Got a question via e mail and wanted to share this bad boy….

Question: I own a small gym in St Louis and have recently added a few thick bars to my collection.  I had a new member ask me an interesting question the other day, he wanted to know what muscles were benefiting from using a thick bar that would not benefit by using a regular size bar.  He also asked if you only used the thick bar would that hurt him in the long run because he is a pitcher and a quarterback on his high school team.  I told him that I would ask someone with more knowledge than I had on the subject.

Please help

miked-sledpull2.JPGAt The Underground Strength Gymnasium we hold regular competitions amongst the members. These are unannounced battles and they really hype up the crew at hand to step it up. Noone likes to lose and sometimes a loss exposes their weak area(s) and makes them work smarter AND harder towards filling those gaps.

 Our last contest was a pull up contest. The winners received a Captains of Crush Hand Gripper.

Pull ups are like squats for the upper body. They’re amazing at developing strength and adding muscle to your back, shoulders, biceps, forearms and they strengthen the hands as well. We never use straps to aid the grip.

I can not announce my next contest because my clients visit my Blog regularly. I can assure you it will be VERY challenging and much more brutal than the simple pull up contest. The winner will have to earn his prize this time through a brutal gut busting effort.

I’ll keep you posted on this next competition, it should be in a few weeks :)

The prize for our first contest was the Captains of Crush Gripper, and rightfully so. I know that when the hands become stronger the rest of the body becomes stronger.

Stronger hands will improve their pull up strength, increase deadlift strength and yes, it will even improve pressing strength in movements such as the military press and bench press. When the hands can wrap tightly around a barbell, or any object, and crush it tightly, the entire body tenses and strength now becomes a full body effort, not just an isolated effort from one or a few muscle groups.

I suggest you start working your hands twice a week. Work them hard and heavy and watch the rest of your strength increase. Two of my favorite exercises are Hex Dumbbell Holds and hand over hand sled pulls with a thick rope.

If you want to learn more exercises, methods and workouts to use for explosing your grip and hand strength then check out what 11 hard core strength coaches put together in this Beast of an e book: http://GripExperts.com

Stay strong!

I was 13 years old, my Dad was getting the big set of stairs in front of our house rebuilt.

I used to run up and down those 32 stairs back in high school after they were built, after I ran my 4 or 5 mile wrestling run.

The guy who built the stairs was named Americo. He was a shorter guy, maybe 5’6″, but I still remember the day he was
showing my Dad the different bricks and stones which could be used for the stairs.

Americo’s hands looked like big meat hooks, his forearms were massive and muscular with veins running up and down them, and his biceps were rock solid.

I had been working out for only 2 or 3 months at this time, and seeing Americo’s arms, hands and forearms really sent a message home. It was that day I knew how impressive and intimidating it was to sport a pair of rugged, muscular hands, forearms and biceps.

That was 19 years ago, and I still remember it like yesterday.

Those hands, forearms and biceps didn’t get big doing a whole lot pencil pushing and in today’s speak, this means that sitting behind the key board and lifting small weights won’t cut it either.

There are many paths one can take when developing the hands and forearms, and the best thing is that when you strengthen your hands and grip you strengthen the rest of your body. I’ve seen this happen every single time, without fail.

You will NEVER find a man with a powerful grip to have a weak body.

You can also see the story of how I met a guy with freakishly strong hands and forearms who put my buddy and I to shame over at http://GripExperts.com

This guys name is Tony, and he doesn’t work out at a gym, ever, instead, he works at a tire yard.

Tires, barbells, kettlebells – they’re all weights. But when you put together the correct recipe,
it spells serious success for you in the strength game.

Check the story out plus a  photo of “Tony” over at http://GripExperts.com

In Strength,

Zach
