How to Modify Three Common Exercises for a Better Grip

  • Strong grip benefits include easier jar opening, healthier hands, improved grappling skills, and better deadlift performance.
  • Modify common exercises to enhance grip strength, such as Hand Grenade Rows, Towel Pull-ups, and Kettlebell Crush Pull-ups.
  • Hand Grenade Rows involve using a modified softball attached to a cable machine, focusing on gripping with less hand surface over time to increase difficulty.
  • Towel Pull-ups require holding onto hand towels instead of a bar, with the option to use one towel and the bar for beginners, or increasing towel distance for added challenge.
  • Kettlebell Crush Pull-ups, suitable for advanced exercisers, involve hanging from a kettlebell and can be scaled down by starting with hangs and leg raises before progressing to pull-up motions.
  • These exercise variations not only strengthen the grip but also engage multiple body muscles, making them effective for overall fitness.
