spinal1 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well, I've been doing JUST CoC grippers. That may be a big mistake, but, I'm still new to the grip game. If you got anything else that would be beneficial to me, and easy to do/understand, then state what you think else I should be doing - I'd greatly appreciate it. For example, I thought of getting those finger bands for training my fingers. Also, I may try to do 15-20 lb blobs for start. Besides what I said above, here is my workout routine. I currently close a #1 3-4x Warm up with store bought grippers: 2 sets of 8-12 Trainer: 3 regular, 3 inverted each hand CoC #1: 5 regular, 5 inverted each hand (I obviously can't get it closed all the way, but I assist and do 1-2 second negatives each rep) CoC #2: 3 assisted reps regular, each hand Then after my hand workout, I do put my hands in cold water and then warm water, and massage What do you guys think?

Sybersnott Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Looks good to me. Have you thought about doing other types of grip training; you said you'd like to try the blobs? What about some thick bar training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about some thick bar training? I think that is my main problem bro, I don't exactly know what 'pinching' and 'thick bar training' is... :P But yeah, are blobs very helpful? Because if so, I may think about sawing off some old dumbbells and try to make some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinal1 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) One thing I do in the gym to sort of help grip: Farmer walks with 80-100 lbs... Wrist rolls, wrist curls, and reverse curls but that's about it. Edited July 30, 2006 by spinal1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
