Hand Gripper
Using the Hand Gripper
Developing your grip strength is something you should be doing whether you lift weights, wrestledo martial arts or just plain want to get a stronger grip. There are many different workouts and techniques to use to get stronger but this article will cover the hand grippers which most people are familiar with.
Hand grippers are one of the tools you need to be using to help develop your forearm and hand strength. Do not rely completely on these, but mix them in with the many other methods available. If you are not really sure of your grip strength, try out one of the inexpensive store bought kind. It should be about 50lbs. of pressure, If it is too easy to use then you should try one of the really good ones like the Captains of Crush grippers. They have different sets of them that starts at about 100Lbs and gets harder.
There are a few different workouts that you can use with hand grippers. The first is to just do repetitions with each hand for a few sets. Another is to do negatives where you would use a gripper that you can not easily squeeze shut, you can use your other hand to help closing the gripper then hold it closed with your one hand for 5 to 10 seconds. You can also squeeze a gripper shut and just continue squeezing it as hard as you can for 5 to 10 seconds, this is called over crush. To work on the thumb, try holding a gripper between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze, you may have to use a weaker gripper for this one.
You need to mix these in with the many other grip exercises so you develop over all strength in your forearms and hand. You only need to train with the hand gripper 3 or 4 times a week so you can give the muscles time to recover.
