Why aren't you training grip strength?

Why aren't you training grip strength?

all things considered it would be a waste of my time

But I am

I kinda do. Trying to get a biger wrist and forarms.

So you don't actually lift then? Or are you saying you strictly use machines?

I used to until I got really good grip strength for deads then saw no need to

Apparently tire flips work well if you have the room for bigger wrists.

I've found power tools useful. Thinking about tightening/loosening a nut and bolt by hand might work too.

because it's significantly trained indirectly via the ipsilateral training effect on strapped deadlifts

I'm saying the benefits I'd get from it wouldn't be proportional to the time spent, as my time is limited

Because i can double overhand 4pl8 without hookgripping. With hookgripping i can pull well into 600s so its whatever

Grip is largely genetic and comes down to hand size, which is also largely genetic

Stronger Grip = Bigger Lifts

What are you getting out of shitposting on Veeky Forums?

Kek.

it's a habit
15 minutes of shitposting spread throughout the 8 hours I'm in front of my pc doesn't hurt me

15 minutes farmers walk will make you huge

it'd help a lot if I didn't do squats and deadlifts, but I do
and it'd take 15 extra minutes of my time, and make me extra tired for the rest of the day
but you're probably NEET or close to it and you don't know the value of time

>Bouldering every week
>Skating every week
>Gym 4x a week
Shame my diet is utterly fucked or i'd be shredded

How much do you double overhand deadlift?

Shut up and acknowledge the fact that your shitty "waste of time" argument got btfo'd you autist

225

Pounds or kilos?

GOAT forearm exercise
>hold fixed weight dumbbells/barbell a little heavier than you could comfortably curl
>flex your wrists backwards and forwards so you're kind of spinning it back and forth in your hands
>do 4xfailure at the end of each workout
>forearms explode
i've been lifting for like 2 years and i only started doing this last month, forearms have increased more in that time than in the eight months before starting

So wrist curls.

so sort of like curling with your wrists? i'm having trouble picturing this in my head unless you just mean wrist curls...?

pounds, do you honestly believe that he can pull 225kg double overhand when everyone on here thinks 4pl8 is a good pull with straps?

Ever wondered why 2" thicc barbell feels heavier than 1". Because you can't lift heavy thing up the floor if your grip is weak af.

100 kg is low for switching to mixed grip imo. I can also double overhand about that but I do train grip a fair amount.

As in about 225 kg, not 225 lbs.

Sound like a weak pencil pusher to me

Do these actually work? Increase size over time?

He's talking about holding dumbbells in a standing farmers/suitcase carry position and supinating and pronating the wrist.

I hate those standards, 4pl8 is good, easily above average weight what still does not mean you shouldn't progress once you achieve it

The forearm is complex af. I think those are overrated and only work finger strength and neglect the thumb. Farmers walk is the goat.

They do work the thumb too.

If you hold them wrong, then yes.

So, farmer's walks then? You guys only shitpost and argue instead of actually talking about the optimal way of training your grip :(

Fingertip everything instead of using hands with calisthenics
Rope or Thick towel chinups
Just hanging from something with one hand

All ways to strengthen to forearms and get a strong grip.

Everything helps. Those grippers are great if you're just idly sitting around. Heavy pulls pronated, walks, hammer curls, use variation and you'll naturally get juicy arms.

I "loosen" a nut by hand everyday before bed but you faggots keep telling me to stop touching myself

I do not train grip strength because my superior genetics gifted me with a natty, ungodly grip. Men physically whince when I shake their hand. Fake breasts on escort lovers have been destroyed by my superior grasp. I am afraid that day I actually train my grip strength is the day I go to rearrange my underwear and accidently crush my own testicles, thus preventing me from gifting my superior god seed unto humanity.
