always trolling for a reaction Member 753, 1280 posts | Being someone who only trains at the gym, for now, I need ways to improve my grip strength. Previously I've stuck to doing barbell forearm curls. Now I need to really work on it to aid my deadlift and what I've planned is: 1. Pinching plates for time 2. Holding the disc side of a barbell for time 3. Forearm curls This may not be the best way so your input is much appreciated! | ||

He's BACK Member 177, 1039 posts SQ 230, BP 155, DL 300685.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Personally all I would do is hold a barbell loaded to more than I can deadlift and hold it, just put it in a power rack and set the pins a few inches below lockout. A few years ago I had grip issues with my deadlift and did pinch grips/farmers walk/wrist curls etc.... But only when I did this exercise did my grip strength go up. | ||

Would you still advise doing the other stuff? | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22062 posts | Another method is to hang from a bar for as long as you can, with weight attached to you. | ||

This is spot on advise IMO if you are trying to improve your grip strength for the deadlift. | ||

The one in the guns and roses teeshirt.

This is the way I train my grip up. Are you training grip for powerlifting, strongman or do you just train? Unless you are doing strongman I reckon you would be sound with what phil suggests. I obviously know naff all about strongman but with a lot of those events grip is really important so you might have to train it a bit more. | ||
