In this article I will try to detail some different gripper techniques and some different workout tactics. This is by no means a concrete guide to working with grippers, just some insight from a few years of training.</p><p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">You do not have to have many grippers to be good at grippers. Joe Kinney (the first man to officially close <a href="http://www.ironmind.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">Ironmind’s</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>#4 Gripper) had, I think, a #3 and a #4. He had some other homemade equipment including a grip machine that he worked with, but only 2 grippers. Having several different gripper strengths will allow you to progress faster in my opinion. Just like lifting weight, say you can Squat 445lbs and all the plates you have are 100’s. So you can squat 245, 445, or 645, now 245 will give you a good workout, but unless you are doing high reps, not much else challenging can be done. 445 is your max, and how many times can you go after a max squat in a week? Then, 645 would crush you like a can under a car, so it is useless. You need a variety of plate poundage. Having a Trainer, #1, #2and #3 is a standard I think, having a Super Master, a couple of Elites, maybe a Super Elite, and a #4 and you have everything you need. Again, you certainly do not have to have this set-up, but it is nice. (Note: Super Master, Elite, and Super Elite can be purchased from Wade Gillingham at www.grippersuperstore.com)</p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Read the rest of this article</span> <a href="http://farmstrength.wordpress.com/2011/03/22/heath-sexton-on-training-grippers/">here</a></p><p><a href="http://s982.photobucket.com/albums/ae310/StCloudStrength/?action=view&current=135FrontSquat-0000677.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 399px; height: 224px;" src="http://i982.photobucket.com/albums/ae310/StCloudStrength/135FrontSquat-0000677.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a></p><p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Now that we have video analysis software I'm debating changing our gym name to "The St. Cloud Institute for Human Performance" since we will be conducting research.

Second, they do not require any extra skills, making them a possible form of exercise/weight training for anyone. Third, the results of consistent push ups are visible after a relatively short period of time. Aside from these obvious benefits of push ups, there a number of non-obvious reasons you should consider adding them to your routine.</p><section class="Module body FLC" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; display: block; clear: both;"><section style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; display: block;"></section></section></span><ol id="intelliTxt" class="generic" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:inherit;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;" ><li class="section" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-type: none;"><h2 class="header Heading3" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-style: inherit; font-size: 21px; font-family: Georgia; vertical-align: baseline;">Full Body Workout</h2><ul style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><li class="step" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; clear: left; list-style-type: none; float: left;"><div class="stepMeat" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><div itemprop="step" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><p style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.4;">Many people don't realize just how many parts of the body a push up affects. But, when you break down the physics of a push up, you get a better picture of how beneficial they are for your entire body. For example, push ups work your fingers and hands, biceps, triceps, shoulders and forearms, upper and lower back and even your abdominal muscles. In addition, they strengthen your leg muscles, including your hamstrings, quads and calves.</p></div></div></li></ul></li></span></ol><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: left;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;" ><span style="margin: 0px;
