How often do you do grip work?

[WantNoFatAssHo!]

Isolated grip work that is. IronMind recomends two or three times a week, but wouldnt you get overtrained *really* fast if you went to failure on all the sets two or three times a week?

My progress in grip strenght is slowing down a lot now, after a good initial gain. (Which could be better nerve connectors and technique as much as strenght...) And I traing my grip only once a week.

Whould I do it more often?

I do grip work on my right forearm every day, but I have been married a long time.

Do it more often and don't go to failure.

"Do it more often and don't go to failure. "

That I will do.

What kind of exercises do you do, mr. ZZuluZ? And how close to failure should I go?

Bar Hangs, Static holds, Reverse curls are about it for direct forearm work.

How far from failure I go depends on what my volume/recuperation/frequency is.
