How strong is your grip?

You can train your grip strength at home! Try building up to the double towel hang. It's an uncommon exercise that builds strength (and muscle!) in our palms and forearms.

The "type" of grip strength this uses seems to be different than the ones we use to do pullups or lift barbells. It's not uncommon to struggle at first. Rope climbing uses the same grip!

Training grip AFTER your pull sets for a 2-3 sets is a great way to incorporate grip training.

Simply build up to around 3 sets of 60 seconds on each exercise before moving on!

An older version of this video showed how to build up to a one-arm towel hang. While this is an impressive feat of strength, I got the feeling most people wouldn't care enough to try it. So I recommended the double towel hang instead!

Similarly, a one arm bar hang (which I show here) is a good exercise, but sometimes causes the shoulders to fail before the grip does. So I left it out this time.

Hope this can help! Have a wonderful day.
