GRIP TIPS: WAYS to Work your Grip without Working Your Grip

[@Diderpderp]

“Do your homework” *cold sweat* How does he know I’m procrastinating

[@tomk3478]

I've been trying to find more ways to incorporate grip training into my workout because I have the grip of an 8-year-old girl with nerve damage, and here you are with the perfect video. You've been doing that a lot lately. *Tom wonders about something* *Next day, Brian has video about it* Seriously, it's getting kind of creepy. ;) Never thought about gripping a kettlebell that way, though.

[@NeonBornSpartan]

You should find a way to try to use that power to figure out when a tragic event will happen and help stop it. :O

[@raymondmurillo]

Hope your health is getting better Brian. Thanks for the great content.

[@anttisilventoinen6133]

I did that newspaper thing once when I was sick and couldn't go to the gym. Had sore forearms for days. Good stuff!

[@lucas1975]

Brian your videos are helpful, funny, pure entertainment...so pleasant! Don't stop being yourself! 💪🏻😅

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I truly appreciate this Lucas, thank you so much for the positive comments brother

[@ClifRizer]

Love the paper balling exercise, I have patients after hand/elbow surgery do it all the time. Also Get a 5 pound bag or rice or popcorn pour it in a bucket and then dig your hand down into the middle and move it around for 5-15 min. surprisingly challenging. A lot of minor league baseball pitchers do it to strengthen their fingers and toughen up the skin because a blister on a finger of a pitcher is a big deal.

[@joshjohnston7388]

Go all kung fu and bury pennies or beans in the rice. Find them by touch. No peeking.

[@NeonBornSpartan]

Make sure to recycle the paper :D

[@metalphoenix09]

The newspaper tip was absolute gold, awesome video!

[@xw2542]

I remember that paper trick from an early video of yours. It’s fun but is surprisingly more difficult than anyone would think.

[@Angel_Ripoff]

Great video! Grip strength is never a bad thing to have, thanks for the tips, they are very welcome.

[@DudeitsLandon]

Perfect timing

[@rurikbrackett4575]

Your releasing a bodybuilding program on a date other then April 1st? in all honesty I look forward to it as your programs are pretty much better then 99.9% of things that you pay for. Keep being awesome man!

[@jtsmall8590]

I can't wait to embrace the suck! Brian, I wanna say Thanks for always posting videos and teaching. I have had some sleepless nights lately and I end up watching KZbin and my first stop is your channel to see if i can learn something and challenge my body in a new way.

[@dustinchestnutt4502]

Excellent video once again Brian. Thank you.

[@Moodamage]

Omg, Brian, you are one funny dude! I love your videos. Thank you!

[@WOLFtickets32]

Rice Bucket squeezes are my fav ;) Appreciate your videos brother!

[@neversate]

The weighted chin up/pull up is also a phenomenal grip builder

[@gripstrength]

During the years I was competing in strongman, these modifications are what I did about 70% of the year, and only specialized in grip events when I'd get about 6 weeks out from a contest. Works pretty well for developing grip strength, without messing up training economy. Good video, man.

[@randygentry1207]

Love your grip videos man

[@gripstrength]

@@randygentry1207 Thanks brotherrrrrr

[@UnarmoredForce]

I tried the kettlebell thing and I managed to work up to 18lbs with my thumb on the round side. The 8kg kettlebell was hard enough, so I decided to stick with that and do a couple of singles with that alongside a whole bunch of failed attempts. It was awesome, thanks Brian!

[@AtlasWork]

We can never have enough grip training videos! Awesome stuff

[@y.cortez657]

ALWAYS GREAT VIDEOS....

[@larryledeboer7801]

I like the blog swing. Plus, you are funny.

[@johnniefielder1622]

GREAT VIDEO!!! I have been inspired by y’all ever since the video of y’all and Brian Shaw doing grip stuff. I have went out and bought a plate loadable dumbbell that’s 2 3/8”. It’s pretty tough but I’m getting better. This grip training has so many things you can do. I really like the idea of carrying something around between sets.... MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT!!!!

[@stanktaint]

I said I was gonna sleep at a decent time tonight. It's 4 am. Thanks Brian

[@1985Crystal]

That news paper part cracked me up but awesome!!

[@elkemacnaughton6200]

Hey Brian. Get a grip! I know I will . Thanks for the tips.

[@xxgoosexx1164]

Great video and great advise Thanks

[@ivanzugaj793]

I knew what will be the last,since I remebered your last video about grip 😂 nice video as always

[@jeffreybuchanan8836]

9:30 Brians ASMR where he continues to yell at you.

[@eljefe5536]

Thanks mate.

[@dannywolfstrongman]

i like the paper toss

[@boom-bm1kl]

If you had to pick your top two grip exercises that work your crush/pinch grip at the same time, what would they be?

[@mjannetti7748]

Hey Brian I have bicep tendinitis and was wondering which one of these would be "safest" to do in my current state. I am on the upside of my injury but, I notice my squeeze strength is definitely not where it use to be (pre injury) and I really need it rebuilt for my deadlift.

[@fleksimir]

Great info. I would say if someone owns a strongman gym a simple welding machine should be required. You save so much money with it.

[@syedhussain481]

Hey Brian I was wondering what program you would reccomend to get back on track for an experienced lifter that took a long break. I was on a humanitarian aid mission for 6 months and with lack of proper food, sleep and no lifting, I lost a lot of mass and strength.

[@HotdogWarmer]

Somewhere Juji is holding a hub scowling while watching this video.

[@damianvoulo8162]

great video. side question where can you get empty kegs

[@cassiusgaio9524]

Tell me Brian, what is the hardest grip exercise/event that you ever done??

[@TimmyTurner421]

Do you guys have any tips on how to last longer in bed? Like I can last long enough but my core gets more tired than anything else after a while of coitus.

[@DamianBrown]

Very useful, thanks! Also kinda funny how that V-Shred chap is paying for adverts to get people to his channel, and his adverts are appearing on this video... when I imagine none of us watching this channel care for what V-Shred is offering.

[@knifetricks4373]

haha i was just tinking about grip exersizes and then saw brian alsruhe posted a video nice

[@mcrrider6881]

Looks like I am going make use of them shitty papers after all :) cheers bro BIG respect!

[@Gonzomedic1]

Great tips Brian! I just picked up some fat grips and made a grenade! Great stuff! Gotta get a blob!

[@EvoBeard]

Please, guys/girls don't stop at 4:40 and go give your respective partner some loving... Continue watching to ensure you actually work your grip strength... (TT) "Get a grip" because you literally had a baby, is NOT what he was getting at!

[@victorvioo2693]

man can you make more videos about programming? whats your opinion about westside conjugate, is louie simmons a guru of strength or should i be careful with his sayings?

[@joshjohnston7388]

I believe Brian has said before that he LOVES conjugate method. Dude never does anything vanilla though. He always ups the difficulty in some way.

[@rudyrich9817]

Caféine cocaïne pré workout squaddddddd

[@dashingszn9676]

Why is it when I do face pulls before bench press I lift more weight but I get elbow pain after

[@edbradley6815]

Uncle Nick's link is broken

[@icecold3426]

My brother uncle Nic hahaha

[@underachiever8532]

I've noticed when I work my grip especially pull ups, heavy farmers walks, deadlifts. When it gets heavier I naturally hold on by fingertips/ top crease in fingers to hold on. Is this just a sign of weak grip strength or is it normal? Thank you!

[@paultaylor107]

Hi Brian. Hope your well. Could I ask a really piss poor favour? Could you discuss Krock rows? How they work how to implement them etc. I've tried reading about them online but I'm dyslexic and struggling.. sorry dude I know this is a lame one

[@zfortyounce]

Hey man, sorry if this doesn't help with the dyslexia but: Heavy. Use a weight that would typically be a 8-10 rep max High reps. Push yourself to 20-30 reps using body english. The easiest way I have seen it described is to pull the dumbbell like you are starting a lawnmower. So basically, pull the shit out of it.

[@ToddDCLT4]

I can tell who has a strong grip at the gym just by if they rerack weights

[@ΝίνοΠούτσο-λ1η]

The Μολών Λαβέ flag on the back though 💪

[@bullbou7003]

Luckily we have thick pullup bars in my gym, 90/100 times I do pullups on them. I prefer them over the thinner bars.

[@dileep_nair]

Waiting for that free program 😍

[@gallardorsq]

We all need some friends

[@MrTubbyTony]

Unintentional newspaper ASMR

[@izftpvp822]

Thicc grips

[@dankdose2607]

T H I C C

[@LumisKnight]

La Fitness/my gym does not have kettlebells lol

[@otka4al4o]

Here's a challenge for you, Brian - suspend a keg from a pull up bar and do pull ups with your palms against the side of the keg XD

[@Dead1Eagle6]

Doesn't necessarily have to be a keg, but I like this idea. Would definitely be a different kind of challenge.

[@Seraphim_Metal_Works]

They already have a cannon ball hanging that they do pullups on.

[@NeonBornSpartan]

Would that be a grip workout or like a upper chest/shoulder workout? I feel like I would squeeze my hands against the keg, and that bringing of my hands together would come from my chest/shoulders. Maybe i'm overthinking it or not seeing the picture ;p

[@dankdose2607]

If john cena waa from the south

[@Fortress333]

Am I allowed to dunk the trash to work my vertical jump as well? :)

[@TheVoidisEternal]

Whatever it takes!

[@itsNep_]

I'll be your friend Brian

[@randygentry1207]

As a mechanic I work grip all day.....bare hand oil filters ....squeeze calipers in with large channel lock pliers....make grip your job

[@joshjohnston7388]

Former NY style pizza guy. Rolling dough balls. You take a cut piece of dough and pull it into itself until the outside is a smooth ball with a little tail. Get good, and you can do one in each hand. Couple hundred of those a day and your forearms get HUGE. Haven't done that work in a decade, and my grip is still the last thing to fail.

[@randygentry1207]

Built boats for 11yrs too....run a chop gun and cut wet fiberglas talk about gpp for grip

[@rapidjoespeed]

👍💪😀

[@Dwatthaell]

As a great big fat bastard trying to become a not great big fat bastard.. best grip workout I've found is trying to pull knee sleeves over my calves. lol But seriously, shit's brutal. 20 min of grabbing and yanking on a pair of STrong 4x...

[@lucasrufino]

We don't deserve those awesome free programs

[@Lovetheonewithin]

Lmao at flopping around like a fish

[@Mr_NB628]

Would you say Andy is a swinger?.......of weights. Lol

[@lilhazestings278]

just bought fat grips...they are hell :D

[@ChristianDurusTelamon]

That baby idea sounds great. But after seeing your grip at Brian Shaw's house, should we take your advice on grip? =p

[@thereasonabletroll68]

you are hurting Juji's feelings with saying you dont like grip training

[@gatozilla2607]

I want chains, but the chains for gym are to expensive... if i buy normal chains... is the same? Chains are chains no? XD

[@Dwatthaell]

Yep.. chains are chains.

[@NateLVBrown]

That awkward moment you realise you’re better at ‘KB-Blob Carrying’ (holding the KB sideways for time/distance) than Brian !!!! 😳 In Brian’s defence, I carry my Beast (48kg/106lb KB) ‘Baby’-style all the time at Home.... conventional, bell (upside-down), edged, flatpan, etcetera etcetera et all !!!!! 😅

[@petarpetrovic-ix3sb]

Sometimes you are talking too fast! :-)

[@IwshIcldstrtover]

Why is it that certain people just can't stand still and talk like normal? Soon as he came on the screen shouting a bunch of gibberish and swaying as he spoke, that it for me. I'll find some other way.

[@Jafmanz]

hard to listen to you, had to slow you down by 50%

[@galen367]

Those black and white jump cuts are so damn cringy
