Grip Is Overlooked Alot In Training

Grip is everything.  Everything we do in and out of the gym requires us to use our hands.  This is quite funny because no one ever trains grip to get better and stronger at it. In my opinion, pinch is probably the most important facet of grip – and it has the most carryover to the other areas of grip strength – crush, support, wrist postures and hand health.  Work your grip at the end of the workout, so that you don’t affect your strength levels during your primary worksets.  You can also work grip during and into the workout just by switching out standard implements with thick bars, Fat Gripz, axles, towels and other grip-enhanced implements.
