You are one powerful human being; we all are in one form or
another. We have certain strengths, weaknesses and we find some way to use a
talent we posses. A lot of what we do physically contains within our hands. Our
hands are the very essence of what we create. Grip Strength is one of the most
important foundations a man or woman should posses. Being able to handle
groceries, carry your kid, defend your family or if you’re a sports athlete,
your hands are the very foundation of your talent; can’t shoot a basketball,
throw a football, swing a bat or coordinate a hockey stick without having good
solid hands. You can have very powerful hands not just in crushing strength but
many other ways.
One of the
best ways to develop superhuman grip strength is increasing the strength in
your tendons and ligaments. How many injuries can you count where an athlete or
the average person had to wear a brace on their wrist because of a tendon pull
or break? A form of training called Partials where you only lift a short
distance is one of the most fun and brutal ways to increase your tendon power. Think
of lifting a weight you could never imagine hitting at full range; you can
almost have twice as much strength to lift at short range. This not only builds
dense muscle but take your tendons into the stratosphere.
In
combat/contact sports, you must find a way to take down an opponent whether
you’re a football player or even a MMA athlete, your grip can change the very
facet of the match and it either make your or break within less than a few
seconds. You’re on the defensive line in football and a running back or a
receiver has got his hands on the ball, if you have strong hands, you can take
him down and squeeze the very life out of him and he’ll think twice of getting
in your path. You’re in a fight against a great Mixed Martial Artist or Wrestler, he’s
fast, he’s agile and knows how to slip out of holds, but you have some mighty
mitts and you end up one way or another getting him in a lock or have a good
hold on him for a takedown. You have him in your grasp, you put your heart into
this fight and you even put in the time to train your grip to the core, you get
a hold on him, he has no choice but to tap out, he can’t fathom how strong and
supple your hands are on him. Want strong hands, you’re going to have to build
them.
You are one
strong person my friend but it’s important to continue getting stronger. Like
lifting weights, use fat gripz for your upper body movements like pulls,
presses, curls, cleans, snatches anything that you can put your hands on, even
pull-ups, these will make your hands super strong. One type of implement that
will take your grip to a new level is sledgehammers, think of the old-time
laborers and how powerful their hands were doing hours of taking out rock and
stone with a heavy hammer, think of being Thor and tackling the frost giants
with thunderous power and superhuman strength. Build your eagle claws by doing
exercises on your fingertips like push-ups, pull-ups and even Animal Exercises;
think about that, being able to walk in the steps of a big and powerful bear or
the super strong gorilla on your fingertips, that will build tendon strength
like an extreme few can ever be done.
How would
you feel if you had the grip power to knock home runs, bend steel, tear decks of cards in half and destroy your competition on the gridiron taking down fast
runners and receivers and even taking out the quarterback? Your grip will be a
major factor whether you realize it or not and the stronger you make your grip,
chances are the stronger your entire body will be. Our hands are not just these
little bitty muscles and tendons; they are one of the most powerful energy
sources in the human body. Create energy in your hands and you’ll see how
powerful you can be. Stay hungry my friends and be strong and smart.
