FEATHER'S FOREARMS

i ditched the gloves for most exercises. needless to say i have calluses on top of calluses now ha ha. but im able to go a little heavier now than before. those gloves make my grip so weak. i dont really care if my hands get shredded. its so frustrating knowing you can do the weight, but your grip is holding you back

Hi

I use a Pro grip, which is similar to the Nike ones but instead of rubber its padded and has some gel where you would normally get calluses. Then for my heaviest set when training back i use lifting hooks as i find it helps me to concentrate on just the back without a great amount of bicep help. The hooks work perfect for deadlift, one arm rows, chin ups and trap training. A dowel strap is also quite nice as it provides abit of protection.

What I like to do is keep my thumbs on the same side as all my other fingers when doing barbells and dumbells. Try it out. Found my grip, and forearms get a nice work at the same time.
