Grip


The theory I have on effective grip training is this, it is better and more effective to train grip strength in the main context of the training session than isolating it at the end of the session. My reasoning is when my grip is really needed in day to day life I am already using my entire body, so why not tie it all in together? I am not saying that extra grip should not be done but I believe the bulk should be worked during the main session utilizing deadlifts, pull-ups, kettlebells and all the other fun movements we do.

Training:
Lots of bouldering

Training:
Bench press 5x5
Goblet squats 4x8
