The Key to Grip Strength...

by Richard Sorin

Stimulate, not annihilate!

It seems to be a common thread on the Grip Forum that many tend to overtrain their grip with too high of work and volume loads. Remember, you are working a small muscle group for acquired strength, not endurance. In training high intensity, frequency and volume, eventual burn out is inevitable. Rest and recuperation is the missing link in the chain that many of my grip brothers are neglecting. Warm up, get to the heavy ""meat"" of the workout, then shut it down. Watch your grip strength GROW!

Happy Gripping,

You see guys making the arguement that we use those muscles everyday, all day for our entire lives...so obviously they can handle a workload. But, my thoughr usually is, that we use those muscles everyday, all day for our entire lives. You mix in some high intensity work on a regular basis and you've got a potentially volatile situation on your hands (pun intended).

Well, said Richard. Thanks for posting G.
