GRIP TRAINING

I'm still playing around with my new Flip HD video camera, so below is my first attempt at making a movie complete with intro, credits, and music!

I recorded a grip training session I did this past Sunday (temperature in the SHOP = mid-30's).  I perform all kinds of grip exercises, such as farmer's walks with heavy DB's, Captains of Crush grippers, leveraging, etc.  This particular session was a bit different as I performed more traditional exercises (pushups and pullups) with a hand/grip strength focus.  For instance, instead of regular pushups, I did both knuckle and fingertip pushups.  Instead of regular pullups, I used my Eagle Loops from Ironmind.



So, here's what my sequence looked like:

CIRCUIT
Knuckle Pushups
Eagle Loop Pullups
Fingertip Pushups
Wrist Roller
Rice Bucket

For each exercise, I perform a "quality" set...meaning I don't go to complete failure but I get a good number of reps in.

Rest 30 seconds between each exercise, then 1 minute between circuits.  Complete 3 circuits.

For your viewing pleasure:
