Guest Squat More Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 With hands that size, you'll go far with it man just stick with it, that separates the average guys from the guys who break world records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Squat More Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I am 6' tall and my hands are about 7 3/8" long, not sure of the span from pinky to thumb or width, never much worried about it. Also have short thumbs, which sucks. Edited December 3, 2013 by Squat More 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Ruby Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Yeah I'm 6'10" tall hands are 8 3/4" long and 10 1/2" wide Have you tried any wide pinch feats? Your hands are around the same size as mark felix My hands are just a touch over 8 inches long and little over 9 inches wide and I feel it helps a lot for thickbar so I imagine you will make quick progress. You don't live that far from jedd johnson do you? He has a huge collection of things out there and contests all the time you should do one sometime. You will have a blast and do really well.

Guest Squat More Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I met a 17 year old kid (relative of my girlfriend) who has hands that have got to be at least 8.5" long, he is maybe 4 inches taller than me but his hands are huge. I never measured them but palm to palm they dwarf mine. He is a high school basketball player, trying to get him interested in grip. If he is willing to give it a shot I will get him on David's beginner program for a few months then straight to the rolling thunder and and blob.

Massey Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 So I tried and Axel today we have one at my gym it's a 100lb axel and since I just started deadlifting again I know my hands could hold more weight then I could deadlift so I put it in the rack and pulled it from knee high to see what I cold hold and now I know it's much harder to pull it from the ground to a lockout I got up to 465 and held it for about 3 seconds so I'm gonna really focus on DLing so I can make it a full lift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squat More Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Awesome stuff man, you could even do reverse grip axle deads from a rack, maybe try a bit lower than the knee and just switch the reverse grip each rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's actually one work set, followed by an isometric hold of a weight 5-10lbs heavier than that days working weight for 3-5 seconds. This is where you squeeze as hard as possible at lockout. Dude, I sat on the couch looking at Chez's MM5 cert video and while he was resting I was thinking to myself, "Dewd, I forgot to do the HOLDS in skwattmo's program!?" Holy shiet. I wonder how much I miss out on in gains cause of it? I have to remember to do the holds this round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Started cycle number 2 today the weight was 176.3 got 23 right handed and 15 left thinking I should go up 10lbs for next week any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Started cycle number 2 today the weight was 176.3 got 23 right handed and 15 left thinking I should go up 10lbs for next week any thoughts? Your around the same strength as me and I was doing around 195 for my reps last week4 45's and a 10 I would suggest at least 10 lb jump next week 23 is probably too easy you should do a weight that is hard for 10-15 I feel 15 being top end. Also yeah the holds help a lot I think I might do more of them even. I want to get another handle and do holds with weight attached to me in a pull up position. I know the world record holder can easily do pull ups with them and he is a big guy so I think that would be a good exercise also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
