Hey Friend,
There's a thing I do after every weight training workout...
It's a "secret" ritual of sorts that has helped me get stronger and lift heavier with the major compound lifts.
You see for years my grip strength sucked. I always had problems holding on to heavy dead lifts, shrugs, and rows. I
had lots of pulling power, but I just couldn't hold on to the bar
without using lifting straps.
So way back in 2004 I ordered a set of Heavy Grips Hand Grippers to
help strengthen my grip. When I got the grippers I could barely close the 200
pound gripper, and couldn't even budge the harder grippers. Note there are 6 different heavy grips that go from 100 pounds, all the way to 350 pounds in resistance.
But I set a personal goal for myself that I would close the 350 pound hand gripper
before the end of the year.
I faithfully trained the hand grippers 3 times per week (after my
workouts). This was my "post workout ritual". When I got home from the gym I would immediately spend 10 minutes training the hand grippers before I did anything else.
The gripper routine I used focused on doing heavy negative reps with the harder
grippers along with special technique work with the lighter grippers.
Week by week I could see my grip improving. Within a couple weeks I moved up to
closing the 250 pound gripper, then on to the 300 pound gripper, and within 3 short months of starting my hand gripper training ritual I was able to fully close the 350 pound hand
gripper!
I was amazed at how fast my grip strength went up by training with the
Heavy Grips Hand Grippers. I thought for sure it would take me a full
year to be able to close the 350 pound gripper, but I was able to achieve
that goal in just 90 days!
And in addition to my new found grip strength I also added a full inch to my
forearms during that same 90 day time frame.
Now when I train my back with heavy dead lifts, shrugs, or rows my grip is solid and I
hardly ever need to wear lifting straps as a crutch. My grip has never
been this strong and it was all a result of regular training with the
Heavy Grips.
And right now you can get your very own set of Heavy Grips Hand Grippers along with a FREE copy of the "Post Workout" Hand Gripper Training Ritual that I followed to dramatically increase my grip strength and also add a full inch of muscle mass to my forearms in just 90 days! |
