Jeremy Sipple Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Since i have a weak grip i was wondering if you are training on the Apollons axle should you incorporte any specific gripwork as well or does the axle take care of all aspects of grip?

Scott Styles Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 You should still at least include some direct wrist work and finger extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Sipple Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks Scott, I was going to use leverages and thick bar wrist and plate curls for my wrist. What do you recommend for finger extentions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Styles Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I just use two rubber bands that I took off of some brocolli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Sipple Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Good Idea, have you tried thrusting your hand into sand? How often do you train grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Styles Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Never tried buckets of sand, rice, etc. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with two cats in my fiance. Someone would knock it over. My current workout log is here: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=16150 I'm training grip twice a week right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing everthing imaginable on the Axle? Or just specific stuff like curls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even benching gives you some benefit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Sipple Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thanks, i like power cleans and press since the bar does not relvolve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
