vince Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 i've started to work my hands 3 times a week, working each aspect of hand strength (crush, pinch & wrist) in each session. Mondays -one arm dead lifts on a rolling thunder, 2 sets 5 reps -pinch dead lifts on a hub-style pinch gripper, 2 sets 5 reps -wrist rolling Wednesdays -work on COC's, 2 sets 5 reps -wrist curls/revers wrist curls, 2 sets 5 reps -static holds on hub-style pinche gripper for 15 seconds Fridays -leveraging with a sledge hammer, 2 sets 5 reps -max lift dead lift with rolling thunder 2 sets -thor's hammer, 2 sets 5 reps *after every hand work out i work a bit on some dexterity balls. i've found this helps recovery. any comments? my goals are, well to eventually be certified as a Captain of Crush, but right now just simply to get my hands back to where they were. I was able to close the #2 with only a few reps, but had surgery in early September, and just recently started training again. i already owe a lot to Jedd and smitty cause they've given me some good tools of knowledge. I do have Brookfield's book, "mastery of hand strength." thanks, Stay Strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chips Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Keep up the routine you just described, give it a few weeks, gauge your results before adding or changing anything.It looks like a decent routine, although I wouldn't train crushing grip the same time as pinch gripping. Don't turn it into brain surgery, just train with focus and intensity. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
