How to train grip strength

[cedar ledge]

Born with good grip strength, I wanna make it stronger. Any suggestions/tips (rn prolly just using deadhangs)

You don't need to train grip strength if your grip form while lifting and hanging is good and you are doing progressive overload

True true

You would only be wasting extra time .

Deadhangs are a great start, probably the best. any forearm exercises would work as well like forearm curls. I dont think grip strength is a waste of time to train because its one of the most practical ways to use your muscles.

Will take into consideration, thank you for the input

[hazy sable]

no not necessarily

you can train grip if you want to

its fine

or you could not use straps on back movements

grip strength is like every other strength

its heavily related to cns output and neuromuscular efficiency

and adaptations

also @cedar ledge just do what diaz said, and farmer carries work too. weighted deadhangs with a weightbelt are also good

[cedar ledge]

I think Im gonna stick with deadhangs for now🧟‍♂️

Thank you for the advice though, once my grip is stronger I'll use weight

[hazy sable]

ye

deadhangs are pretty good in that theyre a very easy static hold

what i mean by this is unlike planche you can add weight like weighted calisthenics since its a basic

so for grip STRENGTH maybe go for 10 sec holds with weight once you can

and then work your way up and up

thing about static holds for strength though is that with seconds as the failure or basically intensity measure

youre gonna be having lots of variance

ie one day you get 30 seconds, one day 33, another day 29

it just differs like that

[cedar ledge]

How much weight would you recommend

[hazy sable]

honestly depends

id say load up what you can do for 10 seconds if you want strength ish

but

yeah

just progressively go up in weight hntil you reach that

[cedar ledge]

Aight bet will try over the weekends

[cinder yew]

Training forearms help a lot! Wrist curls for example have helped me, you could research more on forearm training

[cedar ledge]

Aight bet twin, thanks

[hazy sable]

hes right yeah wrist curls are good for tendon strength

If u want to train proper usable grip. Hang towels from the bar, and hold onto those while hanging. It’s a lot harder lol
