“You can never have too much grip strength! Imagine your current project. Now imagine all the holds in the same places, but twice as easy to hold…could you do it? Probably.” -Will Anglin
How nice would that be? Will Anglin admits it’s a little oversimplified but think about it…if holds feel easier to hold onto, you’re more likely to send, right? In this article by Will, from his site willanglin.squarespace.com, he shares exercises for improving your forearm strength.
Hang boarding is one of the very best ways to improve finger and grip strength. That being said, it is not the best way to maximize hypertrophy of the forearm muscles….for that, Will talks about specific exercises he recommends.
The grip strengthening exercises include: heavy finger curls, reverse wrist curls, hammer curls, reverse curls, wrist pronation/supination and radial deviation/ulnar deviation. He includes clear directions and photos for how to do each exercise.
