Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255 567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	I need help! My grip fails on farmers even though I can get moving pretty quick with them, so once I can grip properly I should be able to do well in this event. Currently I do doh deads, 50kg dumbbell holds, some CoC and some 1 handed deads. Anyone got any tips for number of reps, frequency or anything else I should be doing? Thanks guys

my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320 720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq	seems like ur training ur grip hard already. stupid question but when u get ready to lift the farmers do u curl ur hand around an extra bit?

Yeah I get right underneath it. Think the technique is good, just grip not strong enough.

The obvious choice but I don't have access to farmers handles every week and doing once every 2-3 isn't often enough I think. I do 50kg dumbbells for 90seconds but maybe I should up the weight and reduce the time.

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 22.02.2013 @ 21:45 PM by MrSmall What weight does your grip fail at? Are you using chalk? 90 seconds with 50kg dumbells walking about it pretty tough going, they are harder than farmers of the same weight that's for sure.

Yes loads of chalk. I guess 130kg's farmers is as hard as around 70kg dummbells?
