Shooter77B50 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 How long should a grip training program last? Most of the time I grip train for more than 45 minutes. Is 45 minutes to much? I might need to change my grip training program a little depending on what is recommend. I exercise my grip 3 days a week & 1 day of other training where I work my arms. What do you all recommend for my grip training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Mine take about two hours. The rest is the most thing I use in this two hours. It made me close a CoC #3 and cert on the Red Nail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephistopholes Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I always train grip at the end of my "regular" lifting sessions. I'd say the whole session takes an hour and a half, with grip taking 20-30 mins. But I only train one grip lift in any given session.

Shoggoth Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I like to work grip in between my regular "core" work sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squat More Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I usually do grip training between Squat sets, days I do close grip bench as bench assistance, and deadlift days. I don't really time my grip training, it just happens between my core lifts training. Grip is usually an after thought, I don't obsess about it and it works for me best that way. Some days what I want to do grip related just isn't working so I will do something else. In my opinion it is far more important to work with barbells and train the core lifts as a main priority then do grip related stuff. I know Steve Gardener has said it many times, if you want a strong or stronger grip you gotta be strong over all. You can't pull 400 pounds on an axle if you can't pull 400 pounds on a barbell, essentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started training grip as a means toward making myself stringer overall, and Improving my "big lifts," and as much as I lie training grip, it still maintains that status.

hellswindstaff Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 You can take 16 hours if your body can handle it. I try and get all of my training in <60minutes... solely for time management purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
