  • I Used A Hand Gripper Everyday For 30 Days And Grew HUGE Forearms. All I did was squeeze 10-20 times each hand for multiple sets a day and grew these bad boys around half of an inch over a month. Very simple but effective training if you have never had direct forearm training.

    Hello John Atallah!
    This is GD, the developer and manufacturer of GD IRON GRIP.
    We were greatly impressed by your video.
    We sincerely appreciate your efforts over the past 30 days.
    Your video is incredibly helpful and provides essential information for our customers.
    Many people don't believe that they can increase their arm size through grip exercises with hand grip strengtheners.
    However, thanks to your video, many people now realize how effective hand grip strengtheners can be.
    GD believes that there is no equipment as effective as hand gripper for improving grip and forearm strength.
    That's why we develop and manufacture a variety of premium hand grippers.
    Thank you for using GD IRON GRIP and I hope you become stronger every day!
    Thank you so much!

    i do dedicated training for my forearms and hands with a rice bucket workout everyday. after the first couple months I not only had bigger forearms and hands, but i had eliminated pain from carpal tunnel and was able to lift all types of objects (i move a lot of furniture and landscaping stuff) with a lot more power. it makes total sense because your hands are the connection point with everything and having more power in fingers in hands is the best thing i ever did for my strength. thanks for recommending the gripper because i can't bring a five gallon bucket of rice with me everywhere i go.

    I built a forearm wrist roll years ago and leave it at the gym and use it every other day 3 sets to failure with a 30lb plate on it. Have had at least 10 sets or exercisers including the one you have there and eventually busted the springs on them all and on my second set of the ones you show. They are by far the best! Do reverse curls every other workout also to failure. I have grown my forearms and have become vascular beyond anything I ever envied on other lifters. Forearms will grow if you use hand exercisers everyday and beat the hell out of them in the gym! Worth every rep imho! I have had more then a few guys ask me how to train forearms and after telling them I have NEVER seen one of them follow it and stay with it! Don't want it bad enough I guess.

      Check out Alex Leonidas' video on forearm development. He says that for him, weighted pullup specialization is responsible for the bulk of his forearm gains. I have been combining weighted pullups on a thick bar, as well as grippers and expand-your-hand rubber bands (for extensor work and muscular balance). I hope to report back in a couple of months that my forearms grew considerably.

    As far as total hand health goes, I would suggest that along with using grippers that you also not neglect your extensors (the muscles that open your hands). Iron Mind has small bands that you can put around your fingers and then open your hand(s) against this resistance. Again, this helps with overall hand health.

      @313ification Před 19 dny

      That is not 100% true.
      Muscles and how much rest they need varies a lot on which muscles they are. Muscles in the body which are used very often and almost all the time, even very lightly, calves are a good example, dont need that much time to recover. The 2nd point is the size. If a muscle is small, like the muscles in your forearms and calves, they dont need that much time to recover as e.g. thigh muscles.
      You could also say muscles that are used very often and light, are small, but thats not the point.
      Im not saying youre wrong but 1 day rest is the max of what i would take as a break
      Btw im using a 250lbs gripper for over 1,5 years now. The more i trained, like everyday, the better i got. Everytime i took a break even just more than 1 day, more days or just a week bc i was on vacation i became worser at it. High intensity training on highly used muscles is essential for success.

    If you don't have experience with grippers, I wouldn't recommend doing a 30 day challenge. Your tendons take much longer than muscles to adapt, and you can really easily burn yourself out if you go too hard too quickly. Tendons are a marathon, not a race.

    I've been training with Heavy Grip brand grippers for a relatively long time, but I'm now finding it difficult to make any further progress. I can close the Heavy Grip 250 LB completely 5 times and that's where I reach my limits. I have to take a break for 2 or 3 days afterwards to recover. I wanted to buy a Captain of Crush, but as it's hard to tell which of them I could close and which I couldn't, I decided to order the GD IRON GRIP 90, which is easy to order here in Germany. Will see!

  • @FLYSKY1
    @FLYSKY1 Před 10 měsíci +1

    With these things you really can get better grip strength but the question is how you use these things. So you can push slowly and hold for a longer amount, or make more reps, both will increase grip strength but also how you hold this is important. If your wrist is straight to your forearm, it is easier. If you change the angle of your wrist, like you do in a false grip, than it gets harder and put more pressure on the inside muscle of your forearm as you already contract the muscle while you are doing a false grip.
    But as for forearms goes, it is really hard to over train these muscles why you can hit them with a high frequency, so you can do as many reps you want and do a few sets each day or you can do a few sets in the morning, than over the day a few and than also at evening. I often do about 3 x 60 reps, later on about 3x40 - 50 and at the end again 3x30 reps and that's enough for me. Everybody should find their own amount of reps and sets that is achievable but still challenging.
