5 areas of grip.....
pinch---your thumb strength
crush---the ability to squeeze with the hand
static---holding an object
forearm---surprise this is where the majority of the muscles are
fingers---open hand work or recovery

There's this thing in one of the gyms I go to called "the gripper". You load it up with plates and then squeeze the shit out of it with both hands or unilaterally. I usually hop on that and do a bunch of sets till I can't feel my hands or forearms anymore.

My Dad has the world record for the old fashion grip machine both right and left handed.
Question: is there a way to make a generic rolling thunder?

my plan is to hit grip once every week. 1st week will be just forearms. will do these on a cardio day inbetween my trips on the treadmill. just looking to do wrist curls and hammer curls. the next week will be a full on grip session. pinch, RT, and COC's.

I hang off of a 2.5" bar with a bit of extra weight strapped on for time. I go for about 60-90 seconds (since that is the time limit of most strongman events)
Just doin' my thing.

alright cool
right now i am doing grip on three different days, once on deadlift day, and then two on different days keeping them spaced at least one day apart. i don't have any equipment for an event day, but hopefully soon.
