Towel For Crush-grip?

[androushka]

Hey people, I'm just getting started with some more focused grip-training, I usually lift kettlebells and do a lut of pull-ups, and I was wondering, is hanging, pulling-up, locking-off etc gripping a towel a good way to build crush-grip-strength? It would fit in my current strength-training much better than adding new excercises. Thanks for any input!

Works for me. I can barely move my fingers when I'm done with these.

I tried it once and i liked it very much, only the towel didn't like it and ripped apart

Then i tried with another towel which i made wet first, and this one didn't rip but it wasn't pleasant holding a wet towel....

If you've got an old pair of jeans that need to be thrown out cut the legs off. Now loop each leg over the bar and grab one in each hand. Now chin away.

i took 2 thin cheap bath towels and folded it a couple times and threw them over the headers in my garage. It is almost too thick to get my hands around each one, but they seem to kill my hands. I can only do a couple. I seem much better at them after a gripper workout though....maybe just need to warmup a bit before trying them...
