sammyg Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Hey, My grip goal at the moment is to be able to pinch 2 30's. At the moment my max is 2 10kg's for 6seconds. Here's the training i'll do: Tuesday & Thursday Pinch 10kg for time. (warmup) Pinch 2 10kgs for MAX time, 2 sets Plate Curls, 2 sets MAX Fingertip Pushups, 2 sets Please give me all the feedback possible. I've just started grip training and i think making a goal for yourself then training specifically for it is the way to go. Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Setting a goal and working towards it is definetly the way to go. Your routine looks solid. I like the holds. I feel that they are the best way to develop hand strength. After a few sessions you'll probably want to change things up, to try a few new exercises or to work your hands from "different angles." Keep the pinching, as it's your main goal, but rotate the other exercises every couple of weeks. That way, you won't get stale with the same thing over and over.

sammyg Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thanx man, how old were you when you started grip training?? What were your starting pinches and how long did it take you to reach the point you're at now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I've been doing hammer curls and playing with cheapo grippers ever since I starting working out, probably when I was about 15. I've been really into the grip stuff for about 3-4 years, but the intensity has been way up the last 2 years. When I first started pinching about 2 years ago, I think I could holds 25's for maybe 15 seconds. It took about a month to lift 35's, and about 2 more months to finally get the 45's.
