lukaz_ Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ok guys, I am 16 years old (I would say I still have a lot of growing and gaining strength only by aging), 6 feet tall and around 150lbs. My hands are around 7 inches, pretty small, hope they still grow some . I got interested in grip training on the middle of the year. Bought a trainer.Couldn't even close it once, so I began working with some forced assist reps through the day, on a GTG approach (Grease the groove, by Pavel Tsatsouline). Then i bought a #1 (can close it 3 times with right hand), #2 (this is tough for weaklings like me) , powerball with no clock, dexterity balls, expand bands, mastery of hand strength book, made a pinch grip device which isnt very wide nor very small, made a forearm roller, have adjustable dumbell, also took a stick and put 2kg on the edge, to do levering and rotation exercises, and instead of raising the weight i keep going farther back on the 1 inch marks i made on it. Thats the equipment i got....now for the actual program: I will be performing these with no rest between each one in a circuit way: Warm up with powerball Pinch hold, normally using a weight that i can hold for 5-10 secs Hold with a nail bending grip on a thin rope CoC #1-1 rep CoC T-5 reps (addin a rep to the #1 each week, and takin one of from T) Finger extension-Assisted reps with the one above what i can open, and the one i can open for around 15 rep Reverse wrist curls- 5-20 Wrist curls- 5-20 Forearm roller- 1 or 2 reps with a heavy weight, wrist down only (to correct inbalance) Levering- 5-20reps Rotation- 5-20reps I will basically do Monday-heavy, Wednesday-light/nothing at all, friday-moderate I will be doing deads, pull ups, and some stuff with thick bar on the other workouts. Thats it guys, what do you think? I am sorry if i may sound too newbie, and please pardon my english, I am not from the USA (thats why i got a bunch of stuff at once). Thanks for you help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
