@michaeleckert_fit: 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.

The thumb press machine seems kind niche, is there a substitute or a DIY you would recommend? Also the thumb kettlebell lift seems to work the fingers holding the bar more than the thumb, is that by design or am I seeing it wrong?

as a sport therapist and massage therapist i am telling you from my one experience,and of my patients , you can seriously hurt tendons and joints of the hand messing around with the muscles in your hand . you need to really take it slow and not over do it

used to be a powerlifter before I retired cuz of an injury. one of my best methods to improving grip for deadlift was actually an overlooked thing: chalk. dont be afraid to use chalk. use chalk and lift till even a chalked grip fails. after just a few sessions, you'll be lifting that weight without chalk. it sounds too good to be true but trust me it still works for me to this day 👍
