chese - 25 rep sets...not cool...what's it doing

rynuku - if you can 365 for 10 reps don't bother going over 5

best I know of, if fat bars aren't available, wrap the bars up a bit to thicken like I suggested with the towel.

ill never make it because im not listening to your stay under 5 rep advice?

i do more than enough sets and weight lifting sessions where i stay under 5 reps...but as i said...i switch routine alot...im not a person who stays on the same program for 3 months...u ever think that not EVERYONE has the same goals as you?...but this thread was not about me...so ya...

THE END

All I'm going to say is whatever helps you increase weight do it.

yeah, go the grippers I reckon, they're a bit expensive for training of one body part, but a worthwhile investment to increasing your hand grip strength. Just make sure you train your hands like you would train any other body part, get decent grippers that get progressively harder to close, not the weak el cheapo store grippers that you can do 50 reps per set.

For endurance I hang off chin up bar and time holds.

Hey Mr. Kid....grip strength is more than the whole of your hand. Have you seen rock climbers and how they can hang from 2-3 FINGERS!? That's grip strength. I had to have PT/OT on hand for an avulsion on middle finger....little...itty bitty slip of a chip broke off the distal phalange on right hand and man did it hurt!! Messed up grip too. Anywhoooo, one of the tools they gave me to work with at home was a big glob of extra strength silly putty. It's probably not really silly putty but it looks and feels like it except it's very dense and I have to really work it to do therapy. I roll it into a sausage and then pinch with one finger and thumb all the way to the end. Then roll it again and do the same thin with two fingers and thumb pinching along the roll. It is hard to do, but will build the strength in your fingers and thumb. Just do it with both hands. Squeezing it from a ball is another great exercise. It's a great strengthener!!

selaine, sounds similar to those aggression balls and those sorts of things, I like the idea.
