Arm strength

When I was privileged to shoot on the 3rd Mar Div team my instructor highly recommended these to build up strength in your wrist and arms. I just got a new one to build up my strength some.

A valid point.

I have a few of these, which I have had for many years. Very well made.

And for balanced muscles

I use a hand gripper that I got from therapy years ago with interchangeable springs, but the hand bands look interesting I’d like to look into them. looks like a good idea.

I don’t understand , what does this gyroscope do, and how do you use it?

I’ve been using a gripper and some bands that have loops for the fingers but suspect they would work similarly with or without. They’ve both helped get some of the strength back that I lost last year.

When you get it going it creates a lot of resistance and gives your wrist hand and arms a heck of a workout I would like to see you go for more than 30 seconds when you start

I’m dealing with arthritis pain, carpal tunnel, which shoots up my arm affecting my shooting at the range. I’m glad I am using the copper fit compression gloves and it’s been helping a lot.

Deadlift via straight bar or trap bar. You’ll build strength in your entire body plus grip strength. Barbell or Dumbbell rows, also good for grip strength.

Deadlifts are definitely good for grip strength. Go double overhand (both palms facing in towards your body) with no chalk and hold the bar at the top until you are about to drop it after the last rep of the last set, harder on the grip and arms, less hard on the back.

Farmers walk with heavy DB or KB is also fantastic for grip.

Yeah one rule of thumb I like is to hold the bar for 3 secs at the top of each DL rep, but either works.

I bought an open trap bar recently and Im going to do wheel barrel walks with it at somenpoint.

I remember those! I used one for several years until it cracked and split open. I didn’t know they still made 'em. Nowadays, my grip/forearm exercise mostly comes from a framing hammer and a Skillsaw.
