Crushing Starts Here

Grip Rings

Not only are they perfect for warming up, the higher resistance on these rings really does make them challenging, they are great for building strength too!

Ideal for replicating the crushing motion you can use grip rings for a variety of purposes.

We recommend using these before moving onto Hand Grippers.

CHALLENGING CRUSHER

ROLLING HANDLES

Now we're talking.. I'll try to be as unbiased as possible here (Rolling Handles are my favourite).

Usually used to perform one handed deadlifts, rolling handles provide a very tough challenge due to the 'Roll'.

The handle trys to pull its way out of your hand. The only way to combat this is with pure crushing grip strength and a strong wrist.

How To Train Crush Grip

If you are already a regular in the gym, training your crush grip is very easy. You can make a few adjustments to your training and increase your crush over a relatively short period of time.

On deadlift days you can add short holds to the end of your lift, we would prefer that you use double overhand grip whilst warming up and leave the straps off as long as possible. This applies to rows and pull downs. Leave the straps off as long as you can.

One of our favorite ways to develop crush grip is using a rolling handle. Basically a one handed deadlift with a thick handle that rotates, sounds cool right? Well it is! We highly recommend you give them a go.

Benefits Of A Strong Crush Grip

Crush grip is used all day every day. Whether your opening doors, driving your car or shaking a colleagues hand (not so much anymore).

Crush grip is used for almost everything hand related. If you have a job that requires manual labor then you'll likely have a good crush grip already.
