I find this statement odd, as I find these two fingers are the only ones that don't really get trained by the grippers, it's more the middle finger and pointer that get trained.
Also keep in mind that your fingers do not have any muscles as such only tendons and connective tissue, the muscles are in your forearms, and training your grip will strengthen your forearms as well as the tendons and connective tissue if done right.
To close the COC, it will be pinky and ring.
That's what I used to believe too...Also keep in mind that your fingers do not have any muscles as such only tendons and connective tissue, the muscles are in your forearms, and training your grip will strengthen your forearms as well as the tendons and connective tissue if done right.
I think their main flaw is that they mainly develop the pinky and ring finger.
We had them at work so I got ridiculously strong at them as a joke. Nearly got the 3. Nearly dropped 180kg the first time I deadlifted it and I did drop 200kg. I've heard from a few other 600lb+ deadlifters they can't close the 2.
Good for beers and screwing around with mates.
I was responding to "the muscles are in the forearms", if that helps.The muscles are in the hand and forearm, not the fingers
about 170kg is approaching my deadlift limit for double overhand grip and I have closed the 1.5 but not the 2. I consider my grip to be pretty poor. I'd argue it's improved most from deadlifting itself though so far.
As I said earlier, being able to hold onto just 200kg (or 215kg) is not a valid argument against grip work
I'm very proud of you
If you can hold onto any weight you can lift what's the need for any extra grip work?
You tell me.
Be more specific.
More just a question to your reply to Oni's comment that holding onto a 200kg bar isn't a valid argument against grip work. I was assuming from your comment you agree with that?
Unless your grip is limiting something I don't really see the need for extra grip training.
Why?
