The MilkMan delivers

[NurseKnuckles]

My grip sucks too. I just never really focus on it. It hasn't failed me in my lifts yet, I figure the work I am doing for now i.e. DL rows, etc is doing its job...

 

[CRZA]

If you want to specifically work your grip for deadlifts, I think thick bar work is your best choice.

 

[NurseKnuckles]

Thanks CRZA!
I may invest in some of those things you can put on the bar to increase the thickness...

Yeah I would have to do the same. Using chalk has definately helped alot too.

 

[NurseKnuckles]

Actually I don't have chalk either so I guess this is the first step...

But tearing a deck of cards would make a great 11 year olds Bday party trick!

 

[Bull Hammer]

Sorry to go on but tearing cards can be a workout on its own especially when you get into tearing multiple decks for time or adding extra cards to a deck, combine it with some nail bending and it adds serious strength to grip, forearms and the upper body.
Sweat pisses off me doing this kind of training, the whole upper body is pumped to fuck.

Anyway, its time for my medicine........

I doubt anyone who has seen me would describe it as pure, but thank you, I know what you meant!

 

[NurseKnuckles]

I am getting back into it...
I have a little with Big Brothers and he is getting into a lot of fights at school so we're drilling now!

Not that I am any good, but I know the basics...

Hey that would be fine with me! I would feel like a bit of an idiot requesting the name change though.
