opnsysme Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Have any of you tried a light to medium workout in the morning, fresh no squats no other exercise, then 8 + hours more do a serious body workout like squats then do a heavy or hard grip workout and still be strong or stronger on the grippers? Kinda like preloading the grip for later? I have had some success with this but have not done it regularly to have a good answer. Also this isn't a semantical debate as far as "what is light or heavy" its relative to what you do, not how many reps I do or what ever, just general in reps/sets for you personaly.

Matthew Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 actually thats what i normally do. i dont kill my grip at anytime though (need it for work and judo) i like it, i get more volume without the pain of a long workout. and i feel fresh like i didnt do any grip work come my second practice in the evening.

JasonL Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 I notice if I do heavy squats, then do grippers I am stronger. If I do running, then do the grippers, the grip is weak, If I do bodyweight squats, then do a gripper I am stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 definitely got the same results too. i have only done it like two or three times, but some reason i can get some real good squeezes that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 oddly enough yesterday I did heavy DL's, db presses, and weighted chins. I had a guy from work with me and immediately after the workout we were talking grippers and I closed the #3 for him with no prior gripper warm ups, suprised myself as the DL's and Chins, taxed my hands "or so I thought" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
