Halo, do you do anything other than hang onto heavy shit to get that grip going. I still want to do the hook grip so I can protect my bicep. Wondering if you do anything different. I need to start doing plate pinches but I do hex DB holds. They seem to work, but one can always work his/her grip more.

I'm beginning to think that the only reason he can hang on to such heavy shit is stubbornness.

That....and he is a chronic masturbator. His wife removed all the mirrors in the house. He walks around the house and catches a glimpse of his "silverback" gorilla physique and he can't but help to touch himself. LOL.

I really have to say that I started squeezing some of the plastic handled grip dealies while I was at work then I got some of the heavy 250's or so alluminum handled ones from Elite. Not 100% sure if they are what did it but I didn't have a fucking grip to speak of 9 months ago, I used straps on anything above 500lbs it's madness that I'm doing what I'm doing it makes no sense to me. I did some of that plate work but honestly for me it seemed to be hurting my grip. I wish I had a better answer for the freakish grip that I have I don't understand it.

This could be a huge part of it as well as not being so smart LOL....

Benny, the workouts are three times a week at about two hours per but I'm in a large group so it doesn't equate to the quantities I was doing last year.
