POV: your watching this in 2024

Dude looks like a buff Steve-O 😂

Thank you for BLOWING my mind. I was SUPER ignorant. I just bought a gripper today and figured I'd search around for tips. Thanks for this video.

I got my first hand grippers when I was about 12-13, and now I´m 17. After about 2 months, my grip was VERY strong, like squeezing another persons hand. But I´ve noticed that if I use it too often, like 4 days a week, my forearm really hurts, so I´m only doing this 2 days a week plus my arm workout that includes forearm exercise in the gym and ALOT of stretching of the forearm, thank you for your time!

The instruction on how to grip it resulted in immediate improvement. It almost doubled my max rep count, was able to do 120 consecutive squeezes in a breeze.

sorry i cant notice any difference?!?!! which side is more straighter/rounder . it looks same for me

Well explained and comprehensive video. You answered many of my questions.

I keep my grips in my car , so that while I'm driving I can work on my grip. I've noticed a huge difference in my hand strength especially my weak points ! How do I know this ?....as I did shrug exercises before I couldn't hold the weight for to long because the pinky side of my hand started to to fatigue and and my hand would start to open up but ever since I started doing these grip exercises I noticed more reps in before I feel fatigue in my hands with heavy ass weight.I didn't just notice a difference in hand strength with shrugs i noticed it with curls,deadlifts,uprightrows basically every exercise I do now .these grips work.

this vid was awesome i would have never thought there was so many variations and techniques in grip training

What if my upper forearm is slightly sore after bicep curling 2 days ago, can i still do these gripper workouts?

thanks lee... very interesting

My hand from using the hand grippers for a little bit ache a little, and they feel strained while working them, but I dont seem to be feeling anything from my forearms. Is this normal?

I would like to order hand grippers from your side just to get your book but I already have the complete set of grippers. Is there another way I can get your book without ordering the grippers?

Thank you Mr Hayward! Never knew there is so much to learn only to do a hand gripping!

i have the set at home but now i'm searching for a training scedule does anyone know where i can find a proper scedule pls

Also reply how many should i do it and at what time .

Cheers dude. Great explanation. Been looking for an explanation like this for aaaaages!

I feel hand numbness when I wake up sometimes since I started grippers training. and then an hour later numbness returns for a bit at random. anyone knows why or has gone through it

does it matter where knuckles are positioned to the forearm, do I want my knuckles straight with my wrist during this or can I have can I have my knuckles more extended and top of wrist aligning with thumb?

There is some kind of pressure in wrist after 4 days of using hand gripper. Is that normal sir

can I do it anytime of the day??or I need to do this during forearm workout only? please reply

Is it normal for my elbow to feel a pain (not bad pain just a odd little pain) when doing the pinky ring finger only workouts

Got a gripper today. This really helped.

Ordered the first 4 in strength and looking forward to using them! I was one of the people hassling you for a forearm workout, so thanks :-) Lee - I'm also interested in your opinion on resistance cables for forearm workout? Maybe these will feature in your compete forearm workout at a later date?

what do you recommend to eat after this specific exercise?

Hello,thanks for advice ! How many days per week should I do this training ? Can I do it everyday ?

Hmm.. when i use grippers, i can close them, but after a few reps of 10.. the skin around the joins in my fingers ( that are in contact with the grippers ) are sore.. am i doing it wrong or is it simply just the grippers rubbing against my fingers?

When you order these how long it takes to arrive in mail?

i have trouble closing the HG 200 i can only close it by 2 cm.

How many set and repitation should i do

how many reps and sets??

I just read that this helps bring down high blood pressure. do you have anything to add to that?

What is the right way to grip a dumbble with palm grip or with finger grip

my left hand is weak it can only shut in inverse way.. any tips??

where can i buy such grippers? im from germany

I seem to have some wrist problems , but no doctor or anyone sees anything wrong with them , after a hard workout with dumbbells or even pushups the top of the wrist possibly the muscle on the join hurts when i bend it , should i use the hand grippers ? really want to try , maybe it will help my problem.

I've noticed that my palm is leaning backwards when gripping. if trying to hold my palm straight from my wrist up, it feels doing wonders to my grip. Get's way more harder but after training feels so much better. I can close CoC 1 fully for reps when allowing my palm to move, but seem to struggle a bit with CoC T with wrist held straight. Can get a few good reps (fully closed, with the clashing sound) and then my hand is done :D But feels i've really worked my grip and my wrists.

how many minutes do you do it for?

if you've never used hand grips should you start like at the bottom like weight training or would I be able to go into a heavy hand gripper thingy?

Hai there, I'd like to ask you a few things. Firstly, what's the right number of repetitions that I need to do with the gripper in order to train correctly and build up my grip strength after continuous training?

Which gripper book do you recommend? This is great info thx!!

How many reps do u close it nd sets? Like close it 15 times both hands nd give it a 45 sec break nd go for the 2nd set then do another 15 ???

Mine make this annoying a queen a week every time I use it..how I get rid of the sqrekd oil wd40?it literally gives me a headache sweeet squeek sqweek 😧

Hi Hayward! Is this device good for muscle building/shaping in the region between the elbow and the wrist?

@leemhayward Thanks for replying to my question, I got a pair of these 3 days ago and used them quite a lot, I feel because I have small hands I may need a small set of grippers, but I have only ever seen one size, their wooden handled, but they will be very durable. I'll continue doing them daily. Thanks again.

Are you doing something wrong if it's hurting your hand? or is that because I'm not used to it?

you acquired those arms with only the hand grip?

You didn't mention at what speed we should do the grip reps? Like do them rapidly? Or slowly press it and then release it???? Hold it pressed down for a while before releasing?

Very informative!! Thanks a lot❤️

I am 13 years old . I also have power grip exerciser . I do 20 reps at morning , afternoon , evening and at night . Will my height will get blocked by doing this exercise .

Lee is amazing....and his videos are very informative. God bless

I know grips work your hands/forearms but can someone tell me a method for working thumbs/pinch grip as opposed to crush? I'm trying to get into the fire academy and they tell us our forearms have to be as strong as humanly possible basically

this may sound like a stupid question, but do grippers actually help build any mass on the forearms, or this only achieved through using weights as such.

I have York soft hand, Extra Strong ones, is that good too?

is there any diffrens between Bonecrusher grippers or Heavy grippers?

does this also help strengthen the wrists?

Do wrist rollers help with grip strength or just size?

yo lee how many sets and reps should i do with the hand grippers wen i use them?

I badly need many stuff falls from my hand due to weak grip

I want to ask you that i want to order heavy gripper full set to Kuwait. Can you tell me that how much will be the cost of the shippment from TNT or DHL? thx

@leemhayward Ahh right - thanks for replying - I'll have a look ! What song did you use at the start of this video ? (0:00-0:10) ?

Thanks man this has really been helpful.

Thanks for the video man. I checked out your other ones too, and realised, that you like adventure too, just like me. Nice. I have a question though. While we do the grip exercises, does the position of the forearm matter? I mean, does it make any difference if the forearm is at 90 deg to the upper arm, or say at 180 deg?

Do I train every day with it? I am a very professional

@leemhayward will it make my wrist not bigger, but stronger?

i have one but i never acutally gave it much thought on how it could help me

will it expand my wrist size????

Can someone please tell me the song from 2:22?

Hey i have a question, i have like these grippers that i just bought off a sale in the mall, and its like plastic grippers wrapped in foam if im right? Anyways its only been my 3rd day doing this and at first it feld hard, but now on the 3rd day its really easy now, so my question is, Can i do handgrip exercises everyday? And should i buy new grippers? Thankss man.

@leemhayward so Lee, the curved handle, it should be put against the 4 fingers, and the straight leg, against your thumb right?

How many days a week should I do this exercise?

useful video ty, I was doing it wrong the whole time

I can squeeze the 100s pretty easily. Can I do high reps with them, and low reps / long holding with the 200s? My goal is to also build bigger hands, not just strength. I recently built a wrist roller myself, which gives me a great pump in my forearms.

Where in your arm does it affect?

Great explanation! Thanks!

hey............ it was a nice and helpful video. Can i workout with my hand gripper daily? if not then what should b the workout schedule for hand gripper with how many reps and sets? Thanks..

Appreciate the information thanks 🙏🏼 helped me a bunch

Hmm, i want the grippers, do they deliver to the Republic of Ireland? I do grappling and i could imagine having a megastrong grip would give me an edge.

im looking to develop muscle tone in my arms are grippers good for that? also it seems grippers heavily work the flexors than extensors do i need to do seperate extension exercises for extensors to keep up?

Hi...I'm 14 years....and I'm 5'2. So will this reduce my height?

Great instructive video.Thx.

Really useful man, thanks.

Nice tips, thanks Lee

you can also make it harder if you grip the gripper further up.

how many reps should i do per day with this little device ;D ???

@leemhayward Hey man - do you ship to the UK ? P.S What song is that at the start of the video ? (0:00-0:10) :D

HEY PLEASE HELP! How many times should I squeeze per hand and how fast??? I got my hand grip today and I’ve just been going at it and now my left wrist (where it’s veiny under the palm) REALLY HURTS AND FEELS WEIRD. WHY???

never thought there is so much to it. great video

Then if I do weight lifting.....will it reduce my height?

the link isnt working :/

@leemhayward r these really all that good ? thinking about getting them feed back from others will be good thanks :)

where is the jerking of manual? I think I might have done something wrong for years!

i like the pinky/ring finger tip. makes a lot of sense

wow the ring and pinky finger tip is insane

Good tips Lee, thanks

Can this help grip a basketball?

Anybody notice Dani California by RHCP playing in the background

can you close coc 4??

Very useful tips. Holding the gripper high in the hand makes it much easier to close.
