Grip Strength: How to Close Heavy Duty Hand Grippers, Lift Thick Bar Weights, and Pinch Grip Just About Anything Kindle Edition

The book is filled with such invaluable advice for such a cheap price. The book goes through such depth in the progressions, recovery, nutritional advice, training pitfalls, and more. This is a must as a addition to any athlete or strength enthusiast to their library. I enjoy the book so much that I bought the hard cover after reading the book on Kindle. I will use as a reference for rehabbing old injuries and building super strength in the future. Thanks for putting out such quality material.

In terms of the information provided, this is a great book.The author describes, in good detail, the types of exercises one should use. Also described, are the number of sets, reps, and suggested workout plans. The suggestions for additional material to read on the subjects discussed is also a bonus.I also liked that, although this book obviously was written to discuss Iron Mind products, others are mentioned and discussed in a fair and objective manner. It also discusses the construction of several home made pieces of equipment in great detail. As an avid DIY person, I love when books show me things I can make as opposed to buying them. Then I get the fun of building AND using the equipment.There are only two reasons I am not giving this five stars.1. While there are some diagrams and pictures, there needed to be more. While the author does a very good job of explaining things, pictures and diagrams are always helpful. Though I will say the ones that are present are of good quality and explain the material.2. The editing on the book. I'm not typically one to nitpick on grammar. My spelling is terrible (were it not for spell check), and I do not use perfect grammar or punctuation. But there were several points in the book where the grammar used was distracting. Also there were several times where it seemed either pieces of information were cut out, or never included rendering the information that was there a tad confusing. These came across as editing errors, and made the book seem a bit less professional.However, this was not the case for a good portion of the book so it only distracts some.Aside from those grips, the content is helpful. I have already progressed from using the Trainer grippers to the #1 and on good days the #1.5. I'll be ordering the #2 within the next month, and am happy with my progress.I would recommend this book to a friend.

Whether you’re an Olympic weightlifter or a person recovering from a hand injury this book is a must read. I personally read the book because I find that it is essential to life to have a strong grip. Also currently I feel like my grip disables me from lifting more weight in the gym. This book can teach anyone how to develop strong healthy hands.

This book really serves a niche market. Not too many people are interested in or care to focus solely on grip strength training. Grip strength for most people are just afterthought. I do have to say that by focusing and developing stronger hands, all my other lifts have improved a great deal.The primary focus on this book is on crushing grip strength ... such as closing a heavy duty gripper. Although it does briefly touch upon other hand strength aspects such as pinch grip, support grip, etc, it is really written with closing the gripper in mind. It is no doubt entertaining and motivating to read. The only thing I wish was they include a little more photos. Majority of this book is text base.Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

Good book. This book on grip strength could benefit from the help of a good editor and readability would improve with employment of an updated format, typeface and color pictures (all of which can be done economically these days), however, there are many gems within the covers and a serious student of strength training will undoubtedly enjoy and value this book. I would buy an updated version if it employed those revisions, added color illustrations of relevant muscles and tendons and provided additional strategies to improve performance. Additionally, chapters on forearm and wrist training would be very welcomed.

Overall the information in this book is just OK. To me it is much like if one of the guys off the street decided to re hash info from a few of the pros. I ordered this book with a set of Captains of Crush Grippers, straight out of the box I closed the #3, but just couldn't get close on the #4 so I was hoping to get some great coaching from these Gents. Well... All I can say is this is pretty good, but for what I am after it is just OK.

Got Kindle version. I love the book and plan on doing everything it says. my only complaint is that, while there are pictures, it would be helpful of there were more of them. Some of the explanations were a little confusing and i had to go online to see what to do. Not too big a deal, though.

A very good book if you are interested in grip strength training.If you have no books or knowledge on the subject, I would start here, with this book.If you already have any of John Brookfield's books, I wouldn't bother with getting this one; there are a couple of new/different exercises in here though, so if you want absolutely every little idea and exercise and machine idea, go ahead and get this one too. I certainly don't regret buying this.

Great little book. I am a veteran of grip training (thick bar, Blobs, grippers etc) and thoroughly enjoyed this book still. If you are new to grip it will give you a good understanding of the various disciplines, with training suggestions. If you are experienced you will hopefully appreciate it and find it interesting, even if you think you know it all already! Robert Spindler has put it together and included some of Tommy Heslep's ideas and feats of strength as examples.There is a good section on grippers, with a focus on the 'Credit Card Set' certification and great explanation on how the rules changed and why, as well as bits and bobs on home made equipment.Its not a definitive guide, but thorough enough. Like I said, I love grip and I wasn't disappointed at all.I have seen it advertised for a while and debated over buying it in case I thought the info was 'old hat' to me. Its less than £8! Similar books will cost you £20. Books like this often have a tendency to disappear from publication, then you see them crop up for £45 or more later on. Hope this helps.

Good
