Hey man what do you do as far as grip work? and how often? I find that to be a really limiting factor in my DL right now and I wanna do away with it in the off season.

**bigDman** · 05-31-2008, 01:40 PM

right now I dont do much for my grip because it hasnt really been a limiting factor. That is because about a year ago a fell in love with grip training. And trained grip like 3 times a week

there is a lot you can do for grip
for improving deadlift grip I recommend
Thick bar work. Any exercise can be done with a thick bar. If you dont have accesses to a thick bar wrap towels around the bar
Towel Pullups are great for the grip
you can do Double over hand barbell holds were you just lift it up a little and hold intil your grip goes out
plate pinching is also great
put two or more plates together smooth side out and pinch them together and see how long you can hold

IronLion23 · 05-31-2008, 03:43 PM

nice stuff..I'm a try the thick bar work and towel pull ups first. thanx man

**bigDman** · 05-31-2008, 06:25 PM

yea thick bar work is great. Use it on bench and it will make the regular bar feel like a twig. You can do your bent rows with it. doing thickbar holds kills the grip
Also doing your speed pulls with a thick bar or just addding a couple sets of double overhand thickbar deadlifts at the end of the workout will really help a lot
