No, he doesn't. Grip strength is not the limiting factor right now.

Also, deadlifting with a straight bar for heavy singles won't work his grip strength? :usure:

Heavy singles and any other pull work def does but i figured i should do some more accessory work on my forearms/grip anyway :patrice:

Just gotta determine why you want that extra grip above and beyond what lifting will give you.

Just my .02. :yeshrug: A lot of cats be adding accessory work for every little thing, to the point that they start "majoring in the minors" and the accessory work begins to overshadow the main lift work. (This assumes they're even doing appropriate main lift work in the first place.)

Again, for someone who pulls more than anyone else here, that's just what's worked for me. :hubie: Also not frying your CNS will help, as a symptom of CNS fatigue is decreased grip strength.

One of the dudes in here telling you to work it directly is also using straps on the trap bar, so there's that... :sas2:

Generally agree from what I see at my gym anyway. I kind of get it from the older men because they are middle age dads but the younger cats doing forearm work is perplexing.

Got caught in a downpour on the way back from the gym. I still haven’t readjusted to random thunderstorms


Anyway, been stagnant with my weight but not hitting the weights as hard, I would’ve thought I gained weight really. Crazy how much better your body looks when weightlifting vs letting it get soft.


Re-Upped my hungry root subscription from a few years ago. Want really quick, ~400 cal, plant based high veggie meals. This should help drop the last 10-15
