About 10 years ago I suffered an ulnar nerve compression in my left elbow which resulted in, seemingly permanent, muscle wasting in my left hand. Despite what I was told by 2 different neurologists, I have regained, without medical intervention, sufficient grip strength to accommodate my poverty deadlift. I’m particularly fond of the deadlift because of the ease at which they integrate into fast paced circuits. Therefore, building and maintaining grip strength is of prime importance to me. Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to try to post a few of my favorite exercises for this purpose.

Shown here is a setup that I really enjoy. It eliminates the systemic fatigue associated with the traditional wrist-roller and allows for much more focused attention on just grip strength and forearm activation.

On a related note, I talk to many that are feeling down in the dumps as a result of an injury. My advice is to not accept defeatist thoughts, either from within or from “experts”. Most likely, with the right mind state you’ll get back to where you were, and if you physically just can’t, I promise you’ll get far on the road to a full return, and you should feel proud of yourself for engaging in a tooth and nail struggle that most wouldn’t.

As always…in the best gym around Glen Elk Iron!!!

Do constant minor injuries have you sitting on the sidelines when you really want to be out there on the golf course with the crew? Many of my clients used to go through this seemingly endless cycle but once they committed to a core-focused full-body strengthening program, they hopped off the cycle…and for good!!!

Do these 2 exercises look similar? Yes, of course they do! And indeed, they work primarily the same muscle groups. But, the muscle fibers that comprise these groups exist on a continuum of different types that correspond to the different manner in which similar movements get performed when executing real world activities like…say…playing a game of golf! Therefore, if you want to be certain that you’re doing your due diligence in the realm of injury prevention be sure to not only strengthen the multitude of movement patterns that your lifestyle necessitates but also in the differing degrees of intensity that your sport requires!
