Are Grippers a Waste of Your Time
Grippers – Are You Wasting Your Time?
In many of my videos and DVD’s, I have said that Gripper Training is a waste of time.
This is a statement that catches many people by surprise when they hear me say it, since I do Gripper Training on a regular basis.
After about the 50th time getting asked what I mean by this, I decided to put together a quick video to explain.
Why Grippers are a Waste of Time
Then You Want Grip Training for MMA Athletes:

As you can see, sometimes Grippers ARE a Waste of Your Time.
Naturally, if your objective is to close big grippers just for the sake of closing big grippers, then you NEED to train grippers, and you need to train them the right way.
If you want to maximize your Gripper Training, then you need these resources:

CRUSH – Total Gripper Domination: The Video Encyclopedia of Gripper Training Technique and Crushing Strength Development. If your gripper technique is lacking, there’s no drill that will help you get to your ultimate gripper goal. This video will make sure you’re doing everything right.

Cadence Based Training: This is an 8-week Gripper Training program that works by helping you strengthen the entire range of motion of the gripper sweep. The drills in the CBT program will help you strengthen your set, improve your sweep, and ensure that you’re strong enough to finish off your goal gripper.
My hope is that the information in this post will help you get the best results from your training, and maximize your training time as well as possible.
Thanks and all the best in your training.
