I agree, the post is worth it despite the load time. I'm wondering though, why LBSS seems so vehemently against just about anything outside of bodyrecomposition.com

well, he gave lyle a big hug, on his nuts, and has yet to let go. He has a very strong grip and amazing pec/lat endurance. :P

the info on bodyrecomposition is really good i do admit compared to many supplement companies who try and push all types of junk science down our throats.. lyle keeps it pretty simple and definitely doesn't come off as a hype artist.. his information is very solid, while t-nation makes claims of 28 lb lean mass in 8 weeks using anaconda or whatever.. so alot of people (and some on here) have some pretty nasty remarks about the good ole` folks at t-nation.

ok so, briefly, im at my house with a gatlin gun (huge machine gun), and cops are surrounding my house.. so i started offing them like terminator, then i take off on foot, in a battle with them for miles.. until i reach some parking garage.. and im running out of ammo.. then i just wake up.

was pretty crazy though.

You have violent dreams.

I want two rolling thunders. Pullups off them would be fun.

2" plumbing handles, like 1$ each:

Andrew , i found some objects that i can use for pinch grip strengthening.
Best one is my ski boots , they weigh ~12lbs together and griping them together has a variable grip width choice which is good.
So , what reps and sets and style should i try?
I was thinking something like 3x10 , 1 set of 10 reps each hand for 2'' 3'' and 4'' grip , lift them from the floor , hold 3 secs on top , put it down.
Also my couch arm width is 3'' and perfectly flat , of course i cant move it but how about griping it and trying to lift it as hard as i can although it wont move? For like 3x10sec each hand?

you can pretty much do anything really.. all you want to do though is make sure week after week your holds for time are improving, and you're able to rep things more or with a little bit more weight.. similar to regular strength training of course, but with grip, there are so many muscles & they recover so fast that it's best to just have fun with it and wing it every workout..

i bet this stuff helps you palm btw :D

Ya i read it.
Im playing around right now... this thing is funny actually , trying to pinch grip various objects:
My ski boots ( 12lbs )
My skis ( 18lbs )
A 4lt water can.
Basketballs of course.
LOL , funny shit...

Thanks man , this is gonna be really useful...

haha ya man it's fun.. i got grippers/pinch stuff/thick bars/farmer's walk etc in my backyard :D i got nails somewhere but i aint messing with that no more, that shit is scary for a wimp like me.. tendons = eek.

im just posting lower first, start with that.. we're going to do an upper/lower split so we can really get some volume in.. ill post the rest later, gotta go do some training!

can you get in jumps before the workout? like at the new gym or whatever? if not replace it with some max effort SVJ's for now.. we need to jump max 2-3x/week.


don't go nuts on first day with weight, those shouldn't be 8RM's today.. back off a bit and get used to the rest periods.


CYCLE #1 GPP BLOCK: Lower A:
- WARMUP
- PREHAB:
SHOULDER + VMO + LOWBACK

- SPRINT WARMUP: build up intensity starting with 10's & 20's
- SPRINT WORK SETS: 20 yard sprints, 3x, full rest (2-3min)

- MAX EFFORT JUMPS: after warmup, about 15 minutes worth of max jumps (5 x 2 etc)
- MR TUCK JUMPS: 4 x 10, very quick gct with powerful armswing, 1 minute rest in between sets

- REA SQUAT: 4 x 3 @ 95 lb., 1 minute rest between sets
- SQUAT: (??) 3 x 8, 2 minutes rest between sets
- BARBELL OR DB 18" STEPUP: (??) 3 x 8 each leg, 2 minutes rest between sets
- BARBELL OR DB REVERSE LUNGE: (??) 3 x 8 each leg, 2 minutes rest between sets
- CALF RAISE: 4 x 5, 1 minute rest between sets, keep it moderate weight

- CORE:
- STRETCH:


peace man!

what set/rep/rest/frequency would u use for plate pinching.

grip training is a bit different than most of the body, considering there are so many muscles in there.. frequency can actually be pretty high.. folks like us though shouldn't go too high frequency on there though, that's good for the farm boys, but not basketball types, as you can get elbow/knuckle/hand tendonitis pretty easily if you're going intense.

if you're just doing pinch workouts, keep it to like 2x/week.. just spend 15-20 minutes mucking around, that's my best advice.. don't try and sets/reps it from the start because the hand/forearm/fingers just have so many muscles, they recover fast.. so just spend 15-20 minutes doing:
- holds
- reps
- etc

it's not an exact science with grip, it's more of a fun thing.. for example, mechanics / people in manual labour can have some pretty impressive grips, they just put in work every day using their hands.. diehard grip trainees alternate between pinch sessions, crush sessions, and support sessions/levering/nail bending.. they do all kinds of crazy shit, it's insane..

so seriously, just have fun with grip training and stop if you feel any weird tingling in the elbow.

here's some impressive stuff:



plate hub lift, 77 lb:

CoC #4 close: this takes like 350 lb force to close in one hand
