And this is perfectly fine if you’re just looking to exercise your hand a bit – and stave off carpel tunnel – but these cheapo plastic brands aren’t going to ever build real strength. I've found through experience that the number one way to develop flexor/pronator mass or, if you're not careful, biceps tendinitis and pain, is by using a high-strain grip in a full range of motion exercise. This usually involves using high resistance with a pinch or open-hand grip.

I know some other guys who can't seem to get it right between the ears or in the gut - and to the extent that you might not have gotten the physical genetic gifts to make this a cakewalk, you'd better plan on tapping the cognitive-emotional elements to the max if you are serious about succeeding. Ironmind now has 11 different gripper options, but the core grippers are the #1, #2, #3, and #4, which range from 140 pounds of pressure to close to 365 pounds of pressure. Only 5 people in the world are documented to have closed the #4. Currently, 5 of the options are “tweeners” to help you bridge the gap from one gripper to another, like the No. 1.5 to help you go from the #1 to #2.

Wow, what a humbling experience. I thought that my grip was decent, and I couldn’t even manage to get out more than 6 reps with a comparatively easy model.At the gym, pulling heavy weight requires holding heavy weight, and wrist strength is required to stabilize a heavy bench press. Weak wrists can't push heavy loads.
