How to Get a Stronger Grip! In this video, I talk about how to get a stronger grip. I share that when I first started measuring my grip strength, I was stuck around 170-180 pounds (80 kg). I was training my forearm flexors, thinking that would increase my grip strength, but that didn't really work. It wasn't until I started training two specific areas that dramatically increased my grip strength to over 100 kg in just a matter of months. The first area is the belly of your thumb, which is a mix of smaller muscles that move your thumb. The stronger your thumb, the more you can squeeze with it, and the thumb belly creates the base of our grip. The second area is a wrist extensor - having slight radial deviation and extension at the same time. I share a couple of exercises using a kettlebell to train these two areas, and I hope it helps improve your grip strength as well.

Muscle Up Tips! The first phase is where people struggle most because they don’t know how to generate momentum (which is okay when you’re learning) to get in top of the bar. They wind up chicken winging or over compensating elsewhere to make it work. This trick helps you learn how to properly engage your core and legs to assist your arms so you’ll wind up flying higher than you first thought possible. Hope this helps!

One Arm Pull Up Tips. Being accustomed to a stable body position when we have 2 arms on the bar can be a huge factor that holds you back from achieving a 1 arm Pull Up. In conjunction with stability, two arm pull ups and the position you are in when facing forward limits training the brachialis, serratus anterior and obliques, which are a lot more active when doing one arm Pull Ups. Hope this helps 💪 Link in bio for programs. #Fitness #exercise #pullups #calisthenics #athlete
