Grip Strength

Anyone who trains properly knows that having a strong grip is very important. Why? Well for me having a strong grip represents a strong person, I cant stand shaking someones hand which feels like it's p*ss wet through. Back in the olden days those boys were ripping huge amounts of weights off the floor without the use of straps. As well as having a grip that could crush some pencil pushing fitness instructor's waist their arms were huge!!!
To get a strong grip, you have to lift heavy, as well as using unorthodox equipment such as towels, ropes, stones, odd objects or just anything where you grip has to work overtime to keep hold.
Training your grip should be done at the end of your sessions, including both max effort and for time.
Check out the vids below from Diesel Crew

Remember having a strong grip will help with your training!!
