Grip training

Tim Ferriss and his guests have discussed various methods for training grip strength effectively:

1. Carrying Grippers: Pavel Tsatsouline recommends carrying grippers with you throughout the day. Use them whenever you feel like it to train your grip. This method avoids making you sweaty and is convenient to integrate into your daily routine 1.

2. Farmer's Carries and Dead Hangs: Dr. Peter Attia suggests incorporating exercises like farmer's carries and dead hangs into your workout routine. These exercises are effective for building grip strength by requiring you to hold and manage heavy weights over time 2.

3. Hex Bar Deadlifts: Ryan Flaherty emphasizes the importance of proper hand alignment and grip during hex bar deadlifts. This exercise not only works your grip due to the positioning of the handles but also engages your overall skeletal muscle system 3.
