Don't Forget to Squeeze
It’s not uncommon for a client to admit they have poor grip strength.
Grip strength is important, too. You grip strength is a good indicator of total body strength.
So, what are we supposed to do?
The good news is we don’t need to add another thing on your list to do. Instead, we need to increase you awareness around certain movements so you can train your grip as well.
During marches, rows, deadlifts and even squats and push ups, you should be engaging your body through your hands. Squeezing the implement you are using creates irradiation. Meaning it turns on more stuff to help you stabilize.
Train your grip more during the movements you’re already doing, you’ll be surprised how much of a difference it can make.
