How Long Grip Training: 3 years
Current Grip Training Program:
I focus mainly on grippers, and
generally train these at least every other day. I focus on multiple singles or
attempts and use high volume. I also pinch once a week using the euro pinch and
throw in some thick bar work now and again.
Other Training Info: I focus on the big
movements like squats, deadlifts and presses. Sticking to the basics - as
opposed to long winded routines - has always given me the best gains in size and
strength.
