Check out our new grip strength station!

GRIP STRENGTH MATTERS!
Heres' why...

✔ Strong hands & forearms help you lift heavier
✔Maintain strength as you age
✔Perform everyday tasks with confidence
✔Improve overall functional strength

Think about it...
➡ Carrying groceries
➡ Opening jars & doors
➡ Using tools
➡ Weight training
➡ Catching yourself if you trip
Just to name a few!

🏋 So before you reach for those straps the next time you deadlift, ask yourself is my grip giving out before my muscles do?

So why not train all types of grip strength?
😊 Crushing grip- Squeezing something in your palm. Think grippers or a tennis ball
😊 Support grip- Holding onto something heavy for time. Think deadlifts, farmers carries or dumbbell holds
😊 Pinch grip- holding something between thumb & fingers
😊 Hook grip- using your fingers to secure a bar without relying as much on your thumb
😊 Open-hand grip- gripping with the fingers more extended, think thick handled implements.
😊 Wrist/forearm strength - controlling & stabilizing the wrist, which controls all of the above!
