I will be blunt: one tool alone will not improve your grip strength. However, here is a handful from my personal collection and below I will give my pro/cons and overall feelings about each. For your information, these are not affiliate links or sponsorships; these are genuinely from my own personal collection of grip strength training tools. Keep reading if you want some serious suggestions!
My Personal Favorite: Prohands Gripmaster
These hand grippers were made for physical therapy and occupational therapy. However, Prohands offers a wide variety of these specialty grippers that vary in intensity. They feel lightweight, firm, and natural in the palm of your hands.
Pros:
- Incredible hand pump
- Ergonomic feel in hand
- Can do individual figures for each
- The design is masterful
Cons:
- Quite expensive ($30-$40 depending on where you buy)
- It’s not extremely durable — I have had the springs break often
For The Classic Gripper And Armwrestler
Honestly, for grip strength training for yourself and armwrestling, nothing is better than an original set of hand grippers. This classic armwrestling tool is a staple in your armwrestling training arsenal.
Pros:
- Affordable pricing for most models online
- Varies in intensity: 50lbs, all the way up to 350lbs or more, depending on where you buy
- Great hand pump
- Simple and easy to use
Cons:
- Grip is not extremely ergonomic and will cause palm pain if you use them a lot
- You don’t always feel as if you are training your ring and pinky finger
An Upgrade: Professional Hand Grip Strengthener
This almost looks like it jumped out of a strongman competition at a circus. While it has a unique design that seems quite odd, the strengthened professional hand grip is no joke! I find it grows grip strength for armwrestling.
Pros:
- Really fun to grip, and it feels more potent and powerful
- Adjustable springs you can add on that go from 200lbs to 1200lbs (huge variety of strength here)
- The repping motion gives an incredible forearm and hand pump
- Extremely durable design — have had my set for two years with constant use
Cons:
- Pretty expensive, roughly $60, depending on where you buy
- The springs can be a little difficult to adjust
- The grip can be pretty abrasive if you use this for extended periods of time
Marcy Forearm Developers Are So Cool
Marcy Forearm Developer can look a little odd but it gives an outrageous forearm pump. I use this one for training my cupping and hooking technique. It is much easier to train with this tool in bed than if you were to use a dumbbell!
Pros:
- Really cool design
- Ergonomic feel and cushions that allow you to rep this out
- Adjustable to your hand and forearm size
- Roughly $20-$30, which is pretty cheap all things considered
Cons:
- It is made of plastic and is not very durable
- The mechanism for increasing weight only goes up to 15lbs
- It takes some adjusting to be able to get the full range of motion
Tracking Your Progress With The Final Tool: Dynamometer
The final call out with no cons and only pros goes to the dynamometer. This nifty tool allows you to track your grip strength performance accurately. It fits well in the palm of your hand and goes all the way up to 200lbs — if you can make it that high! For what you get, it is not expensive at all. If you are going to train grip strength, you need this final tool in your arsenal.
I hope you enjoyed this roundup today — get after it to train your insane grip strength for peak armwrestling performance!
