Build Grip Strength FAST

Grip strength is often overlooked in most training plans.

Stronger grip = more fiber recruitment = bigger, stronger muscles.

A lot of the typical grip training exercises are focused on building the forearms (e.g. wrist curls) when we really need to be focusing on strengthening our hands.

3 of our favorite grip training tools are:

1. Plate Holds - The key to this exercise is to grab the thickest plate you can handle. Bumper plates work great for this.

2. Towel Hangs - If you don't have a towel pull-up set up in your gym, get one. It's a great pull-up variation but also a great finisher for the day to burn out your grip.

3. Rice Digs - You'll need a bucket filled with rice for this exercise but it's one of the best grip training tools for dynamically training your grip and finger strength.

Excellent timing as I’m trying to get pull ups but hanging on the bar hurts my hands - can’t wait to give these a try!

Just hand wash your clothes and youll have tremendous grip strength. I always wash on sundays

I never thought that squishing rice makes me better in bodybuilding. Also never thought it is a dynamic drill.

Love it, especially the rice bucket idea! My hands feel week but can do 4 pull ups. My goal is 10 pull ups so this will hopefully get me there faster. Huge thanks!

Great video. I incorporated a couple of these exercises into my workout and in two weeks my grip strengthened over 20lbs. My Right side: 140 lbs, Left side: 125 lbs.

To improve grip strength, I recommend filling a bigger bucket with sand and striking it with everything thing you got, push through the pain and you come out stronger and tougher with hands capable of splitting rocks

Rice bucket is a first I’m seeing that. I like the idea as a active focused exercise. Will definitely try this one.

Hang exercises really are amazing for me

My grip strength has been really destroying my workouts, I never knew it was an issue, but the neglect of it and my forearms has created this issue. I struggle with holding heavy dumbells mostly,

[unknowncrazy]

Hmm any body weight workouts to workout grip strength and videos please ❤

The rice squeezing got Steve Carlton to the Hall of Fame.
