bingley Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi guys I'm new to grip training and this is my first proper post, I was wanting to ask all you experts about a simple bare bones workout for a beginner. I already use thick bars and ropes and deadlift double overhand (i'm learning hook grip). But i want to expand on this and perform a grip specific workout after my barbell training. my main interests concerning grip are: bending, tearing and crushing, but i beleive im too much of a beginner to specialise yet so i plan to gain basic hand and forearm strength for about 4 months first. this is the basic workout i was thinking of incorporating into my training 2 sets warm up on gripper 3 sets of 5 on gripper 3 sets of 5 on gripper with a pinch grip 3 sets of 15 on wrist curls 3 sets of 15 on reverse wrist curls rest 1 min between sets do it 3 times a week at the end of my workouts supersetted with my ab/core exercises. thanx for reading and thanx in advance for any comments or tips live long and train hard - bingley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalethefarmer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Are you planning on closing any grips like the CoC or GHP? If so, which level can you close now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingley Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Are you planning on closing any grips like the CoC or GHP? If so, which level can you close now? so far i only have a vulcan gripper. I can no set close level 6 with both hands. my long term goal would be to close level 14 which is similar to a coc#3. but to answer your question more directly i would only purchase a coc so i can get certified, not to use as a training tool as i think the vulcan is good enough so far. thanx for the reply live long and train hard - bingley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingley Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 i bought mine from david horne's world of grip. it cost £56 including shipping. http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/shop.html#vulcan if you live in america and shipping from david is to high for you, than the guys at diesel crew have some as well for around $110 http://www.dieselcrew.com/vulcan-page.htm this may seem steep but its less than buying every coc hope this helped live long and train hard - bingley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
