In order to improve your strength you focus on starting with a good grip strength as this is the base for many exercises and activities we do in life.
Whether you are using cables, barbells, dumbbells or rubberbands; if your grip strength is strong then you will be able manage heavier and heavier loads to help improve your prime moving muscle for that particular exercise.
The muscles that are involved in getting a stronger grip are the muscles in your hand and forearm. Therefore using wraps aren’t suggested as they take some of the load away and that won’t force your grip muscles to work nearly as hard.
Grip strength can be applied as pinching, crushing or static holding strength during an exercise to support the movement. You can test your grip strength with a measuring tool that will give you a score on how much isometric strength your hand can produce in pounds (it takes an average between both hands scores).
Here are the top three exercises for improving your grip strength:
💪 Barbbell Deadlifts.
💪 Dumbbell Farmers Walk.
💪 Kettlebell Squat Swings.
