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.

People started looking at me funny when I enter my gym with a bucket with rice 😂

[@olirhys2992]

Try dry pasta instead

[@Wolf-es1el]

😂 imagine

[@glennhonestly6600]

Tell them you want to make fried rice

[@exkalina]

@@olirhys2992 lol🤣

[@cimarronMC]

My gym doesn't even allow food in it XD, well I'm sure they would be cool with protein bars. But a bowl of rice they'd probably arrest me XD

[@TTundra__]

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

[@joaquinabeldejesuscastillo6973]

Men you make ma day 🤣

[@ibrahimibm5338]

Our mothers (in india) wash cloths everyday!

[@anthonynorcal3616]

Rofl 🤣 yeah in prison when I washed my clothes in the sink my forearms got a good ass workout

[@hoop6988]

No joke bro that shit almost killed me.

[@HHHavenn]

@@joaquinabeldejesuscastillo6973 Jesus? is that you? (jk)

[@miperritopinon]

Short & sweet! Thnx for getting straight to the point.

[@Glocktopus03]

Got deadlifts tomorrow definitely gonna try this after ! Thanks for the tips keep em coming love this channel 😎

[@ds7900]

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.

[@Emmety76]

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!

[@mbdesign218]

Needed this thanks!

[@raulrochalopez5931]

Been suffering grip strenght for deadlifts; gonna try this for sure!!! Great content as always Jake 💪

[@HarpreetSingh-wz8yw]

Love it!. Towel Idea Awesome. Plate gripping great. Thank You.

[@cryptomillionnaire135]

thank you for valuing our time

[@manoogianation]

I'm impressed, these are some great ideas.

[@umutdemi9519]

1:40 I never thought that squishing rice makes me better in bodybuilding. Also never thought it is a dynamic drill.

[@FitnessCulture]

Technically any exercise moving is dynamic.

[@comanchedase]

Boxing old timers exercise

[@madjackgamingandfitness498]

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

[@salvadorgrajeda3483]

1:40 Asians left the servers

[@nickrobert1765]

Could you do a video on your favorite conditioning workouts?

[@rob0674]

Hang exercises really are amazing for me

[@alexpinto4338]

Can you cover the best exercises for every body part? And explain more about rep ranges. Thank you for the amazing vidoes. Best chanel on youtube

[@sparkscommunication6430]

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!

[@flipmanonline]

How are your pull ups doing buddy?

[@sirgrifoog6461]

I had a method for more reps so do 5 in morning 5 middle and then another 5 at end

[@sirgrifoog6461]

For since you will train your mind that you can do more than you really can you get me

[@ZaediusRA1000]

So few channels have such good quality info that's so straight to the point.

[@lildvdboss93]

If you could cover your fav way to lean out / fat burning techniques, that would be awesome! :)

[@285runt]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@CoachAgung1]

Could u do a video on rope climbs and the decending phase of rope climbs??

[@shevanthaabeyasekera1943]

Man it would be nice to show some Sandbag stuff!!! maybe a full workout using a sandbag

[@scrillthebeast2066]

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

[@danielllorens8866]

Bruh what? 😂😂😂This sounds like some ancient martial arts initiation trial or something. I mean it probably works, just thought it was funny

[@azyle2104]

Nice way to break your hand lol

[@mariosargiropoulos1715]

Do you mean punching it? I’m not sure how that could help grip strength. Yes it will toughen your hands but I don’t think the injury risk is worth it. Punching anything without proper technique is a sure way to injury.

[@connectionpoints930]

Wait until brother finds out that your grip strength is in your forearms

[@gixxerboy555]

I'm just started to train bicepcurls with a kettlebell with a short towell.(and I combine that with my CoC grippers and barbellplate holdings...).looks like especially my forearms are gonna be massive... I love it..just have to increase with heavier kettlebells.. :)

[@23snacKs]

Coc grippers lol

[@johnscards4633]

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

[@kirayoshikage2657]

Soaking a cloth and then squeezing it multiple times works wonders also

[@showa546]

I'm washing clothes with my hands. That's the best workout.

[@unknowncrazy15]

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

[@Enzo-ey6ds]

Can you guys do a knee health video? Possibly cover warmup/foam rolling and strengthening exercises to help avoid/minimize risk of knee pain?

[@yanabi83]

Never use a foam roller on joints or bone. Muscle only. Don't use it on knees.

[@Enzo-ey6ds]

right, i'm referring to foam rolling muscles surrounding the knee to alleviate tightness that causes imbalances and increases risk of injury, as well as mobility and strengthening exercises to increase stability and reduce risk of injury.

[@cimarronMC]

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,

[@Javier-vi6db]

Same 😩

[@bassinblue]

A guy at my work genuinely has some silverback gorilla type of grip and inspired me to look for this information xD

[@francismarion4450]

This here video guaranteed to make the Silverback blush. LOL

[@bernabex2]

i dont have that much rice what can i do instead

[@christopherwood4861]

Could you do more function fitness

[@mrolafdotcom]

Should these exercises be done daily? Or should you stagger days to recover?

[@willl7134]

do it 1-2x a week. Muscles will need at least 48-72 hours to recover sufficiently before reworking that muscle.

[@proathletetraining7865]

Hey jake, for a baseball player, does doing power lifts right away in my program make me weaker?

[@thousandthreads3842]

Yea I’m stuck deadlifting 385 I know I can do a lot more but my grip is shit lol

[@alwaysthisnicknames]

i am having a different problem. my grip strength seems to be alright, but the bones in my hand start to hurt quite fast. anyone knows why? i don't have problems with other bones in my body, just with be bones in my hand. the problem also appears when i do lat pulldowns or rows. very strange.

[@niazqayyum1828]

You have weka joints

[@thefacegood9909]

alwaysthisnicknames same here. It’s like my fingers get sore lol

[@billyhorton5779]

Bad case of candyass!

[@adonygrapes]

Hi people

[@maartos]

So he makes these towel things in the gym?😂 but the idea is great, just without the tape i suppose

[@truebezzy12]

“If you ever played college football” Basically none of us since we’re here

[@ClutchClick]

I always thought it was better with a bucket of sand

[@stayhardHAHAH]

Trying to crush my friends hands

[@jonathanborg6242]

Yeah but can you sleep vertically while gripping the cracks in the wall? No? CASUAL!

[@l75rd83]

Or you could just buy the grip things

[@zippyman818]

*WEAR GLOVES* and you can get a good hold on a regular plate. Not everyone can start with the big bumper plates!

[@justing41]

Put the top on a bucket of compound and take it off ten times... talk about real world training that works!

[@francismarion4450]

"We don't want to burn out our grip before training". LOL Carpenters and masons been developing hand strength for longer than this bs. "Squeeze the rice" LMAO

[@mariosargiropoulos1715]

He’s showing exercises that increase grip strength. The bucket of rice is very popular with athletes and has been for a long time. So I’m not sure what the “LOL” is about. Did he say there weren’t jobs that increase grip strength? No. Obviously if one is watching this video and has a weak grip, they don’t have those jobs.

[@Anurag02357]

Fact : no one knows how the grip increses

[@adams5507]

i dident know statements were facts :D

[@mariosargiropoulos1715]

Grip strength increases by working your grip strength. Same as everything else.

[@SublimeResolve]

Most inconvenient exercises wtf 🤣
