Am I the only one legit impressed by Bromley’s drawing skills?

A few years ago I did farmers walks with water filled five gallon buckets for up to one mile at a time for about 6 months. I’d do this two or three times per week and my back, shoulders, triceps, and forearms have never been so developed. I absolutely believe long farmers carries are among the top tier of conditioning, back building, and grip developing exercises.

It’s incredibly respectable that he posts the important information for everyone for free and only charges for the extra stuff that people want to see, rather than the other way around. Love the vids broski

Anthony Fuhrman did CoC holds for time as well. Close the gripper with both hands, remove helping hand from equation and then hold it closed for time. Once you consistently get around 45 seconds, it's time to level up.

Fantastic video Bromley, I've been browsing the internet for a full on comprehensive guide to grip strength and it's different aspects - you hit the nail on its head, much appreciated!

Thank you, as a person who’s major lifts are limited by their grip strength this is really helpful

Alex, you are a well of tested information in the area of strength training and it is evident that you are giving your very best at roundly presenting it. Keep up the good work!

Love your breakdowns! Thanks for sharing such great knowledge!

Great video! Good breakdown of a fun type of training that is often overlooked.

Great timing, I was literally just thinking about how I need to improve my grip strength. I decided to add holds and plate pinches after deadlifting since those seem the most relevant to DOH and hook grip strength. My gym has a wrist roller and fat grips though so I might give those a try!

I love grip training now. I got a bunch of implements and have been having a lot of fun. The Rogue Anvil has been my favorite since it feels like an old time strongman feat.

The last weeks I started training my holding strength by holding a barbell for 30 seconds at a time. The setup with the bar behind me at hip height worked best so far. I hope this helps my grip on deadlifts.

Thank you for this video! Good presenter 🙂

Very helpful video, as always. Thank you !

How could someone NOT subscribe. Best strength training content on YT

great video man.

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Sir, I salute you. (subbed)

Subscribed for the challenge, looking forward to it!

This video is so good

Very informative and very well explained.

I can confirm, I have not dropped a deadlift since I watched this 4 months ago and my deadlift has somehow gone up 20kg in that time Deadhangs, weighted carries, reverse curls and hand grippers have added over an inch to my forearms in 4 months (I didn’t train forearms separately before so I think it’s localised newbie gains in that area). Good job Bromley Heres a tip for forearm growth, if you have a frame to do pull-ups or deadhangs on in a gym, use the wider , supporting bar with no etching you aren’t supposed to use. It really helps isolate your grip more

Thanks for sharing your expertise

thank you for this! 😀 i am hitting a plateau here in grip strength, using flexion and extension. now its all making sense. time to start crushing and doing farmer walks.

good recap, nice to see it together

Excellent overview!!

Thanks for making this! If I ever actually train grip which seems unlikely at this point but I really mean to someday I'll save this.

Great video man!

That 100k will come sooner than you think, the quality of these videos is all but going to guarantee it. Thanks for making these!

the moment i saw the detailed hand drawing im already subbing cuz i know you're gonna be detailed in explaining too

Great video. Also, great illustrations!

I have a titans fitness rickshaw that I use for farmers walks and rows. I do the rows with fat grips on. Eventually going to start using the fat grips on the walks as well but grip has been my lagging strength forever. These tips have reminded me of different tools I should be implementing. Thank you.

Thanks man huge help

Lol literally was just talking to my highland games coach this morning about improving my grip and his number one was CoC grippers and fat grips for the basics without getting too much specific equipment. He does arm lifting so it’s good to hear you guys are in line with recommendations

Thanks for information. Great video thanks !!!!!

Good video. Lots of great information.

Great vid! Thank you!

Another great video from Bromley! I use regulary farmers walks, hangs, variety of crushing exercises and I enjoy the benefits of this routine on pullup bar and in the numbers of plates on the bar! But few years ago I had elbow pain during the workouts! The prehab routine with the wrist roller and pronation/supination exercises was the quick way to eliminate the pain.

Much appreciated! Thanks!

thank you for the tips.

Awesome video, thank you sir!

Those hands are really well done,you have talent for drawing

I just followed yay. ❤

I like to practise my pinching strength by grabbing heavy 15kg-20kg with one hand and carrying it around for my regular gym workout. Overtime my pinch strength has built up to the point that I can drive my car by pinching the steering wheel between my fingers while steering as if I would normally holding it (obviously not when there’s heavy traffic around).

I absolutely love grip strength.

pinch gripping is very helpful working with sheet metal.

Almost lol-ed when you said "Towel work". I'm reminded of Douglas Adams - the Hitchhiker's guide. His most essential travel tool - A towel. Haha.

I like the Heavy Grips, they are smaller gap and works well for smaller hands. I do have CoC 1 and 2, used to be able to close the 2 but lost down to just a 1 from arthritis. Trying to work back up.

Good drawing and content❤

Another supporting strength exercise I like is doing chins using a towel. There are tons of accessories you can buy in place of a towel that hang down from the bar you grip on like grenades, smooth sticks, smooth wooden ball, etc.

great content

Needed this for so long! My grip is weak as a baby and nothing seemed to improve it

thanks !

Great way .

My weight is only 60kg and l am practicing with 350LB grip for few days and now l am nearly able to close it and hope completely close it very soon..l learned a lot through this video.Thanks.

Thanks!

One simple way to work grip and forearms is to get a towel soaking wet, and just wring out all the water over and over and over until your forearms are on fire. Sometimes I'll pull up a chair and do this over the bathtub for a few sets, 5-10 minutes at most. Crazy effective. [edit: ah i see you mention this in the middle of the vid. guess it pays to watch to the end!]

As a welder who works with 1” steel plate almost everyday on rail cars…pinch grip is very important to work on. Luckily I train it at work picking up plates

Great content for BJJ guys. 👍🥋

I've been using the rubber flex bar heavy duty, twisting and turning it like I'm ringing out a wet towel and getting great results on definition and size

This guy is a literal firehose of knowledge!

very i formative ty

Rolling heavy material in your hands like denim or if available to you a old Gi just the jacket or canvas and of course a towel works wonders. Thanks for the Vid my Bro 🖖🏽

You can also squeeze a bottle of water using isometrics. Also working your fingers with extensions help too.

Great video, I've subbed. What are your thoughts on barbell finger rolls? (lift BB out of the rack as if you're going to RDL, letting it roll out to the ends of your fingers, then closing your hand to roll it back up).

Really informative. I’ve historically had horrible hand strength and forearm size. To the point of embarrassment. I’ve been working on it. Thank you.

you appeared on my feed randomly but I'm a climber and I definitely like seeing this point of view for grip strength

Really helpful, but i think I'll need increments between the increments. Doing a few reps on #CoC2 but CoC#2.5 feels like a beast.

What would you say is the fastest & best way to get grip strength up in order to crush a dynamometer test?

My grip is definitely in huge need of strength gaining. Can't do lat pull downs or rows without forearms burning out before my back is even sore. Definitely will look into some of these products.

One thing I do passively is just keep a gripper in my cars console. Every trip to work or car ride I’m always grip training.

Subscribed!

Lots of grip training and a career of grip related jobs while young,,, lots of carple tunnel and over use syndrome pain and problems now old . But multiple bone breaks too that contribute . Thanks for some of this stuff i can use for therapy

I bought your book - BASE Strength. Absolutely love your content Bromley, was wondering if there was a way to pay an amount to get a conversation in for you to evaluate my deadlift ?

I use a Senshi 150kg, grip strengthener. And I've used it for a year now. I do wrist curls 4 x 10, and then 4 x 10 grip strengthener compressions. For my forearm workout straight after bicep, triceps and shoulders training. I got hypertrophy, however I can now also, hang from a pull-up bar for longer!

GHP grip trainers are worth checking out in favor of or in addition to CoC. I like the sweep and the knurling a lot more.

Rock Climbing !

My crush strength isn’t the greatest but it’s good I won’t use coc’a to often due to extended hand and forearm pain when I do and it affects strength training. Dead hangs,hex holds,DOH on dl warmups,extended dl holds have been the best for my dl grip. No problems over 600 ever. I also rarely ever use straps except heavy rack pulls and very heavy bb rows only. Rolling thunder was a big help early on don’t use it as much. But even with a great supp grip now I still train it at least once a week. Sometimes pinch work as well but not too often. Great video! Edit:farmers carries,fat bar work and fat grips on the dB rows. Mind you I don’t use all of this all the time it’s all sporadically used. But hangs,DOH,and extended holds are every week. Also try concentrating on squeezing your pinky as hard as possible on all your work the rest of the hand automatically follows and helps overall.

I needed this video. Had to cut back day short yesterday because the bar kept slipping through my fingers

I have weak forearm extension and poor gripping capability, but most importantly, it's uneven between my two arms. My dominant arm can do 1.5x the amount of reps my non-dominant can. I have trouble doing exercises like reverse grip bicep curls or hold on to a bar (for pullups) even in a simple exercise like lat pulldowns. I had trained for a month or so specifically my forearms with progressive overload for extension and flexion, stopped for about a year or so and started again about a month ago, but it's been more like 1 or 2 times a week, after the main workout is over. Despite my efforts, I haven't seen much of any changes in endurance and strength when it comes to extending my forearm or holding thicker bars for long periods of time. Just to mention that all my lifts and exercises were and are done strapless, for obvious reasons. Any tips?

The beam deadlift at my first strongman comp was the first event and afterward my forearms were on fire for the rest of the day , it was humbling because we only got up to 7 dimes on each side when most us were failing to lift it.

Bromley I’m absolutely loving your content! By far my favorite strength related KZfaq channel. Rooting for you to reach 100k soon. Unrelated, but I’d love to know your thoughts on kettlebell training. Are there any particular benefits to kettlebells that us barbell enthusiasts are missing out on? Is the juice worth the squeeze, or is it just another matter of “making it work”?

Makes sense.

What about an electric grip calculator where you can see if you are getting stronger week to week or month to month? ☺️

10:03 nice DIY grip strength tool, thanks

You can simulate hangs by choosing a gripper that us tough but you can close it, then squeeze and hold it closed for as long as you can then over time increase the duration.

🔥

One thing you didn't mention that I learned off Squat University is one hand static deadlifts. Hold for 10-20 seconds, doesn't need to be that heavy. I've been doing it on the Smith machine to get that isolation.

Another great video! Pavel, my son loves theusic in this video, can you tell us the band?

Good drawer

How would you program each of these implements throughout a training week? Would it be certain days of support, crsuh etc? Would you just tack this to the beginning or end of a workout and progress it from there? Lastly would you progress these like you would progress a compound lift or treat it more as an accessory lift?

7:57 James Fuller wants to enter the chat

I recommend The Ivanko Super Gripper

What is a good way to improve grip strength for deadlifts allowing for recovery before lifting?

I have Robert Barabans adjustable gripper. I comes with two springs. It goes from light, to inhuman, so you got a gripper lasting you a lifetime! I bought the CoC 1, but paying 100 usd for an adjustable like iI mentioned is much cheaper than buying every increment of CoC!

What about wrist rollers? And what do you think about recovery? I find that extra grip strength fries my nerveous system and I immediately get overtraining symptoms.

Coming from climbing this is an interesting video

The hand drawings are pretty good for an erase board

Sheetmetal snips and working on cars for years has me at the highest grip strength within the whole company.

I have a gyro ball.. may not be ideal for shear grip strength but it will def train your endurance
