I’ve always had a decent grip,
Working in construction since I was 11 years old may have
something to do with it (thanks Dad)
But I guess it stood to me :-)
Construction work involves carrying heavy things ALL DAY…
maybe that had something to do with it…
Definitely.
Know what else construction work involves?
Carrying objects of varying size around all day… B
ut I’ll get back to you about that later…
But lets agree on one thing…
Carrying heavy things is an excellent way to
pack on muscle and develop crushing grip strength.
Arm training can not progress at all if grip
strength is not up to par…
I’ve seen people wince in pain with
forearm pain after doing a set of curls!
If your grip can’t hold a weight,
how on earth are you supposed to pack on muscle!?
You need to get a stronger grip my friend!
The limiting factor? Your forearms!
How do you increase your grip strength you ask?
-
Work on forearm/finger strength
-
Carry heavy stuff!
Trust me, your grip is one of the defining factors in your muscle building quest!
