Shooter77B50 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Is it a good idea to loosen up your fingers on an off day and if so what are some good rest day grip exercises? I'm doing a 3 week 1 week rest program that seems to be giving results through those 3 weeks. I'm currently resting this week to recover. My workouts are Starting with grippers until complete failure Working with different diameter wrist rollers starting with 3 inch diameter until I'm down to the rope & then I drop an inch repeating the process until I'm down to a 1 inch wrist roller on just the rope. Days in between i strictly train my pinch grip with similar strategy to the wrist roller. I do the gripper & roller workout every other day. I also do my pinch gripping every other day. I pretty much do 7 days a week for 3 weeks & then take a week off. Any suggestions are always excepted. I am noticing gripper & pinch improvements already & this is just rest day 1. My goals are to do high reps on a 200 pound gripper this year & close a coc 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 the only concern i'd have with your type of workout is the volume... i know if i was pushing out those kind of reps i would burn out... but if you have been training for that long and are still seeing results then it works here lately i have been doing a medley style routine where i start off with 1.5" block set grippers then do about 5-6 random items i lay out on the floor - then finish the medley with a 25mm block set (short side of ghp block) i think it will help me in the all around big picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellswindstaff Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe an systematic deload before burnout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
