Hand pain

[Adam Black]

I have read several threads where folks mention how their grip training causes them severe hand pain. I experience very little if any pain from my grip training. So was curious as to how many of us find grip training painfull or not.

For those that do experience a great deal of pain, what is it that you are doing, do you think, that is causing the pain? Such as heavy negatives with a machine or #4.

(For the naysayers that may presume that because I feel no pain means I must not train hard or not posses significant hand power I assure you I make progress with regularity and am less than ¼ of an inch from the #3.)

Adam. I get a real pain on the tumbside of my righthand after that I begin training with CoC grippers. I train with the supergripper for months and have no problem with the hand. But I'm not absolutly sure it's the CoC grippers cause I feel pain when I do wristroller training to, but only when I do them with the rope in front of the roller, not when the rope is between me and the roller.

Adam,

       I get pain on my first two warm-up sets. But after that I am fine. My hands do hurt for a day or so after,But it's a good hurt !

Im with Harlan,,I get pain when I do my first warm up set on my cocs but it is usually fine after that..I have had alittle pain in my fingers lately but its a combination of hitting the grippers hard and my job..I need to take a day or so off and then come back to the grippers..

I get pain near the end of my gripper work outs and afterwords.  Sometimes, I'll get pain doing other grip stuff, but that pain is a carry-over from my gripper workouts.

It amazes me that people do the grippers every day.  I do them once a week and I still get pain.  I guess everyone's different.
