How do I improve my grip strength? I'm currently doing SS,

Switch to a better grip

>SS
are you dumb or fat?

for diddies hold the bar as long as you can on your last rep

when doing shit like curls rows or chins, squeeze the bar/db/whatever as hard as u can

Use correct grip, first of all

Also do static holds after deadlifts. If you're struggling with 145 then youre doing something wrong.

I guess im dumb, but the thing is I'm extremely weak. I was thinking it would be a good idea to build up a decent amount of strength before I do a lot of harder exercises.

>>38759165
Thanks anon

>>38759134
I read the other grips were worse for you in the long run. Broken thumb, bicep tears etc

>>38759116
use chalk, use mixed grip

wait, 145kg or lb?

>>38759244
Not him but where is a good place to buy chalk?

lb

My lower back is extremely weak and my flexibility is also shit. For example I have to put 5lb plates under my heels in order to squat properly

and my squat is stuck at 85 lol...

>>38759268
U can get it at schools

>>38759116

At that weight you dont need to work grip. Just deload deadlifts and work until your grip gets stronger.

I rep 315( i know not a big deal) with overhand and I also had grip problems sometimes.

If you are on some kind of split you might add hammer curls or farmer walks.

just keep at it until your grip catches up, your gains are going to be incredibly quick at this stage of your lifting career

definitely get chalk though, but you might want to hold off on mixed grip until like 225

>uni gym doesn't allow chalk
Thanks for the advice anyway

>>38759345
dont listen to this memer, switch to hook grip and never even glance at mixed grip

Do the standard overhand grip until you no longer can safely. Than switch to hook grip for your remaining sets. Hook grip will hurt your thumbs when you first start doing it but after a month or two you will get use to it. Don't even bother with over under. People use it as a crutch too often and end up with long term muscle imbalances and shit grip strength.

What's wrong with SS?

Since it's sort of on topic.

I'm missing fingers and have neural weakness in my right hand, so I can't hold on to the bar when doing deadlifts and pull ups, left hand and other muscle groups are alright. Don't hve that problem when lowering weights, but then the rest of my body barely forces.

Are there any kind of gloves that can help out?

>>38759394
Say goodbye to your thumbs.

I'd like to add to >>38759345. Keeping your grip as your limiting factor is the best thing you can do for your strength. I see way too many skellies using mixed grip and lifting with a rounded back.

>try out hook grip for DL
>get turbo calluses
>never hook grip DL again

145 kg?

>>38759220
what the fuck kind of grips are you looking at nigga

>>38759893
Any personal experience with them?

I get mixed reviews from the guys at my gym.

>>38759970
The one time I tried them, it felt like exercising on a machine, it took half of the feeling of lifting a DL out, isolating only my lower back. But they sure made holding the bar effortless, so it might be the solution for the condition in >>38759749

>>38759378
Do it anyway. Just be discrete about it. Or get the liquid chalk.

>he fell for the ss meme
Listen here, guy. I have done ss for a year and a half. It is the best program to start with. I have seen nothing but gains.

1. Buy gym chalk. Don't be cheap. You can get a pound on Amazon for <$15 that will last a long time.
2. This >>38759437. Do warmups and all you can regular grip then hook. DL is a good grip exercise.
3. Hold at end.
4. Pick up and carry plates around gym by the sides. Don't use handles.
5. You can add some grip exercises like wrist rolling, pinches, and hangs. Google it.

how old are you, also weight?
if you can go rockclimbing you'll see results in your grip and forearm strength quickly.

I am in a gym that doesn't allow chalk. I talked to them about liquid chalk and they will allow it. Just clean the bar of chalk afterwards.
