Hand Grip Training Working The Forearm Extensors

[chocoboblue99]

I'm trying this now. Anyone know how long it will take to see improvement with wrist tendinitis or tennis elbow?

Going to try to do this once or twice a day, every day

[leemhayward]

@chocoboblue99

It depends on how back your tendinitis is, but you could see improvement within a couple weeks of doing this regularly.

[abdulmoeedkhan1988]

uploader i want to ask from you that hand grippers are good for weak elbow & tendons?

[leemhayward]

@abdulmoeedkhan1988

Yes, training with heavy grippers is great for building up the tendons of the forearms and can help with tendonitis issues.

[elgoose2003]

im your same height why is that you foramrs look longer than mines?

[leemhayward]

@elgoose2003

Everyone one has a different body structure. You can have longer or shorter limbs compared to someone else even if you are both the same height. It's just genetics.

[respeezy]

I am trying the rubber band thing now , it actually feels quite good.

Any recommendation on how often to do this?

Hope this will make the whole tennis elbow go away.

Thanks for the video and if we were in prison i would definitely protect you in the shower.

[leemhayward]

@respeezy

You can do this everyday, but if your fingers or joints feel sore, just take a day or two off from doing this and then resume later.

[FlyingGold]

omg next thing you know there's gonna be a video on how to train your little toe

[SiRROUND]

Where was that band going in the end???

[DudeBrahMan]

I'm confused. my fingers can't wrap around it when I move it up to the knuckles, so I use my other hand to close it for me. the part that's confusing me is what do I do from there? I grip it, and when I release the grip, I can't even go that far because i'll just lose the grip and have to set it again using my free hand.

[mcrolla102]

wow steve-o got buff

[5alamander]

Love 'em! Portable and effective.

[MrPhoneshare]

sound good :) my mom had to do an operation for her tennis elbow

[canucksallday]

This makes your forearm stronger which makes you punch harder. I got in a fight yesterday and cracked someones jaw. They dropped to the ground and I stomped on their head. I just get really angry now. When I was a kid I used to be so calm. I don't know what has happened to me.

[MrMikeyboy1002]

@canucksallday I know what happened, you were dreaming but then you woke up to post on youtube.

[yohowruman]

@canucksallday cool story bro

[KnightCrawler2]

great videos!

[maresindikalac]

why not just do pull ups for balance?

[1xrvm1x]

i got some of those for christmas lol

[Daligang]

@1xrvm1x Lol, Hint-Hint

[SoxStar89]

But will this make tennis elbow go away :( i have it and its so painfull!

[leemhayward]

@SoxStar89

Yes, this can certainly help treat tennis elbow.

[Kranen5]

@leemhayward Hey lee, cant you upload a video about forearm training? would love to get tips for some new great exercises :)

[khalsasikh]

does thick bar training or training with block weight carry over into closing the tougher grippers like the COC #3 and #4? I mean like training with the Inch Dumbell or BLOB?

[leemhayward]

@khalsasikh

Absolutely, any form of grip training will help carry over into getting stronger on the hand grippers.

[TOWinkworthIpswich]

Thanks man.

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

does it help with punching?

[wikki11]

@ThePunjabdholi123456

Hm...maybe not much as the bicep and tricep. but anyway with a strong grip you can crush bones XD

[aaronanthony100]

Lee, your'e the best. I had nagging elbow tendonitis for 3 yrs. The heavy hand gripper really helped. This video demonstrated how to balance out the training. Thanks. Have you even had to deal with that or rotator cuff injuries?

[scriptonian]

this is VERY important. glad you are giving this advice

[WMH435]

Where are you from just wondring ?

[leemhayward]

@WMH435

Newfoundland Canada.

[WMH435]

@leemhayward Cool I'm from the same place

[chrisiztheman1618]

@leemhayward canada represent lol

[medees46]

i use the hand grips but i dont feel anything in my forearm? i dont know if it is a bit of a weak grip. will my forearm be getting a workout or do i need a grip where i can feel it in my forearm? thanks in advance of any advice.

[frapeschris]

@medees46 you can try some sets of wrist rollers.. Search it in youtube.

[thrashmetal1029]

do you just do it to failure?

[OSAKONT]

just do animal walks on the fingers and dont waste your time

[ilive4mydream]

hey man thanks a lot. that video helped me a lot for my hand grip

[eurohim]

If that works, wouldn't typing work? It would be like cardio for the extensors because you're always picking your fingers up and putting them down.

[MrMedigo]

@eurohim

"cardio for the extensors"

hahaha

[eurohim]

@MrMedigo You have to type reallllllllllly fast.

[zerodrago]

is there another way to train hand grip with out handgrips cause im to poor to afford them

[goodtimes616]

just hang from a chin-up bar or a branch...or do towel chin ups i find they are even better than grippers. Tearing large stacks of paper is also very good.

[1ScouserNProud1]

@goodtimes616 what a waste of paper lol

[elchoaro800]

@zerodrago Tennis ball.

[RAguru93]

i got some for 5 bucks at sports authority, not to expensive

[eurohim]

@zerodrago You can hang from a pole or something.

[murphy0847]

@zerodrago it's 5 bucks for a pair of plastic ones at a sporting goods store so go halves with some one if you have to

[peopleplz]

@zerodrago masturbate

[ProBoy25]

@zerodrago take 10 rubber bands and stretch it with one hand

[TazmanianFrenzy]

I use dual weapons (swords, staffs, etc.) I've been looking for a way to reduce the stress on my elbow for tendonitis. The band exercise looks like exactly what I need. Thank you for posting this.

[thebuttmusclessite]

great video !!

but how do i know when they are balanced ?? i want to start doing this exrcises but how would i know im not overdoing the flexors or maybe the extensors ???

[CallMeMrChainmail]

This is something I've been wondering myself. If we train our grip with heavy loads shouldn't we also train our extensors with heavy loads?

I've checked various articles on finger extensor training and no one seems to answer this question.

I think it's great leemhayward posted this vid.

[thecolaaddict]

Lol, I searched for hand grip and came across your video. Great work!! There was one thing you said though (too small of a rubber band, now), and as soon as you said it, I knew EXACTLY where you were from! Newfoundland FTW! Thanks for the tips!

[spoonman73]

Also, try opening and closing your hands as fast as possible for as long as possible. You will be amazed at how hard this is and the pump you will get.

[tan94319]

nice

[tigershav]

thanks

[angelusofdeath]

can anyone tell me where to buy those rubbers or how are they called? I looked @ amazon and ebay and all I got was hair rubbers and stuff like that. Please, I would really appreciate it

[AxiomaticObserver]

almost any type of rubberband will work, just make sure its not too big and make sure it doesnt break easily.

[mitchmitchell68]

looks like those stiff elastics that are used to close off glass pots in kitchens..(air tight locks to store stuff like vegs or fruits away))

[pronigga5546]

bro they are called handgrips, they are prity cheap

[donkman17]

ironmind. they're called expand-your-hand bands. pretty cheap and good quality. i've got a set of em.

[CallMeMrChainmail]

I was just looking at some of these, what's the heaviest poundage on the final band?

[tonemnster]

I discovered the rubber band exercises a few years ago. This virtually cured 20+ yrs of undiagnosed repetitive motion injuries I have from playing guitar. I used to have to stop playing for 6+ months at a time. I'm not cured, but w/maintennance, I can play regularly. I've returned to school to study music and I'm pursuing a career in it now. EXCELLENT post/advice.

[stevieVantanna]

check out the handmaster.

[greymy]

nice i think i'll try it

[samlovemetal]

So the rubber band would probably help the small extensors for opening finger, but would something with that little resistance really help with the muscles on top of your forearm?

[elSE3DY]

Yea, there are different strengths of elastic bands. I bought an asorted bag of elastic bands today loads of different of bands.

[RezDawg2584]

i all ways thought about the oposite of squessing but thanks for the tip i will definatly use it!!!

[losinit123]

Lee hope you can lift again soon.

[ph4rcyd3r]

good stuff daddy-o
