Recommended Posts

So finally taking the leap into pinch grip training. 
I have a 2.5in pinch block and loading pin
was wondering what would be a good starting routine.
Any input would be much appreciated,!

I've had great success in the beginning of a new pinch implement to do high volume 10x10 on easy weight and increasing until I cant so 10's anymore. Then proceed to lower reps/set but keep volume up still.

Lennix's answer is a good one, he knows his stuff. 

There are many workouts you could do. Start light like Thom said to condition your thumbs and finger joints to pinching. 

I prefer lower reps myself as my hands sweat a lot.

Lots of sets of 1-5 reps. For pinch holds are very good for building strength. I like to finish with a hold to end the workout.

I'm still very green when it comes to grip training, just bought a pinch block 2 months ago.. Finally finding out what works, and like Lennix said works, except I'm only doing 5 or 6 sets of 10... I'm also doing holds, but thats on a separate day after using my hub....
