Let’s be honest, how often do you consider your grip strength when training? Probably not a lot. We get it, there are way sexier things to think about, like how you’re going to smash your squat PB or what finisher you’re going to do to blow up your biceps. But, having solid grip is a simple way that you can fast-track your strength.
Think about it. We’ve all been let down by our grip before; the barbell slipping out of our hands just before locking out that deadlift, or not being able to get that extra pull-up because our hands are slipping (despite having smothered them in chalk). It doesn’t matter how strong the rest of your body is; if your hands can’t hold on, you’ll be leaving gains on the table.
