I'm an 8 year electrician, always using tools constantly throughout each and every day. I don't workout at all, but I can tell that I have a strong handshake above average. I wonder what I'd be at now without any exercise, super curious. Probably no where near what I'd expect but this would be a fun thing to train while watching shows and stuff. You've got me intrigued!
@@GyroTheDino Depends on your location but here in Texas, where labor is cheaper. Non-union $26-32/hour, and if you're union, $32.5/hour set wage for all electricians. Both have their perks, don't think one is better over the other. Once you're an electrician, if you have drive and motivation, you can branch out to more technical parts of the field that pay much more. PLC/Motor control/Instrumental work is 40+/hour. POCO is 48+/hour once you complete your apprenticeship. Become an electrician first, learn electrical before you branch out. Two solid ways to get in. Either go to your local IBEW (union) and get interviewed, or go to your local IEC or whatever non-union school is in your area and put in your resume there. It doesn't mean you have to go to school (although most companies will pay for it if you want to go to school. If you go the Union route it's mandatory, non-union it's not), it's just the gate way into companies finding out that you want to become an electrician, and you'll start getting the phone calls for interviews. Most companies are affiliated with your local school, it's how they find people. Those 2 ways are your absolute best options. Also if you just walk into electrical companies asking if they're hiring, this would also work just fine. But the other 2 options are easier and solid ways of getting in. I'm non-union, and work for a service shop. We do just about everything, it's a good place to start and learn. Union you'll be doing more ground-up construction and it can get repetitive, but not always. Don't think too hard about either one, both are equally good. Just don't find yourself getting stuck bending pipe for a year. If so, move on. As an apprentice you want to put yourself in a place that allows you to work a variety of things, that won't get too repetitive. This will set you up for the greatest future possible as an electrician. Good luck.
for the Captains of Crush grippers (which are one of the most legit gripper companies), I believe the starting recommendation for people who do manual labor is try starting at level 2, whereas the regular person should start at either 0.5 or level 1 (and they have "trainer" below that for people rehabbing or with really weak strength). For comparison, the guy in this video can probably now do 2.5, and they go up to level 4. Each jump is pretty huge in difficulty though. It's such a big leap that they have intermediate grippers because even someone who can do multiple reps on one may not even get close on the next full level up.
@@GyroTheDino work your ass off for the 4-6 years that all your friends are in college and learn everything about the electrical trade. Then take your talents and start your own business bro. You’ll be way better off then anyone that went to college
I think the issue is grip is such a complex function and using just a single tool to accomplish this is a bit hard. Doing lifts and pull ups with a thick bar or rice bucket workout really works good.
grippers improve only crushing grip strength. i have some grip tools to imrpove pinch grip. yes the things you said improve grip Strength. i agree for overall grip Strength you cant use grippers only
@@TheOneWhodDraw yeah,it only improves your forearm because it only uses those muscles. But having a strong grip can be useful in the Dead Lift and other exercises that use the forearm too,like biceps curl for example.
Yep I've been doing martial arts and strongman training for over 2 decades on and off and man not till I got into grip strength and grippers and isometric training did I see my forearms and punching power and strength take off big time. I've been into grip training now my friend for about 1yr 6 months or so. So I can imagine the benefits of 3 years of grip training😎💪💪. Looking real strong! I also got into ironmind blockbuster pinch block lifts
@@gm836 idk either but maybe them grippers in the video, carrying dumbbells only using fingers, pull-ups off fingers, trying to squeeze soemthing which you can’t
I closed a 300lb. HG for 1 rep a couple years ago. Wish I had gotten it on video. WOW did it light my forearm tendons up from all the training. Hoping to get back to that level someday as I am pretty well rehabed from it now. Good to see someone else post their progress(& success). Not alot of grip strength videos out there. I know its a few months old but if you read this thank you for posting this!
Awesome Kris. Grip strength and training with grippers wrist rollers does so much for overall strength its unbelievable. I can one arm dead lift 150 lbs as if its nothing. And I'm doing 55-80 lbs with ironmind blockbuster pinch block one arm deadlifts. Working on closing a strong 3 around 155-160 plus rgc. And two 3.5s and a monster 179 rgc ghp8 and a 172 rgc hg350. Definitely sub my channel and join grip discussions. Alot of grip and strongman discussions be going on my channel. Grip strength / strongman training is awesome
thanks for the motivation king, I'm also struggling to form forearms. it's only been running for 3 months and only got 120lbs handgrips. I hope in the future I can be like you
Definitely inspirational! Thanks for posting. I do something similar, but I also hang by one arm for time. The helps to balance the effects of using grippers. And Iron Mind make a set of graded rubber bands if you want to train the opposite muscles. If people can't get these, use one or more Post Office bands. I put them around fingers and thumb, at the nail level, then slowly widen out. Last, I think hand and forearm training is critical for men as they get older, too.
Never realized theres So many terms and tools for training forearms. Whats a good gripper to start? For someone who doesn't train grip, i think i have decent grip, bmx my whole life and weight lift pretty strong on and off 10 years.
i think you wanted to write that not as reply.anyways, if i was you i would get a gripper like ivanko super gripper. i have a similar one they are very value for money you have plenty of ressistance combinations so there will always be a spring setting to be your goal.
@@mr.tanalakis Sweet thanks! I just ordered one. I think it will help a lot, i notice during certain exercises like shrugs and deadlifts and stuff my forearms fatigue before anything sometimes. Thanks for sharing

Congrats man! Thats a beautiful work... I've been working out my body for 5 years now and never forgot about legs and forearms. Thats an awesome build!
Ive closed a coc 2.5. Never really went hard training grippers but im gonna start hitting more grip to help my bench press soon and hopefully hit the 2.5 for reps. Great video, thanks for the free motivation
closing a 2.5 needs serious crushing grip strength. it took me about 1.5 year to close it and i trained Hard with grippers. you have good crushing grip strength genetics if you could close it without a lot of training. 💪
I got inspired from this video. I ordered a hand gripper of 40kgs a few days back and just got it today and I’ve been using it non-stop and I can already feel my arm muscles getting quite tight. Thanks a bunch!
This makes me wish I brought my CoC with me overseas. Haven't used them in perhaps a decade. I remember closing #2, but prob have to go back to training mode grippers. Nice progress!
I find it to intriguing that there are gym people that train grip too. I'm a aerialist and the only thing keeping us attached to the apparatus at all is our grip strength. I haven't heard anyone outside of the aerial community be this serious about grip gains, it's nice to see! Grip is incredibly important and passed over by most "gym" people.
I can recommend the Ivanko gripper. Adjustable to loads of different weights, and you can get a chart to tell you what spring positions correspond to the weights.
@@Lanuzos If sufficient weight is used, yes. It becomes more difficult just to hold onto the bar especially with the upward motion the further you go into the set.
Solid work! Try wrist rollers and hammer curls for more forearm work! Good friend recommended those to me, since they helped improve his forearm growth and grip strength.
When I was a youngster my friend and I would always carry an hand gripper and we would use it all day long, while walking, in the subway, on the bus till the point we wouldn't feel our forearm. We where both thin as hell but our grip were (and stayed) super strong, to the point when I started lifting weight some years ago my forearms were dominants with a biceps/forearms ratio of 4cm which is excellent. I have a 150lbs and 200lbs gripper now, I almost never use them unfortunately but I just tried the 200lbs to see if I could still close it and I still close it for a couple reps lol. Those COC grippers are great, but they can be damaging for tendons so you have to go up the weight ladder gradualy!
There is always one father, uncle or grandfather in the family who can break your hand with ease by shaking your hand ... in the video you see another one.
been doing Hand grip training with 200lbs Heavy Grip ,now able to close 6-7 times continously. Bought 300lbs hand gripper recently and damn it is hard as a rock. Just been able to close it half way but not touch. Hope Soon I can do it.
I started using hand grippers again to cut down on the time for my workouts . I am doing a clean and press in my training and curls for the bicep so my though is I am already getting some activation in my foreamrs training those lifts so I would just do handgrippers at the end of my workout to burn them out , and I think it will work my forearms get pumped .
My grip in my right hand is better than my left hand. I do a specific workout usually prior to sleeping while only using my right hand, takes about 5 minutes, requires some strengthening lube and a sports disposable towel.
I'm in this journey too! Recently i became almost useless for an entire year bc of tendonitis, and forearm exercises and medic checkups (for inflamatory Control) make me back to normal, right now im around 30kg, wich is a little bit low, but for me is impressive bc my forearm was as solid as a jelly in the old days lol
Hey bro, I had pretty minor biceps tendonitis and it was a bitch to work around. Now I’m progressing better than ever with my pulls. Wish you the best with your recovery :)
I do forearms 10 to 20 sets a week on my pull days alternating between dumbells and pulleys ( extensions, CURLS, supernation, pronation, and ulna/ radial deviation) however I also do hand grippers 3-5 sets 3 days a week all to failure. I def recommend for bigger stronger forearms.
@@SgtAndrewM all exercises to failure or at most 1-2 reps in reserve but I specifically favor the 8-12 rep range. Hand grippers are different because you can get way more reps out of them. With my current ones im at about 70 reps per hand per set. Once I get to 100 I'll probably start looking for hand grippers with a higher resistance.
1:28 I have heard this song plenty of times before, and I just noticed that the singer sounds just like Tobi from The Sidemen! I can see Tobi singing that in my head lol. xD
I picked up the same brand to test my grip strength as I run full body 3x a week. Considering replacing bicep exercises with grip training. This was a cool video thank you for sharing!!
Do an underhand grip on one of your back movements and replace the isolated bicep work with grip work, then you still get the bicep gains and get grip gains
Craftsmen are getting this for free 😉Didnt knew there are heavy grippers, not to mention a whole comunity. Grip strenght is always good, keep going guys.
@@mr.tanalakis what are you favorite brands of gripper my brother. So far mr tanalakis I'm a big fan of captains of crush and ghp grippers and then the GD90 and then heavy grips grippers💪👍😎
@@shel0016 i didnt get notification i was reading comments and found it. captains of crush are my favorite i like the knurling, i had ghp 7 but knurling was to sharp for me
That's awesome bro, I have a lighter weight grip trainer (60 kg) so I do between 3 and 6 sets of 30 reps every day/every couple days, depending on how tired the tendons are feeling lmao Let's see what happens in a couple years!
hand grip rly does build forarm, i was doing a grip strength competition with my freind at schoola nd we both have pretty good grip strength but i was determined not to lose so we went on for like 20 minutes and when we finally decided to call it a tie my forearm was huge and pumped
Good grip is what makes a big part of monkeys species, especially humans, and It seems really useful for everyday life to have strong grip. It is the first video I see of you but I will check more become I want to have that strength and potentially strength durability in my forearms. Road to Popeye
For grip strength i use olympic loading pin which can be bought on Amazon, basicallly a T bar with ring for handle attachments. To my knowledge this is best way to train grip, multiple handle types and you can easily see the weight you are holding onto, highly adjustable unlike hand gripper, but less convenient.
Another really effective way to increase your grip strength size is by doing a skilled trade as a hobby. For example, woodworking with hand tools, blacksmithing, leather working, etc. I have several family and friends who do skilled trades for careers and hobbies, and I have watched them pick people up one-handed when they're joking around and having fun Climbing's also really good for grip strength. If you'd like an example, check out Magnus Mitbø's channel
I've been into grip training since I was young, my uncle used to inspire me with his Popeye forearms..had myself thinking that I could tear apart a telephone book😄 he had the old school grips, wooden joints with the springs. He would start me out with one spring, then I'll work my strength up.
lets shake hands
It is my honor.
You better hold the pain!

@@jamesbrown99991 chill tough guy
Hey bro, I had pretty minor biceps tendonitis and it was a bitch to work around. Now I’m progressing better than ever with my pulls. Wish you the best with your recovery :)
Mans forearms unflexed looks like mine after a pump trying my best to flex them.
gg's man hard work payed off well
Me thinking those things my dad had wasn't actually stress relievers like my mom said...
Proud of this guy
Whenever I need motivation to train my forearms I'll come back here ^^
Keep it up king.
Impressive !
I do forearms 10 to 20 sets a week on my pull days alternating between dumbells and pulleys ( extensions, CURLS, supernation, pronation, and ulna/ radial deviation) however I also do hand grippers 3-5 sets 3 days a week all to failure. I def recommend for bigger stronger forearms.
Your arms are beast
@@mastertrey4683 thanks 💪🏾
Ur arms🤤🤤
how many reps did you do?
@@SgtAndrewM all exercises to failure or at most 1-2 reps in reserve but I specifically favor the 8-12 rep range. Hand grippers are different because you can get way more reps out of them. With my current ones im at about 70 reps per hand per set. Once I get to 100 I'll probably start looking for hand grippers with a higher resistance.
See how long you can hold a coin by pinching it with your gripper. That’s always a fun game to make your friends sad with lol
I love videos like these. Keep it up!
You got a beast grip.
Good work, you are a real life Popeye :D
1:28 I have heard this song plenty of times before, and I just noticed that the singer sounds just like Tobi from The Sidemen! I can see Tobi singing that in my head lol. xD
Imagine getting a handshake with this guy
Question: is 90kg of force enough to break a hand? If so, im scared.
@@moi-tripa probably
This actually works, I’ve been doing these for the past weeks and my hands are stronger and faster
now I am so motivated broooooo thankssssss 😁
I'd be interested to see how that superior grip strength would translate to a grappling focused martial arts system. I would think quite well!
I picked up the same brand to test my grip strength as I run full body 3x a week. Considering replacing bicep exercises with grip training. This was a cool video thank you for sharing!!
do both
Do an underhand grip on one of your back movements and replace the isolated bicep work with grip work, then you still get the bicep gains and get grip gains
Don't settle or replace one, do both because they do go hand in hand
@@GrenadeLauncherYT time restraints
If u want to get stronger then maybe yea, but if u want to BUILD muscles and be bigger u shouldnt just replace that.
Craftsmen are getting this for free 😉Didnt knew there are heavy grippers, not to mention a whole comunity. Grip strenght is always good, keep going guys.
Holy shit the flex was amazing
cool video man!
what brand/resistance would you recommend for a complete beginner?
i started with an adjustable gripper 0-40kg and after i was doing a lot of reps with max setting i bought an 150lbs gripper.
@@mr.tanalakis what are you favorite brands of gripper my brother.
So far mr tanalakis I'm a big fan of captains of crush and ghp grippers and then the GD90 and then heavy grips grippers💪👍😎
@@shel0016 i didnt get notification i was reading comments and found it. captains of crush are my favorite i like the knurling, i had ghp 7 but knurling was to sharp for me
That's awesome bro, I have a lighter weight grip trainer (60 kg) so I do between 3 and 6 sets of 30 reps every day/every couple days, depending on how tired the tendons are feeling lmao
Let's see what happens in a couple years!
how are the gains going my guy?
3 months
bravo! nice arm
hand grip rly does build forarm, i was doing a grip strength competition with my freind at schoola nd we both have pretty good grip strength but i was determined not to lose so we went on for like 20 minutes and when we finally decided to call it a tie my forearm was huge and pumped
Good grip is what makes a big part of monkeys species, especially humans, and It seems really useful for everyday life to have strong grip. It is the first video I see of you but I will check more become I want to have that strength and potentially strength durability in my forearms. Road to Popeye
For grip strength i use olympic loading pin which can be bought on Amazon, basicallly a T bar with ring for handle attachments. To my knowledge this is best way to train grip, multiple handle types and you can easily see the weight you are holding onto, highly adjustable unlike hand gripper, but less convenient.
i also have a loading pin and some grip handles they work. good with grippers for overall grip
Bro amazon link please
You hella strong brother
Want more real transformations like this💪
Another really effective way to increase your grip strength size is by doing a skilled trade as a hobby. For example, woodworking with hand tools, blacksmithing, leather working, etc. I have several family and friends who do skilled trades for careers and hobbies, and I have watched them pick people up one-handed when they're joking around and having fun
Climbing's also really good for grip strength. If you'd like an example, check out Magnus Mitbø's channel
I've been into grip training since I was young, my uncle used to inspire me with his Popeye forearms..had myself thinking that I could tear apart a telephone book😄 he had the old school grips, wooden joints with the springs. He would start me out with one spring, then I'll work my strength up.
That's great for 3 years.
Pretty impressive
