Excellent post . To the point . Glad I didn’t buy the rolling thunder . I got some jijumufu grippers,fat grips , ball grips and pinch blocks . I’m hoping to get some of the local high school wrestlers and football players Into a grip strength. I wish someone introduced me to This stuff when I was a kid .
Spot on with the grippers comments. Exactly what got me into the sport. I still collect them but now it’s the “limited edition” or the vintage ones. I personally think grip sport is on fire. Becoming more popular daily. At the current rate, where do you see the sport in 3-5 years?
Best wishes to you and yours! I'd like to hear your opinion on the 'natural limit' in terms of muscle development, strength gain and grip strength. I would assume IF there is a limit you'd first hit the muscle development limit, then strength and maybe grip can be improved up until your 60s?
I think kettlebell gave me the kind of hand strength I wanted versus grippers. With grippers I had concerns about injuring my hands at the highest level of the sport and eventually used histroical fencing and lately I added gymnast rings for my grip work (which is doing wonders for my entire body but especially upper body).
+1 on Rolling Thunder. It was pioneering but there is better. I got mine from the guy hand making them from his garage in Oregon around eight years ago and they are amazing. He also sold a one penny pinch that was great and replica of old strongman bell with a hole for adding desired weights.
I'd like to see grip guys get into german longsword because the work it does on the hands and forearms is great for me. With the extended center of gravity of a german long sword I can turn and swing the sword in ways that activates a lot of difficult to active muscle strands and when performing the traditional strikes the whole body is utilized in the art and is a fine exercise even for home gyms.
If you’re starting out right with grippers I would recommend buying from Cannon PowerWorks and buy calibrated grippers from the start not all grippers are created equal good luck
Oh and I wish you would do some stuff with Persian Meels. I have two pairs right now (at 7 pounds and 14 pounds each) and I enjoy them a lot. I usually only do swings for certain rep counts, 20 or 30 feels comfortable but sometimes I give myself higher goals like as much as I can for a song plays.
Happy Hollidays Jedd to you and your family and friends first of all! Mb someone curious about this question too: You're training lots of different grip stuff for ages, so what can you now said about conditions of people tandons, on your example, or your buddy's who seriously train grip stuff for about 10-20-30 years. How age perform on productivity of training, what meal differences comes with ages to keep tendons and joints in good conditions, how realy decreases the time ranges from one pr to another on a same device. Or! mb there is no matter how old are u for a grip training: teen, 20, 30, 40 years young...just find best individual schedule and if you starts on your 40th birthday all will go smooth? What can you say? Thanks for the answer!
It's supposed to be for static open hand grip strength, against rotation, to train for the Inch Dumbbell, but it's the shittiest rolling Handle on the market. It sucks. But something else, like the Napalm's Nightmare and the One Hand Nightmare instead
To be honest, I'd rather hear you make **** up, but: 1) Do you play an instrument? If not, what would you want to play? 2) In grip sport, would it be more fair to compare athletes "pound for pound" by body weight, or "inch for inch" by hand size? (Inch for inch just sounds wrong, already) 3) What's your favorite color? 4) If there where only 3 lifts, or feats to test someone's overall grip strength - what would they be? 5) Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?
OK, imagine you're poorman with only six HG grippers - 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350. I know that you're proponent of small incremental jumps but is there any sense to progress with such a jumps? HG 350 is around #3 and #3,5 CoC so perhaps it is not so impossible. I see lot of random guys on TH-cam with only few grippers and they're repping HG 350. My hope it is not stricly programming question. #31DaysOfQnA2022
Are you aware of a genetic limit to what a human can do? For example, people like "the human vise" Mr. Povilaitis is in my mind up there what a human can do - unreachable strength for 99,99999% of people. Where is the stop for a normal person, male like 180-250 pounds, in terms of grip strength? Is there a difference in effficiency of training or is it down to genetic lottery, once a human gets up there with people as good as you? I can't imagine a male with size 8 hands beeing on par with a man with size 12 hands.
@@gripstrength Thank you for taking the time to answer. To be honest, I just chose what the biggest measurment was. I though about the leverage a size 12 hand could produce would be bigger than a size 8. Maybe the longer thumb brings the advantage ;) No, I'm not aware of any person with size 12 hands. Does handsize matter at all? Gives me hope that one day I'll reach my goal of 1:1 bodyweight to gripstrength and then beyond.
@@gripstrength thank you. I shall check them out. The ratio (made up by me) specifies beeing able to put out the same amout of grip strenght as your own body weight. Just as a first major goal for me personally. Maybe 2 times bodyweight is doable but 3 times? For example weighing 250 lb having 1:1 grip strength ratio means beeing able to close a rated 250 lb gripper. I wonder if Brian Shaw could reach this ratio.
Question for the 31 days of QnA, What event or lift in grip competition would you like to see more of?

Also
I’m working my way through your posts .
Question can I over train grip ?
My thinking is just listen to your body .
Interesting, I have built a few custom grippers but didn't realize there was such a collectable market for those.
You build them, they will sell, as long as you're talking torsion spring grippers
I think kettlebell gave me the kind of hand strength I wanted versus grippers. With grippers I had concerns about injuring my hands at the highest level of the sport and eventually used histroical fencing and lately I added gymnast rings for my grip work (which is doing wonders for my entire body but especially upper body).
Cool my man
I am finding a lot of grip benefit using aerial yoga silk ropes hanging from a decent height but for squeezing and all sorts of body weight motions.
I'm sure that training will strengthen the hands very well

There's a lot to this one. I'll address the age part in a video.
Great information. Anyone want to buy my old Titans Telegraph?

Just wondering what the rolling thunder is good for outside of armwrestling training support grip strength?

@@gripstrength right on thanks for the reply I've yet to train on one but seems similar to the dynamics of the wrist wrench wich I use for deadlifts
No comparison to the wrist wrench. WW is way way harder.
I hope you mean you train it for grip strength, and not deadlift strength.
@@gripstrength yes I train it specifically for grip strength and not for deadlift training

HI jED I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE 2 HANDED WRIST WRENCH FROM ARM ASSASIN I REALLY LIKE IT WONDERING YOUR THOUGHTS AND WHAT KIND OF #S YOU GET ON IT.
I've gained on it like once. What was the reason you got it?
any suggestions on how to increase euro pinch?
I mean, I have a whole DVD on that.

@@gripstrength Thank you for taking the time to answer. To be honest, I just chose what the biggest measurment was. I though about the leverage a size 12 hand could produce would be bigger than a size 8. Maybe the longer thumb brings the advantage ;)
No, I'm not aware of any person with size 12 hands. Does handsize matter at all?
Gives me hope that one day I'll reach my goal of 1:1 bodyweight to gripstrength and then beyond.
I have a couple videos up on hand size already. It definitely matters.
What exactly do you mean by 1:1 grip strength ratio?
@@gripstrength thank you. I shall check them out.
The ratio (made up by me) specifies beeing able to put out the same amout of grip strenght as your own body weight. Just as a first major goal for me personally.

For example weighing 250 lb having 1:1 grip strength ratio means beeing able to close a rated 250 lb gripper. I wonder if Brian Shaw could reach this ratio.
You know no one has ever closed a 250# gripper, right?
