Why Do You Do Work Your Grip?

[Digdogz]

I work grip because:

1, I want to shut the next hardest gripper!

2, I want to pinch more and more weight!

3, I have a fear of one day falling from a bridge, cliff etc. and then what will I rely on to save my skinny ass!

As someone said, I too really look forward to it! My job takes me all round the country on irregular hours and there be one constant in my life....grip training.

It's fun.

Same reason I train, period.

The challenge. The goals. It's all "stimulatingly fun".

Is this a reference to the bridge seen in the movie, "The Lost Boys"?

Could be...

I was thinking more 'Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom' when the bridge collapses and at that moment you'd want to know you've got grip

I do it because I compete in Strongman as a Pro. You can't have a grip weakness at a show where we're doing a 365 Farmers, or a Hercules hold with two SUV's (finals at Nats in St Louis 2003 - that was very heavy). My grip used to suck & those events killed me, now I'm middle of the pack. Love my Ivanko super gripper for timed holds - 5 sets of 5 (10 sec) in the truck on the way to work or town. Thick bar stuff, pinching, hub lifting, grippers, all of it, now bending, too.

I want to improve my grip for lifting. It's definately holding me back. Someone also made a good point about your forearms always being on display. That too.

No doubt about any of that.

Tommy,

My e-mail and computer are acting up. I can't watch any movies or e-mail. My e-mail at work should still be ok..........anyway.........I'm trying to get the bunch of us in VA and surounding area together for a "grip together" thought I came up with that but by reading old posts guess I didn't. Can you join us? I saw your 2 finger 45 pinch, though my 2 finger 35 was good till I saw that. Ironmind should have you and Magnus listed soon, I was tired of waiting and asked.

Guess my officer and gentleman reference was either too dumb or no one caught it. I really don't know why........I just like it!!!!!!!!!
