My girlfriend drives everywhere due to travel sickness so I usually use on of these in the passenger seat
It’s deffo helped as I was giving her a massage the other day and she complained I was squeezing her hard and I don’t even realise

i tend to sporadically ill do some reps one day then wait a week then repeat like if its not in my gym i tend to disregard it. I need to establish a proper routine

Yes.
Farmer carries, plate pinches, dead hangs.
Those are what I do among other forearm exercises.

>>77215679
I did those for a while and then got bored.
I think I got up to #2.
But no matter how many reps I could do, I could never fully close it that last millimeter or 2.

i got trigger finger and now use straps for everything

I can't increase my grip strength no mater how much I train it. Got an electric grip strength measuring thing. I only have ~105 pound grip strength on my right hand, my wife who has never lifted anything had ~90 pound grib strength. So I gave up on it.

>>77216660
>I gave up on strength training because I'm weak
do you see the problem here, nitwit?

>>77215679
I used to train high reps on grippers but it always ended in tendinitis. I found I made better progress keeping things in the 1-3 rep range. you also have to resist the urge to overtrain which can be tough.

>>77215679
Yes, I like grip training, my goal is to close CoC #3. I can currently close 2.5, but still have a long way to go to be able to close 3.
I also have some RPM Power grippers, which I think are good for the price, but I did manage to break two of their grippers. However this was after a lot of usage, so I was still happy with the value I got out of them.
I also use GD Iron Grip adjustable gripper, which is a very good adjustable gripper and quite versatile.

Such is life

Nice. I've been stuck in the 2.5 range for a couple of years now. I think to break this plateau I'd have to completely focus grippers only. Whenever I try to improve my pinch or open hand my gripper strength always suffers.

Farmers Walk, Dead Hangs, Wrist Rollers.
I also do my Deadlift warmup set overhand grip, and my pullup warmup set I aim for 5-7 second reps

I've been trying to improve my hook grip.
I also like to do kettlebell pronations and supinations.
>Lay bell on flat surface
>Grab handle by the corner
>Pronate and supinate with control

Seated behind the back hanging barbell wrist curls, followed by bench supported hanging barbell wrist raises, both at 60 lbs twice a week on arms day, and sometimes I follow them with seated hanging dumbbell wrist rotations at 30 lbs each.

I also like deadhangs but I do the lifted leg variation to turn it into an ab exercise, and I like farmer's carries but because the gym doesn't have dumbbells heavier than 75 lbs I treat it more like a core stability exercise.

I worked at UPS for 6 months after getting laid off and developed crazy grip strength from moving boxes. When I hit a 4pl8 deadlift I could double overhand 375. 6 months prior I was switching to mixed at 315

>>77215679
The CoCs are great. Started with the T 4 years ago on the 3 now for reps.

You could've just bought a single one that was adjustable.

>>77217204
>chinese shit
I bought One of that shit and the quality is shit

>>77217390
Well I've had one for years and it's still working fine also it's korean, sounds like you're mixing it up with a cheap ripoff
Takes 2 seconds to adjust the weight too. Buying coc shit is like buying different weighted barbells instead of just buying plates like a normal human being

>>77216660
Are you serious? I'm weaker than either of you, even though I've been grip training for a while. So far my worst dynamometer result was 35.8kg (~79lbs) and best was 42.5kg (~93.7lbs). Could it be partially caused by my rather thin (15cm (~5.9in)) wrist?

join a landscaping crew
if not possible then get a wheelbarrow, a shovel and a pile of dirt. shovel the dirt into the wheelbarrow, push the barrow 100 feet away and repeat until the entire pile has been relocated.
not a joke

Not directly grip related (I think) but how do I train my extensors?
I know that if you only train your forearm flexors you can rapidly suffer from tendinitis as youre only exerting your flexors.
Are there other ways besides those finger spreading thingies?

>>77216873
I've been at 2.5 for a couple of months now as well. I think the difficulty in progressing really starts to increase around this range.
I know it would be a good idea to get some rgc rated grippers so that the jump from my 2.5 and 3 would be smaller, but I don't really want to buy a bunch of new grippers.

>>77217700
Wrist roller should target either flexors or extensors depending on the rolling direction, i think.

>>77215679
>Train grip strength?
Yes, I have a few CoC and a wrist roller, they work great. A few gyms I’ve been to also have this Roger’s grip trainer machine that will blow up your forearms like no other.

>>77217700
Reverse wrist curls and also those finger spreading thingies that you already mentioned.
Regarding the finger extensors bands, IronMind sells some that are a bit more expensive than you might find from no name brands, but they seem to be more durable.
I had some cheap bands that snapped and then I bought Ironmind ones and they are more resilient.
If you are training with grippers or plan to, I would do both, reverse wrist curls and finger extensions. I think that pretty much anyone that does grip training would recommended to do some sort of finger extension exercise, for reasons that you mentioned.
