How To Improve Gripper Strength

[AdriaanRobert96]

So simply put, how do you keep improving gripper strength or any other grip implement for that matter?

Today I am more focused on grippers because I wanna hear your thoughts, would also love for the "heavy hitters" of grippers to chime in👍

Here's my list that might help some of ya'll:

1. Gain More Forearm Mass, (Flexors & Extensors).

2. Start With One Set, then build up the volume with more sets and reps, (sets works faster IMO than reps).

3. Adress Your Weaknesses, so this one's very common yet overlookes by myself included because it's easier to do what you're good at.

4. Get Weaker To Get Stronger, take deloads and back off for a while. 
Work with easier resistances to recover and come back stronger.

I'll end this with some questions that I'd love for you fine people to chime in on:

1. At what point are there to many sets and reps at one point, and when is it time to take another approach or deload?

2. When's time to move on to the next gripper, when you hit a certain rep range?

I'll add more question if I have them later😃

I look forward hearing from you people, thank in advance and let's help eachother reach further peaks of strength❤️

Here's my current GRIPPER training if it matters:

I just added +1 extra work set to my grippers to add more volume!

Warmup: 

1. Red Ironmind Bands: 10 reps x 2.

2. CoC #1 x 10 reps.

3. CoC #2 x 3 reps.

4. Easy CoC #2.5 x 1 rep.

5. Heavy CoC #2.5 x 1 rep.

6. Easier #3 x 1 rep.

7. Super Wide #3 x 1 rep (left hand max).

8. #3.5 x 1 (only on right hand).

 Work Sets:

1. Heavy CoC #2.5 x 3 sets of sub max reps on the right hand.

2. Easier CoC #2.5 x 3 sets on left hand.

That's about it!

There's a million ways to train, but at the end of the day, it is the same old progressive overload training and recovery principals that yield results. 

I can tell you that what keeps most people from progressing is overthinking and making their training far too complicated.

Best of luck on your journey and goals.

Simplicity goes a long way for sure and I always find my way back to it, likewise brother🏋️‍♂️
