Grip training with DJ Shipley from GBRS Group

[@GarrettPreston]

You know, the thing that struck me most with this video, is that DJ seems to be so much happier. I haven’t watched tons of stuff with DJ, but he’s just seems somehow lighter emotionally to me, like a lot of really great healing is happening. Anyway, I could be completely wrong, but if I’m right he certainly deserves it.

[@millemaolchannel8608]

@@goodluck2522 nobody pays his bills except himself. He is a medically retired navy seal who started up and runs 2 successful business’s. DJ has made mistakes and is the first person to admit that, but he is a great man and sacrificed a lot for this country!

[@GarrettPreston]

@@goodluck2522 You know, I really don’t understand trolls. You must have such suffering in your life to go out of your way to find negative things to say about people. Does it actually make you feel better trying to pull people down to your level?

Psychedelic healing

Outstanding content 👏🏻

[@jonnyref3475]

This has been super helpful for jiujitsu. Thanks Vernon.

[@BBslider001]

I am a 2 year shooter and weapons handler, Tac Games competitor, and occasional 2-gun. None of that matters and that is my point. I am new to the GBRS Group performance. I have done CrossFit for a while to train for TTG, and they NEVER mention grip training. The key that Vernon stated is the elbow health. I have been suffering from elbow and forearm stuff on my support arm. This is excellent info! So much appreciated. I am super stoked to have found you guys

[@aw8one]

43 been in the gym consistently since high school. Just added farmer carries a few weeks ago to help with BJJ. Did not expect them dramatically improve my tennis elbow.

[@j17672]

Plate Carrie's for distance is a good way to help. I broke my right radial head. And my elbow has never felt stronger. Read my comment for form/tips. Stay strong my friend ;)

[@zacharysimmons5597]

Something that I've been using recently that has really had a positive effect on my grip strength and overall joint health are steel clubs and maces. It takes a bit of practice but I think its something that I'm going to continue playing around with forever.

[@hoffpauirconcrete.semperfidCC]

Dj is one of my favorite you tube guys idk why but i just want to absorb all he has to say

[@Goldenwithaleash]

I love single hand kettlebell farmers carry as it works my grip and core at the same time. I’ve been a gym rat for 20 years but never really trained my grip until the last few years. It’s really helped me as a pistol shooter, especially shooting thinner/lighter pistols like my edc Glock 48MOS.

[@markskorich4602]

Thank You 💪🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@nothingnewtome1]

This is why you switch and go lefty on occasion 🤙

[@SwiftyMcVeigh851]

Seriously. Go to any arm wrestling channel that show how they train for it ..honestly, they'll provide training ideas for grip strength. Thank you guys for providing all the info that you do

[@j17672]

I do grip training every day. 3 laps 45lb plates. "Hook grip" 2 laps pinch grip 25lb 1 plate each hand on both. Move your elbow very slightly behind your center line. And have a slight bend in your elbow....as long as your not straight armed...."DONT shrug" moving your elbow behind your center line is enough to flex your traps/shoulder/and scapula. The lighter your steps the more your working your forearms. Heavy steps naturally forces your shoulders to shrug via bounce. So you dont have to do it intentionally. Eliminate your thumbs from every lift Your forearms will get (Big/Shredded) Grip Carrie's into every lift. Train it all the time.

[@connor4010]

ivan densiov and valery federenko's way of teaching kettlebell utilizes grip like none other.

[@letsgobrandon4043]

Grip is extremely important I’d only say to watch out for the dumbbell holds I’ve got mild-severe basal thumb arthritis now from years of these

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Great information! Peace

[@RynTheAmerican]

Thank you

[@alexanderrowe6461]

great stuff here. especially the ulnar and radial deviation.

[@lithesteel9599]

Dj' is ripped!

[@michaelcarter8209]

Outstanding

[@onlymybest9162]

I would not want to arm wrestle DJ. Keep up the great work guys!

[@ArmyPL1981]

I love deadlifts 🇺🇸

[@jgarciahss]

I do the dumbbell grips and like that exercise. Going to try the bar one shown. I like holding out/extend at shoulder height a kettlebell with hands gripped on the the side of the handle and squeeze.

[@BADALEX1]

So old school TMA/Kung Fu grip exercises. Got it!

[@rangergrinch7924]

DJ. Curious on your opinion on strengthening the wrists. Not sure if I'm getting carpal tunnel or nerve issues but wrists are incredibly fucked for a few years. I've always done grip training and of course dips and push-ups ect but the last few years wrists have seemed to weaken. As a former SF support guy I'm doing my best to keep in shape and passed your videos. Great knowledge.

[@cruxcrashpad8394]

grip is something DJ has been preaching for a LONG time... I remember attending one of his dad's courses back in 06/07 and the emphasis on hand/forearm tendon strength was emphasized by the Team dudes there. It's something that I've worked on since... as DJ has stated, grip will go long before anything else goes.

[@johnwicksfoknpencil]

Bruce Lee had a brutal grip strength regimen. Worth observing at least. His grip strength was incredible.

[@johnwicksfoknpencil]

Grip strength is critical in real world grappling as well

[@321ssteeeeeve]

I literally do the same pull down bar exercises, both directions

[@555banzai]

I'm a climber, I would recommend anyone trying to improve grip to get into that, you don't even have to climb hard to gain the strength

[@co1urzz]

4:00 'Riser'

[@dusty7264]

Years of rock climbing, I don’t have big muscle. But it’s overall strength.

[@vernongriffith4]

its all relative!

[@hiramhaji7813]

Grip matters

[@arborist460]

I have big problems in this area and bout to see a dr about…chainsaws and pressure washing equipments jacked my wrists and hands….couldn’t pack a cardboard target other day without pain….I’m 125lb and can take a 10lb sledge to my nose fairly easy

[@DeepBlueWater]

A new tool for the tool box.

[@ironsurvival7011]

10-12lb Indian clubs are great for grip training

[@Stag15L]

with carpal tunnel in my dominant hand and a fusion on the right wrist I really need to figure out a workout routine for grip strength

[@jim-qz7up]

Any tips for someone with keinbochs disease? Right lunate shattered.

How tall are these guys?

[@jaypee389]

O spot.

Trigger discipline lacking around 3:50 Train how you fight even with a dummy gun

[@ericdebisz9458]

4:53 Triple H "had" little to no forearms or at least very unproportional to the rest of him. Probably the sauce but w.e. Genetics plays a big hand in development. Frank McGrath Canadian bodybuilder well known for his freaky forearms. He'll tell you his dad had good forearms and Frank trained them everyday.

[@heretic4763]

I find rock climbing taxes the grip and forearms in ways that is difficult to reproduce elsewhere.

[@chuckp342]

You ever deal with tennis elbow? I've lost a lot of my grip strength from a few surgeries.

[@josephhiggins9455]

Is there exercises you recommend i can add to workouts that strengthen my wrist’s as well?

[@atennant95]

Can you clarify what you guys meant by "using your thumbs" in pull ups? Do you mean grab it like a pistol with bar split between fingers and thumb; or thumb on same side of bar as fingers but hooked onto the bar?

[@jodiah5]

And THIS is why I’ve been such a fan of DJ and Cole! These guys go inside of the minutia that’s in the minutia to understand how to be better in every way. It doesn’t matter what knowledge they are transferring, it is precise and in-depth and backed up. Thank you guys and thanks Vernon.

[@fireshot5536]

Very informative.

[@WideAwakeHuman]

I think using wrist straps/belts/etc are just a bad idea if your goal is peak performance, health and injury free longevity.

[@star.soaked.wanderer]

you are not correct

[@kilibecher]

My only concern with additional grip training is that, as someone who trains 6 days a week at the gym, it negatively affects my push and pull days. I feel like my training sessions already have more than enough grip training built in without doing extra grip exercises. But maybe for someone who trains only a couple days per week it can be helpful.

[@skutterbuster666]

Talking of wrist wraps, i had to start using them after developing acute bilateral carpel tunnel syndrome, and after seeing a specialist, it turned out to be multiple stress fractures on both arms. I carried on working throughout the problem all last summer not realising i was working essentially with two fractured forearms while roofing 😆 What fixed the after pains in my hands was swinging kettlebells, although i still have weakness and pain in my wrists which leaves me having to wear wrist wraps through a full workout, which i fully admit, i cannot even get close to the same without them due to lingering pain.........the wraps eliminate a large amount of pain for myself. This might help me lose the need to wear them.

[@oldwarmonger8750]

He getting ripped as f

He’s always been like that lol

Dudes like Dj make me realize how not tough I am 😅
