Exercises to Do with Hand Gripper
FitBeast, a leading provider of fitness equipment and accessories, is delighted to share a list of exercises focused on utilizing hand grippers to strengthen grip and improve overall hand strength. With hand grippers becoming increasingly popular among fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and even those recovering from hand injuries, these exercises provide a comprehensive and effective approach to maximize the benefits of hand gripper training.
Hand grippers are compact tools specifically designed to target and strengthen the muscles of the hand, fingers, and forearm. They offer a versatile and convenient way to improve grip strength, which is essential for athletes involved in activities such as weightlifting, rock climbing, golf, tennis, or even everyday tasks like opening jars or carrying groceries.
Here are a few exercises to try with hand grippers at different levels of difficulty:
1. Beginner Exercises:
a. Squeeze-Release: Hold the hand gripper in your dominant hand and squeeze it as hard as possible for 5-10 seconds. Release slowly and repeat for 8-10 repetitions. Switch hands and repeat the exercise.
b. Finger Curl: Hold the gripper with your fingertips and curl your fingers inward, attempting to touch your palm. Repeat for 10-12 repetitions, then switch hands.
2. Intermediate Exercises:
a. Wrist Curl: Hold the gripper in your right hand with your palm facing up. Rest your forearm on a flat surface, such as a table, with your wrist hanging off the edge. Curl your wrist upward, squeezing the gripper as you lift. Repeat for 10-12 repetitions, then switch hands.
b. Static Hold: Squeeze the gripper as hard as possible and hold it in a static position for 30-60 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 repetitions, with short breaks in between.
3. Advanced Exercises:
a. Supination-Pronation: Hold the gripper perpendicular to the ground using your right hand. Begin with the palm facing up and rotate the gripper to face down, then rotate back up to the starting position. Repeat for 8-10 repetitions, then switch hands.
b. Isometric Pinch Grip: Place two grippers together and attempt to pinch them together using only your thumb and fingers. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 repetitions, with short breaks in between.
It's important to remember that gradual progression is key when starting any exercise routine. Start with exercises suitable for your fitness level and gradually increase the intensity as your grip strength improves. Remember to warm up your hands and stretch your fingers and forearms before attempting any hand gripper exercises to prevent injuries.
