Wanting to deadlift the weight of a small elephant but your grip strength is letting you down?
Well have no fear Bone idol fitness is here!
A good and cheap way to improve your grip and work your forearms is to use a weight clip,those annoying things you put onto barbells to stop the weight plates from slipping off.
At the end of your work out squeeze a clip in your hand as hard as you can and hold it for two seconds and then do your over hand or be a complete renegade and do both hands at once!
Cheaper than that £3.99 grip strengthener you had your eye on.
You can use a foam wrap to put on your bar to make it thicker and therefore make your grip work harder, wear gloves or rub your hands with chalk, plus you princesses can try and avoid unsightly calluses
You could also hang from a pull bar for as long as you can ,keep track of how long you last and try to beat your record next time!
Another way to improve your grip strength is to do Farmers Walks with really heavy dumb bells and get a leg work out to boot!
Don't worry I won't tell your mates you worked your legs, you were only working on your grip to boost your bench!
Just be careful when you are in full roid rage mode and decide to choke slam the chump who dares to knock over your protein shake because your now vice like grip will surely crush their wind pipe as if it was a paper cup.
