Why Weak Grip Makes You a Liability | SOFLETE

[@jzo08]

Solid advice. My grandpa would give me a $10 bill if I could keep the bill in a closed gripper for a minute when I was a kid. Good times!

Thanks for the post guys. This is phenomenal. I never really had wrist pain in the gym, but after working intense labor, suddenly my wrists hurt uncontrollably. I’d been doing the guitar version of the clenching grip, but all these others are phenomenal. Thanks!

As a bodybuilder i have weak grip but want to improve it so i can last 2 min on those pull up bars at fairs. I wanted to win that $100 😔

[@SOFLETE]

The only legitimate reason to develop grip strength is to win oversized stuffed animals.

[@BruceCinema1337]

problem is those bars rotate making it exceptionally harder

For anyone who wants to prepare for Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), work on your grip strength and endurance! If you only do one exercise for this, do farmer's carries.

[@mcinnisthemenace216]

[@strongbear3369]

Grip strength is one of, if not the most important strengths a man can have

[@deathbyfitness3917]

Good video but you missed one that a lot of people skip and that's open hand extension with a band. Iron Mind has a band extension pack or you could just use rubber bands but it will help with working the opposing muscle groups of the grip to help develop your grip to be stronger. It actually helps with elbow pain too like tennis elbow.

[@raiden490]

Seen the title and didn’t know if it was about handgrip on a gun, or weightlifting.

[@TheAncientColossus]

1. Pinch Plates width rowing, deadlift, or carry 2. Crush grip Grippers 3. Open hand Fat grips or head of dumbbell squeeze, row, dl, carry 4. Levering Rising

Team week will remind you why your grip is important. Enjoy those low carries.

[@SOFLETE]

We all pretended to carry that fat bag of rocks so we could look hard at the end.

[@AgiDaKinG]

One of my favorite ways train strength is just deadlifting, conventional overhand grip for as heavy as you can will really work your grip strength and forearms and also throwing on some Fat Gripz ton top of that will help as well. So for me since I'm going to be doing deadlifts anyway, I also put a emphasis on increasing grip strength at the same time.

[@SOFLETE]

Absolutely. The problem is that a lot of people's deadlifts get stronger than their grip, and so they supplement with straps. We recommend doing some additional grip strength work so you don't need them.

[@kristopherhilton8065]

Came across these weird rubber donut grip trainers on Amazon and they cover various grip exercises that along with a 250lb gripper have got me to be able to fully crush the 300lb without a struggle. Definitely helps when I'm doing my pull ups. I'm not a small guy so I need that grip

Not trying to be a bigot but I think the most effective way to improve your grip strength for deadlifts is to... deadlift. That and weighted chins. As long as you have a plan for progression, eat and sleep right.

[@josefigueroa1419]

[@SOFLETE]

Most everything we do is framed around folks for whom a high level of fitness directly affects their job, i.e. First Responders, LEO's, Military, Park Rangers, etc. In our experience, there are a lot of very "strong" folks out there in those jobs who can't actually use their strength in real world scenarios because their grip is a weak link.
