Grippers?

[dmcb]

thinking about buying some when i find some good reasonably priced ones for my lady-like forearms.

Just wondering how many sets/reps i should go for, and can i do them multiple times a week? Will prob do them at the end of my arm workout.

Cheers

^thats not how you do it.

Ok basically is it algud to train forearms hard a few times a week?

your forearms should grow a reasonable amount without any direct work. or you can throw in some rev wrist curls or wrist curls with bb or DB or cables. seated or standing too

or pinching 2 plates togther. loads of ways tho.

1. get grip crushers

2. do them at work

3. all day

4. SORTED.

Just work biceps. DB curls and hammer curls and reverse BB curls will get it done.

If your forearms are a weak point do some specialist work. Wrist curls, reverse curls, heavy deads, plate pinchs (better to do them with multiple smaller plates, holding 4x5kg plates is way tougher than holding a 20kg plate try it!)

fill two 20 ltr jerry cans with water, lift and start walking. rapes your fore arms

Grippers are all shit.

Get a sledge hammer and some 6 inch nails & leather wraps

Do some block and thick bar, spring clamps for your thumbs.

Bit of a naive statment GT?

Grippers have a role to play, but crushing strength doesn't always carry over to other types of grip strength.

However I agree re: training all forms of grip if you're a strength athlete or party trick grip man like yourself.
