearms have experienced some good growth from grippers.

[Hubgeezer]

As of right now, one clown has voted for "hubbing" as the best grip exercise. Geez...

Thick handle farmers walk.

Axle work is close to a tie.

And that way the rest of your body is weak and can support your grip feats.

[The Natural]

Best three exercises, in no order.

1) 2HP holds

2) Thick bar farmer's walks

3) Hard manual labor

what do you mean the rest of your body is weak and can support your grip feats? doesn't a strong body work better?

that must have been a typo. the exercises he listed strengthen the rest of your body also.

I didn't see rock climbing on the list. The last time I went with Braden (airdevil) my hands and fingers were sore all over the place like none of the listed exercises can reproduce.

[wscorpion]

It depends on the purpose:

for the gripsport I would say grippers and pinching, but for assistance during normal strongman it would be either thick bar work (farmer walk, axle, etc), or the 1HDL's.

GRIPPERS!! I LOVE EM!

[Ricochet]

Grippers and Other... Wrist Roller

Best two wrist roller exercises: Two-Man War and the nasty Pinch Grip Wrist Rolling which has provided awesome results for me; using only 10 pounds but that is enough on this exercise!

[ewokhugo]

GRIPPERS because i love them so much.

2 HP close second along with R.T.

[climber511]

#1 - Rock Climbing for all over everything development

But if you mean "What if you could only do one exercise in the weight room, what would it be?" Finger Curls- heavy ones.

[Captain Sam]

I would have to agree with climber 511.

Climbing in general and heavy fingerrolls in perticular. Allso the Campusboard is very good for developing your arms and fingers if you are not prone to injuries in the fingers and elbows.

I myself have fallen in love with the grippers and pinching and are curently stoked as hell! CoC #3 and the two 45:s watch out, im coming to get you...
