Dim_Sum_Kid Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) After a bunch of reading up on the subject. I've put together a training routine that I'd like your thoughts on. I've been doing grip for a year now, and want to take it to the next level. I'm not a competitor or anything. I just want a stronger grip. The routine is essentially Dave Horne's basic routine with a few modifications. I've designed it with a structure similar to Strong lifts 5x5 (2 or 3 workouts, alternating each day). The main chunk of the workout is a form of pinch, gripper, finger extension, and wrist curl/extension. The variation on each day comes in the form of a wrist variant (ulnar/radial, hammer grip rotation), and a vertical grip lift. My rationale is that this routine focuses on the main focus of grip (pinch, crush, wrist/forearm), but it allows for some variation so I can cover all my bases and target things that might get missed. Specifically, I'm wondering if it's too much/little, covers insufficient/all my bases, is it too complicated/simple? Workout A Pony pinch 3x10 Ivanko gripper 3x10 Rubber band finger extensions 3x to failure but aim for at least 20 reps Pulley cable wrist curl 3x10 Pulley cable wrist extension 3x10 Hammer grip wrist rotation 3x10 Workout B Pinch block 3x10 each rep is a hold for 5 secs Ivanko gripper 3x10 Rubber band finger extensions 3x to failure but aim for at least 20 reps Pulley cable wrist curl 3x10 Pulley cable wrist extension 3x10 pulley cable ulnar/radial deviation pulls 3x10 Workout C Key pinch 3x10 each rep is a hold for 5 secs Ivanko gripper 3x10 Rubber band finger extensions 3x to failure but aim for at least 20 reps Pulley cable wrist curl 3x10 Pulley cable wrist extension 3x10 Vertical grip lift 3x10 each rep is a hold for 5 secs Edit: Or am I better just sitcking with Dave's basic routine as is, and take it until I get bored of it?
