Hi all. This turned into a really long post so I apologise. I have some questions about improving grip strength specifically for S&S and generally for broader applications.
I am currently on Simple and Sinister using a mix of the 32 and 40kg bell for swings and the 32 for TGUs (can't even roll to elbow with the 40 yet!).
While S&S gives full-body strength (including grip!), I nevertheless feel grip strength is my personal weak link. I feel hand strength is my limiting factor for swings, and wrist strength my limiting factor for get-ups. I also think that grip strength is my limiting factor generally in 'real life' applications.
I assume that by continuing with S&S, my specific grip strength improve over time, allowing me to complete all of my swings and get-ups with the 40. Surely, this will improve my general grip strength for other 'real life' applications as well.
My questions are:
1. Is there anything in particular I can do to improve my grip specifically for swings and get-ups?
2. Does S&S leave out certain types of grip strength? And, if so, what is the most efficient way to cover the gaps? (meaning best bang for your buck, like S&S itself)
3. Does S&S cover allforms of grip strength, including crush, support and pinch grip, and finger strength, thumb strength and wrist strength?
Thank you in advance!
