Does this look like a well rounded routine?

Right now I'm doing Bryce Lanes 50/20... But 3 times a week I'm doing grip work. 

 

I use my COC before I start my main workout, after my main workout I do some sledgehammer levering, 3 sets in each direction.  I have an 8 ,10 ,14, and 16lbs  I use depending on the day.  Then I do some holds with fire brick (i made a thread about that previously),  I also do farmers walks twice a week, then I finish with  a wrist roller which I just bought, and I also have a Twist Yo Wrist coming tomorrow ( i got it for $15) and then I hang from the pull up bar for time, every week I try to add a few seconds.  

Just looking for feedback, over the last 6 months I've been getting more into grip training.  I want to get into anvil horn carries too, but I'm still new and have  enough to keep my busy for awhile.  But it seems to me I have everything covered.  I also try to stretch my wrists a lot and massaging them. Between working out and doing construction, my hands get used.. Plus I do some blacksmithing on the weekends. 

 

Its funny how everyone is different  I can front face lever a 14lbs sledgehammer (form isn't the cleanest), with very little training but I only just closed the COC 1 yesterday, after 6 months of training with them. But in my defense, I haven't used the COCS consistently.

In regards to grippers- I  know this seems counterintuitive, but do grippers after your main non-grip workout. My grippers are much stronger(as are many others) after doing any type of presses, hip belt, etc. Make sure you do the sledge in all directions - choking up or down- as needed. I have done bar hangs for a very long time(really for my spine) but for grip strength try adding weight and hang around 20-30 seconds. Once achieved, you add more weight, move around while hanging, etc. Maybe buy some fatgripz and do all curls, rows, DL with them. Toss in some plate pinches and you will be doing fine.

Thanks... I'm going to start doing plate pinches, that is a great idea.. I gave my barbell set to my bro and his fiance. But I have a couple 45s, 35s and various other plates lying around. 

I used to do that with grippers, but I've been seeing better results doing it before my main workout. But I will try it again, the way you said.
