You are as Strong as your weakest link part 2
www.hugebicepstips.com
Hi,
This is the second part to my first newsletter with the same title. To recap
a little, you are as strong as your weakest link, which in most cases is
the grip and forearm strength.
In the last newsletter, I gave you some simple grip and forearm training
exercises that you can do with your current training program.
The best training protocol that you should be following is the Push-pull
method of training. This style of training will help sky-rocket your muscle
& strength gains through the roof. This style of training combined with
grip and forearm work will give you such improved strength and muscle development
you will be saying: "why didn't I do this before?"
Now, for those who do not know what the push-pull training method is, I will
explain in brief. It is a training method where the athlete groups all the
pushing muscles together for one training session and groups all the pulling
muscles for the other training session leaving the Leg training portion of
the routine by itself. It may sound simple and the grouping of these muscles
are simple, but the intensity techniques needed to execute this routing successfully
are not. Go to www.muscle4mass.com to see the Mass Building Course for complete
details.
I am going to give you some additional forearm and grip training exercises to be
added to what I previously gave you. With this arsenal of exercises to perform
you will never get bored or run out of movements for your grip and forearm
training.
Keep in mind that you should start your grip & forearm training with grip
work first and then the forearm training.
The Exercises - -
1) Grip machine.
2) CAPTINS of Crush Grippers.
3) Plate pinches.
4) Hanging grips.
5) Farmers walk & carry with dumbbells or Kettle Bells.
6) Towel Pulls or chin-ups.
7) Wrist curls on bench.
8) Reverse wrist curls on bench.
9) Reverse barbell curls.
10) Wrist roller.
11) Static contraction Dead-Lifts.
12) Use thick bars when training pulling muscles.
Well, there you have it. There will be more on this topic in a future newsletter.

until next time, Keep Hanging and Banging.
Yours in health,

Hi,
As the title of this newsletter states "You are as Strong as your weakest link".
In many cases the weakest link that exists with many weight training athletes
are grip and forearm strength.
Many lifters leave their grip and forearm training for last in their training
only to perform a couple of sets of wrist curls and call it a day.
When you are training your biceps or your back, the gripping strength is
usually the first to go. If you have a weak grip then you are short changing
your back and bicep development.
Many lifters make the mistake of using lifting straps. Boy that is a real
mistake. Again, you are short changing your natural grip strength when you
use lifting straps.
You must make it a point to train your grip and forearms separate as well
as together with your regular training.
I am going to give you a routine that you can begin doing along with some
equipment recommendations.
When you start training your grip and forearms, begin with your grip training
first.
Perform the following:
1) 2-3 sets on Hand gripper. Use the Trainer gripper. (See ironmind.com for a
selection of grippers).
2) 2-3 sets on the plate load grip machine.
3) 2-3 sets on the hanging from chinning bar grip-ups.
4) 2 sets of Eagle Loop chins. (See ironmind.com for Eagle loops).
5) 3 sets of wrist curls supersetted with One Wicked Wrist Roller™ wrist rolling
device. (See ironmind.com for One Wicked Wrist Roller™ Devise).
6) 3 sets of reverse wrist curl supersetted with One Wicked Wrist Roller™.
7) 2 sets of Heavy Hammer II Leverage Bar curls. (See ironmind.con for
Heavy Hammer II Leverage Bar).
This routine is to be performed alone from any other body parts. This is your
specialized grip and forearm routine.
When training on you regular routine perform the following:
1) On Back and Biceps day use thick handle bars for curling and rowing.
If you do not have access to thick handle bars you can make your own. Go to
a hardware store and purchase pipe insulation foam. Cut the foam to
the appropriate size and put it on the sleeves of the bar. Do the same for
the dumbbells. Now you have thick handles for your training.
Use these for your wrist curls as well.
Put this routine to work and let me know how you improve on all your lifts.

Well, until next time, Keep Hanging and Banging.
