Gripper training


Gary Brown

Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how the top guys train grippers. I can't find much in the workout section. I used Kta before but forgot how it goes. Anyway, I use 4 grippers. Any easy one for reps. A second one for singles. A third in a chocker. And the forth is one that I can't close in the chocker. I work my way up to the forth one and do three attempts. Then I get the third one at least 3 times. I do the second one at least 3 times then I do 3 sets of 8 or 10 with the first one. I finish with about 7 sets of wrist curls. I hit it about every 3rd day but my progress I'm disappointed in. Please help.

You should check out the "the grip well", you might find some useful information in there. It's located in the Grip FAQ section.

@Jedd Johnson has a book on this and developed a gripper training method called candence based training.  Im not a top guy but i went from barely closing a rgc 127 to quite possible in the 160s using  just reps.

I can't beat the IVANKO factory instructs:  10-15 reps x 3+ sets,  2x week.  A good general training protocol for any exercise IMO.
