What happens when powerlifting grip strength meets a world champion grip competitor?
Most people think grip strength is just about closing grippers or hanging from a bar. In reality, grip is built through years of heavy deadlifts, fat-bar training, carries, rows, and direct hand work. In this video, you’ll see how that training stacks up against a world-class grip specialist as we put hand strength to the test.
The combination of deadlifts, thick bars, and the Wenning Grip Machine has been a cornerstone of my training for developing stronger hands, forearms, and pulling power. Whether you’re a powerlifter, strongman, athlete, or just want a stronger grip, dedicated hand training pays dividends across nearly every lift.
Train the hands. Strengthen the chain. Improve performance.
