Well your stomach is naturally about the size of your fist so the best thing to do is get one of these and use it at least six times a day to make the muscles in your hand bigger which will make your fist bigger which will stretch your stomach!

u/Avuja · 25 pointsr/InternetIsBeautiful

Really all you gotta do is look at the description underneath the IN STOCK message.

Seems like every product where they've sold it for next to nothing on those review trading websites all use the same template.

  • A FEW WORDS IN ALL CAPS: then a description further trying to sell you on this feature.
  • MORE WORDS IN ALL CAPS: continued description of simple things like made of plastic as being a feature.

    Every time I see a product with like 5-8 of those description lines I always find reviews saying "Got this product at a discount for an honest review"

I had this when I first started too. Can't recommend the Theraband FlexBar enough: https://www.amazon.ca/TheraBand-26107-Thera-Band-Flex-Yellow/dp/B003XWXRYS. My tennis elbow used to be so bad it'd keep me up at night sometimes, but I never experience any grip burnout/pain at all anymore.

Here's a good instructional on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we4UoiKG3Co

Edit: Also, might help to try to minimize gi gripping techniques, and to be aware of how often you're needlessly death gripping when you do grip.

u/sprayAtMeBro · 8 pointsr/climbing

Campusing

Campusing is a high-intensity exercise for improving finger power, contact strength, and coordination. After just a year of climbing, it's extremely unlikely that's your weakness. More likely, your limiting factors are finger strength, technique, and overall body strength, which are best trained by fingerboarding, climbing, and weight lifting, respectively.

(Even then, it's arguable that simply climbing -- especially bouldering -- will yield the greatest performance ROI.)

Personally, I doubt campusing is suitable for anyone climbing less than ~V8-V10. That seems to be about the level where the power trained by the campus board becomes overwhelmingly helpful. But below that, finger strength gains made via climbing and fingerboarding will yield greater returns.

Finger Rehab

I find finger extensions using a rubber band (or similar device) are extremely helpful at reducing finger soreness. This set off Amazon is a sturdy, usable, and discrete set that I'm particularly fond of. I'm in the habit of doing 100-150 reps/day, and notice an increase in next-day soreness when I skip them.

If you have serious acute pain, I would not climb and instead take a few weeks off. If you're just sore, and especially if the soreness subsides considerably following a warmup, then it's safe to continue climbing. Just warm up thoroughly, keep your intensity low, and favor open-handed grips.

u/TheRealMisterCrowley · 7 pointsr/guns

If you think a Glock trigger is heavy you need to work on your hand strength. I'd recommend getting one of these. That, or buy a Nagant revolver and shoot it exclusively in double action.

I don't seem to have too much of a problem so far, but I've been using a grip strength hand squeezie thingie for idle time exercise. Technical term. Something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Gripmaster-Pro-Edition/dp/B0042SM5OK

I do find I'm clumsy and often drop things, though...

u/flamtapped · 4 pointsr/Glocks

I recently broke my hand and am expected to have up to 25% muscle atrophy. I bought this and would recommend it.

u/CoffeeCakeAllDay · 4 pointsr/climbing

I had this same problem when I started climbing a few months ago. My elbow only really bothered me after long bouldering sessions or when I tried routes with overhangs.


To treat this, first I started doing I started doing stretches every day and doing self-massage on my elbow. This really helped the pain go away, and within a week of doing those every day I noticed a huge difference.


The pain wasn't as intense now, but I still would get the pain after I went bouldering and I considered seeing a doctor about it. I googled around noticed that many physical therapists were saying that strengthening your forearms is the most important part of getting rid of tendinitis.


So I started using the Thera-Band Flexbar every day. I started with the recommended routine (3 sets of 15, twice a day), and noticed that my forearms were so tired afterwards that I had to do less difficult bouldering routes on the days that I climbed. I ended up only doing 2 sets of 15 (once a day) for a few months and now my elbow pain is pretty much gone.


The combination of stretching, massage, and strengthening EVERY DAY really helped treat my tendinitis.

u/slippy0101 · 4 pointsr/GripTraining

I'd suggest looking into a Vatiz gripper. It's solid, really well built and it's adjustable in small increments, from 60lbs (CoC Guide) up to 390lbs (higher than CoC #4) , in increments of around 10-12 lbs. They also use a machine to calibrate the weight so you can trust what it says it is. And a personal preference is that the handles close flush the whole way vs a gap at the top.

It's really handy needing only one gripper for warming up, sets, and max rather than having to mess with a bunch of different grippers.

Edit: I actually checked their official scale. The increments start at 6lbs and slowly increase with the resistance. The last increment is 20 lbs (going from 370lbs to 390lbs).

u/qweltor · 3 pointsr/CCW

> Your brain feels like it has to over compensate for recoil, and just prior to you pulling the trigger, you tend to clench your firing hand.

Hey OP (u/HelpSheKnowsUsername), listen to this guy!

If the hand is already tense (or tight/firm on the pistol grip), it can not suddenly tense or tighten during firing.

The trick is that while the hand/grip is tight/tense, the trigger finger needs to stay relaxed (or under smooth control) to move the trigger straight back to the rear (without jerking or skipping)

As work-up (to build hand/grip/finger strength), I like to use whole-hand grip squeezers (example) and individual-finger grip squeezers (example Prohands).

u/MyParentsAre_Cousins · 3 pointsr/Fitness

I like doing farmers carries with weight plates and holding them with a pinch grip (don't know if that is an actual term, just the best way I can think to describe it.

Also I would do barbell curls with just my wrists. So sit down on the bench with your forearms flat on the bench with your hands hanging just past your wrist and curl the bar while keeping your arms flat against the bench.

You can also get a grip strengthener



I got botox shots in my hands 2x a year for about 10 years so I had almost no grip when I started training.

Also, you can buy wrist straps for grip assistance as well.

u/chickensandwichesare · 3 pointsr/StreetFighter

Recently I've begun looking into ways to increase the speed and accuracy of my left hand. I am right handed and noticed recently that I can do 720 motions with my right hand at least twice as fast and with greater accuracy than with my left despite never using my right hand on a joystick.

The plan: Use guitar hand, wrist, and forearm exercises to increase the strength and accuracy of my weak hand.

The goal: increase the speed and accuracy of my left hand.

Excercises:

  1. Take a few rubberbands and put them around the outside of your thumb and fingers. Spread your fingers apart until you feel fatigue. Rest. Switch hands. Repeat 3-5 times.

  2. Use a light dumbbell for this exercise. 3-5 lbs. Hold the dumbbell with your arm at a 90 degree angle at your side with your palm facing up. Turn your hand down and repeat this motion for 8 reps. Do 3 sets with both arms so you don't end up with some freakishly lopsided forearms and people start asking questions.

  3. Grip strength. Get one of these and find your sweet spot. Again you're doing 3 - 5 sets of 8.

    I'll be doing these exercises often for the next couple months. My hopes are that by the end of this test I will have as much speed and control in my left hand as I do in my right.

u/TheHoundThatRides · 3 pointsr/Fitness

Buy something like this. It's adjustable and the same as buying multiple Captains of Crushes.

Look up guides on how to progress with them.

u/NotYourGameWarden · 2 pointsr/ProtectAndServe

Dry fire religiously and hand grips. The stronger your hands actually are the more you can crushgrip the pistol without getting shaky. Also helps with endurance.

Get one of these. I have similar issues and this works well.

I am new to "grip" training (been powerlifting/bodybuilding) for few around 6 years. "SUPER GRIPPERS" look awesome to me being adjustable. I dont care for certifications, i just really want to get stronger forearms as possible for me. My question is; are they good as they seem to be? Currently looking at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZXYP9XV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1I1RXXZ29LZB1&psc=1.

And should i also include something like a "hand exerciser"? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KH3L7KC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Thanks to anyone taking their time to reply. Btw, I will also be using various fat grips everyday

u/varcas · 2 pointsr/GripTraining

When using hand grippers, specifically Heavy Grips 150, what's the optimal time to rest before doing exercises again? I only got these a couple weeks ago but could manage to do around 10 reps on my non-dominant hand. This morning, after not using them for several days, I was able to bang out 20 reps easy. Is it like any other body part, ~48 hours?

u/yehyehwut · 2 pointsr/GripTraining

I searched Amazon and it says they're eligible for shipping to Australia. But they are $159 delivered. No idea if that's an ok price.

u/rich-people-water · 2 pointsr/Fencing

They have things like this and this and dozens of others if you just want to work on finger strength.

Also I can't stress this enough, relax your arm and make sure the grip you are using is the right size for your hand. If its the right size but shaped wrong in a few places you can always use tape or sugru to change the surface geometry.

u/StaticBeat · 2 pointsr/Overwatch

When I had tendinitis a while back from gaming too much, I wasn't sure what was going on and I was really scared I was gonna lose my ability to properly use my hand and arm. After doing a bit of research, I found out about physical therapy you can do at home using the theraband flexbar. After using the twist technique, I already felt minor temporary relief. After using it for a couple weeks it was completely gone.

The flexbar is about 10-15 bucks and is absolutely worth every penny for any noncasual gamer. I still use it and just do the twists between long load times or queues. I still recommend doing the suggested hand stretches/exercises as well on the side for added health, but the band is a major step.

u/oktangospring · 2 pointsr/bodyweightfitness

I had tennis elbow twice. Get Theraband Flexbar—you will feel better within three to five days and should be able to resume pullups within two weeks.

u/brainchasm · 2 pointsr/Fitness

Chalk, and monkey grip. Maybe get a pumice stone to grind down your calluses some (carefully). The higher they are above the surface of your hand, the more they get pressed back into the hand when you grip, so the more they hurt.

I'm also still working with a grip trainer to see if it helps, but suffice it to say, I feel your pain OP.

I bought the Vatiz adjustable gripper a couple months ago and have been enjoying it. Making some solid progress but still a long way from being able to close it with one spring at the top setting, let alone both springs. I bought it for $80 but it looks like the price has gone up on Amazon recently: https://www.amazon.com/Vatiz-Adjustable-Gripper-Double-Spring-Version/dp/B00OE12CZ2

Got one of these and it's been helping me work on various grip strengths for rock climbing.

Depending on how you grip the slide, this might help. I typically thumb pinch against the 1st knuckle of my pointer.

So my goal is to recover my speed and precision when playing guitar. I used to be a beast, but over the years life got in the way and I ended up playing less. I’m back in a position where I feel ready to get back into bands and playing music again, but my technique has gone to shit.

I’ve been practicing a lot recently and I’m slowly recovering my technique but I’m so out of practice that my hands are aching like hell

The Grip Strengthener will help build up the strength and flexibility in my hands faster and help me recover the muscle memory and dexterity I once had

u/rubynew · 1 pointr/Fitness

How important is grip specific training for progressing the deadlift? I use a mixed grip instead of double overhand whenever I go heavier than 185 lbs for the deadlift.

I'm thinking about getting this grip trainer actually. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VIGEQXC

Thoughts?

u/armour_de · 1 pointr/Fitness

What I have gathered from things I have done and heard from others is:

  • weight lifting is good to help lift and move heavy things, an asset many labour jobs.
  • many body builders don't develop the endurance needed for an 8 hour work day
  • focus a little extra time on grip and forearm strength, its a big difference from a 300lbs dead lift with a nicely sized and textured bar to an odd shaped pallet full of crap.

    I have similar to this, and by the time I had it 85% of maximum pull I could lift and move stuff easier around work than someone would could lift 3 times what I could in the gym just because my hands weren't slipping.

u/DrSmoke · 1 pointr/Fitness

Get a small length of rope, or a sturdy towel. At the end of your workout, loop the rope around a pullup bar, and hang from the rope, do pullups if you can, but the point is to is to increase grip strength.


Also try one of these:

I had the same thing happen, I wear elbow sleeves for pressing, rows, and chins now, keeps my elbows comfortable. I stopped doing movements that hurt my elbow for a few weeks and worked on my chin up form. Make sure you arent curling your wrist at the top of the lift. I also used a flexbar ( https://www.amazon.com/TheraBand-Tendonitis-Resistance-Tendinitis-Intermediate/dp/B07C2HPZ36/ref=lp_2602142011_1_2?srs=2602142011&ie=UTF8&qid=1525357843&sr=8-2 ) to speed up the process, kept it at work and did some reps throughout the day. Hope it clears up.

u/LackingTact19 · 1 pointr/GripTraining

The Heavy Grips here on Amazon comes in sets of three at 100, 150, and 200 lbs, or alternatively a different set that comes in 150, 200, 250 lbs. How should I know which one's I should start with? 100 lbs seems pretty high but I don't have anything to compare that to, is it a normal starting weight?

Have you tired a Flexbar from Theraband? I had some pretty bad elbow pain from climbing. I started using this doing the Tyler twist. It has helped a lot. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

u/majarusty · 1 pointr/weightlifting

I had elbow tendonitis. I didn't rest it enough and it got so bad that I lost my grip. I couldn't even hold a pen (let alone a barbell). That scared me so I rested it as much as I could after that. Things that I tried/worked on - cut out inflammatory foods. Essential oils. Massage therapy, and Chiro appointments (I had some neck issues going on at the same time and my forearm of the affected elbow was super tight). Ultra sound,.Acupuncture, Ice/heat, Rest, voodoo floss.

Don't know If it helps with lifting, but you could try using a Gripmaster to strengthen your grip. I know a lot of climbers use them to help with grip, although I can't really say if this would fix the problem with lifting. They come in various tensions so you can increase the difficulty as you get stronger. It's also good because you can use it to train while not at the gym, just while sitting at your desk or watching TV.

u/handlebartender · 1 pointr/gainit

TL;DR get the Theraband Flexbar (no, I do not work for Theraband) and follow the rather simple exercises, freely available online.

Apologies for the lengthy post. I tend to aim for completeness in order to avoid confusion by info deficit. :)

I've had to deal with myriad injuries, even in just the last 5-6 years. Partial tear, medial meniscus (right knee, then surgery to correct), rotator cuff tears/bursitis (both shoulders (not at the same time), also had surgery to correct), right wrist, right foot, back on a couple of occasions, and drumroll tennis elbow on my right side. As a general rule, I adapted and scaled back the exercise. (Rotator cuff repair, you definitely don't want to jeopardize that.)

I'll focus on the tennis elbow, since that seems to be the crux of your concerns.

I consulted with both my doc and my PT. Neither one said to stop workout out, although going from memory, it may have been suggested that I could try avoiding exercise which involved my right arm until the tennis elbow had resolved, as one option. There would of course be no guarantees on any sort of timeline for the tennis elbow resolving.

Dug around online. Eventually came across some links which touted the Theraband Flexbar as being the be-all and end-all in helping to resolve tennis elbow. Mentioned it to my PT who heartily recommended it. Exercises looked simple enough, so I ordered the red Flexbar.

Did the exercises somewhat regularly. And for the longest time, I felt no improvements. Or if I thought I had a slight improvement, I wondered whether I'd imagined it, or whether confirmation bias was at play.

I would also massage the tender spot with the thumb of my left hand. My PT recommended it (with moderate pressure), with the caveat that overdoing it could end up aggravating it. She recommended doing it perhaps 3x/week at most.

I also pondered which muscles were being activated when I used the Flexbar. Just to change it up a bit, there were times I would grab a modest dumbbell (5-8 lbs) and place my forearm across my thigh, palm down. I'd use my left hand to help lift it up into position, then would let my right hand lower it slowly. Repeat.

My doc cautioned me that it could take some time to resolve itself, but that it should eventually resolve. And for the longest time, it seemed like I was getting nowhere. Bloody frustrating. This went on for months. If I had to guess, probably 4 months, maybe 5.

Then one day (I was probably slacking off the exercises a fair bit by this time) I noticed that it didn't seem to be bothering me. I poked and prodded it, and it was fine. As mysteriously as it appeared, my tennis elbow was gone.

I honestly don't recall what sort of modifications/adaptations to exercises I might have done at the time. No doubt 2 hands for picking up plates instead of just my right hand. No issues with front/back squats that I can recall.

Side note: Early on, my doc mentioned there was another therapeutic option available, where they take some blood (your own), then concentrate it (the red blood cells, IIRC), then inject it directly into the tender tennis elbow location. The immediate effect is that it will behave like it's been bruised (plus increased tenderness), but apparently it has the effect of kickstarting recovery. I've done no research on this, but still thought it might be worth mentioning.

It works really well, it isolates the fingers so the stronger ones don't carry the rest

u/dog_eat_dog · 1 pointr/SuicideWatch

This is the kind that I got.

There are different resistance levels. I got green, or "firm". They aren't fucking around with this stuff. You really gotta squeeze the hell out of it for it to move. I might have gone the next step down.

They have stuff like this too, but I think it can be difficult depending on the hand size.

There are avenues to try, buddy. Give it a shot. Even a slight improvement is worth the work.

u/mowgli5083 · 0 pointsr/GripTraining

Here's a quick start guide if you want. Buy some Champions of Crush (CoC). If you can, buy some in person so you know which you can handle. Buy at least one to work with at the moment and one to progress towards. If you can't buy them in person most guys can handle either the 100lbs or 150lbs version, if you've been lifting for a while you could probably start on the 200lbs version. Then just do sets of squeezing on them like you would with any other weight.

Once you are comfortable with that start including some of the other exercises like pinchs, barbell rolls and wrist curls.

Basically your wrists are just a muscle, get some equipment and treat them like any other.
