How Long Grip Training: 17 Months
Current Grip Training Program:
Working
each hand with different core exercises to keep things interesting. The last 2
months I have been working thickbar and RT lefty, and Grippers righty about 4-6
days a week. Also doing a greasing the groove set just about every morning. I
also have been doing a lot of wrist work to better support the increases about
3-4 days per week and pinch and short bending 1-2days per week.
Other Training Info: Most
of my other training for the last 5 months has been for weight loss. 3+ days per
week in the Gym, and 6-7 days per week doing something active like walking,
treadmill, or hiking. Other Info: I’ve lost about 40lbs in the last 5 months.
