Mun Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I was going to take up bending this weekend for the first time, I'm going to continue working grippers but I was just curious to know if my bending improves will my gripper closing and gripwork in general improve overall as well?

Martin Gaisser Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think if your doing heavy gripper work it will probably be the other way around. After my first round of KTA my wrists were 1/2" larger. I had done bending in the past with about 4 months total training bending a best of a 6" x 1/4" Grade 8. After over a year off of not bending and a little into my second round of KTA I bent a 5" x 1/4" Grade 8 the second day I bent. I had also gained alot of upper body strength from doing powerlifting traing for about the last 5 months, but even with that theres no way my wrist's would have been strong enough without the gripper training.
