hellswindstaff Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I couldn't find this question answered anywhere. Has anyone noticed an increase in wrist strength from thick grips? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone noticed an increase in wrist strength from thick grips? Yeah I have especially after doing some thumbless stuff with them. When I first started using them my wrist would buckle under the weight but after using them for a while that stopped and my wrist got stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When u do thumbless lifts does your wrist bend inwards or do u keep A straight wrist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bend my wrist inward to pick it up and then gradually straighten out my wrist as much as possible and just hold at the top with my thumb on top of the fatgrip. I just tested it again to make sure I got it right. I grabbed my 45 lbs DB and put a Fatgripz Extreme on it and lifted it thumbless with a straight wrist. Let the weight rest on your fingers and pick it up with a straight wrist. This will absolutely trash your wrist so start out light and work your way up.

mcalpine1986 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Yes. Thumbless especially. I have also found thick bar curls to be very good for increased wrist strength as you wrists work hard to keep your hand straight. I had great carryover to the wrist wrench using thick bar curls.
