Grip Training

You never know when you'll find yourself in a tough predicament where grip strength will save you.  Here are a couple of the many ways to build grip strength.

Farmer's Walk

Farmer's Walk looks easier than it is.  Grab a couple of heavy dumbbells or kettlebells or whatever you can get a good grip on.  Then, go for a walk.  Soon, you will notice an uncomfortable ache in your forearms.  This will soon be followed by burning pain.  This is a sign that your forearm flexors and all the small gripping muscles are getting a good workout.  See how far you can go without stopping to set the weights down.  Rest for a minute.  Then, pick them up and go back.

Plate Pinch

Grab a couple of nice smooth metal plates of equal size.  Place them together so that they're inclined to slide easily.  Now grip them with your fingers and thumb.  Then, lift edgewise and hold.  It will require great effort from your grip to hold them.  Do ten on each side.
