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.

Not boasting here, but I love that my boyfriend has big forearms like it's nearly as the same size of his upper arm and his biceps are so toned , round and so hard like when I press it my finger doesn't sink on the muscle.. it's like a rock. And he's so strong he beats most of the men in their work in arm wrestling that are older and bigger than him. Maybe he has this strength from working hard since he was a kid he used to carry logs, farming, and construction. His biceps are more toned than most men that do gym workout. One of the reasons why i love him much is that he's super strong but he doesn't have that 6 pack abs now cos he loves to eat😂

The good lord blessed me with massive forearms and hand muscles for my size. I also work with my hands all the time, but my current 5 rep max for a grip trainer is 180 lbs. I don't think that's amazing or anything, but it's definitely functional. I would like to get up to a 250 lb grip for 5 reps. I feel like that would be an insane grip compared to an average person. Now that would be a handshake lol

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!

How was the carryover to other excerises with the increases grip strength?

@john-atallah Жыл бұрын

Pretty decent. My grip strength was already good so I can't exactly tell you how much it changed. I don't use straps for many lifts unless I'm deadlifting HEAVY or doing shrugs. I would imagine if you chose a lighter weight and instead of doing reps you just squeezed it for 10 seconds or so it would have better carryover.

@FLYSKY1 7 ай бұрын

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.

hey John i’m a 16 year old and i’m not too bothered about gym work but i recently bought a hand gripper because i saw it as easy and i knew i wanted bigger forearms as mine aren’t that big😂 do you think i’d see a quick increase in size as i’m not regularly doing a lot of work or would it be a case of using it for a long consistent basis to see good results

@john-atallah Жыл бұрын

Hello Ryan! Like anything fitness related, consistency and time are one of the most important factors. You can't do something once or even 5 times then expect results. Train with the squeezer multiple times a week and slowly increase how much effort you do and they will grow :)

Grippers really blew up my forearms, however as people progress in weight they should be careful to listen to their tendons and take a few days off if you feel tendonosis (I only grip heavy 2x week to bypass it for me)
