Guest Gehan.G Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 Hi, I'm new here and basically want to improve my grip for the purpose of deadlifting and also rugby (I'm from the UK). Apart from weighted hangs and static holds what else can I do? I'm not bothered about an insanely strong grip, just one strong enough so my weak point on my deadlift is my back/legs rather than my grip (as it is at the moment). Also the stronger you can grip a rugby ball the better Cheers, Gehan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 I love deadlifting, and have never had grip trouble, but found that static overhand holds helped to make my grip feel even more solid. I think training some heavy duty grippers would do wonders for holding the rugby ball, as would pinching two plates together with the smooth side out, to build your thumb strength. For more of the specifics, you'll find this the Gripboard to be a goldmine of information. Keep us posted on your progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Heavy dumbbells and farmer walk with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griparn Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Maybe blob-lifting would help your grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
