Hi everyone!
Improving grip strength is the key to developing stronger arms and can dramatically improve many different strength aspects of your physique such as pull ups, dead lifts, bench press etc. Strengthening your grip is therefore essential in your training, however for most people, it is highly neglected.
A great exercise to strengthen your grip that can be done anywhere is to carry around a tennis ball and squeeze it every once in a while. It not only improves grip strength, but is a great stress reliever that can be used in the office or even below your table in a meeting room!
When you are in the gym, a great way to strengthen your grip is to perform an exercise called forearm grip strengtheners. What you want to do is take dumbbells in each hand and with a closed grip, rolled the dumbbell up and down the length of your fingers. Make sure to never open up your hands and to keep that closed grip. If you feel like your hands are opening up, it is a sign that you need to take a break. Your goal is to try and do 4 sets of 25 reps.
To dramatically increase your handgrip strength, you need to do forearm grip strengtheners with the heaviest weight possible that you can do 20 reps with. Use the same 4 set routine and really push your grip strength training to the next level and go as heavy as possible. You will see in time that your strength in your grip will drastically increase and you will then see the benefits in other exercises such as dead lifts, pull ups, bicep curls and even in bench press where your stability will be drastically increased!
