    Hand grip exercise

    Are these any good to use? (see pic) I am not talking about building large arms with them but do they actually work your hand strength and forearms?


    Anyone use these? I bought some and have on my desk and I knock out a few sets a day (just started a few days ago).

    thanks

    Does each one increase in resistance?

    the ones that are pictures there do.. The ones I bought were cheapy ones just to try out and they don't. I have poor grip strength and I type on the PC all day so I get pains in my wrists so I thought this might help.. Did not want to waste my time though..

    thanks!!!

    The best exercise, for grip strength for deadlifts, would be static holds. Get in a squat rack and set the poles and put the barbell on the poles. Load up the barbell with more weight than you can deadlift. Stand up with barbell and hold for time. This exercise will be specific for the deadlifts and build strength-endurance in your hands. The time must be similar or greater than the time it would take for you to do a set of deadlifts.

    I would recommend looking for the Captains of Crush Grippers and performing 3 sets of maximum repetitions with each hand once a week.

    With the static holds and captains of crush grippers, you should meet you gripping goals.
