Is Your Grip Limiting Your Lower Body Training? Try This Tip!

When a LOT of people train their lower body, their grip can be a HUGE limiting factor!

In other words, the amount of weight they are able to hold in their hands dramatically limits how much weight they are able to lift with their lower body. 

This will result in less weight being used, fewer reps being done, and quite often, a high level of frustration!

There is nothing more frustrating than having to stop a lower body set prematurely ONLY because your grip is failing! 

Most people hold dumbbells so the weights are horizontal to the floor. This makes it significantly more difficult to hold the weights as the hands and fingers are often holding on for dear life! This is especially true if the hands become sweaty!


If you are using dumbbells, this ‘’hack’’ I’m about to share makes a MASSIVE difference!

✅ Instead of holding the dumbbells so they are horizontal to the floor, try holding the dumbbells so they are angled, and with the thick/back of the weights resting against the back of your hands and forearms.

 I do not know why more people do not hold the dumbbells this way as doing so is a total game-changer!

Instead of gripping onto the weights with everything you have, and at the expense of your fingers and hands, the weights are being cradled against the back of your hands and forearms.

The weights feel about half as heavy as they actually are, and this “hack” largely removes grip from the equation! 

 If you are skeptical, try holding the weights this way, and then immediately holding them horizontally like most people do! You’ll have a lightbulb moment!

tip for weak grip

Get ready to lift heavier weights, do more reps, and build stronger, more muscular legs!

For the record, I have a strong grip, but this hack allows me to lift WAY more weight and do WAY more reps without taxing my grip at all. Why waste your grip if you don’t need to? Save your grip for when it matters!

This hack also helps me conserve my grip for my muscle-ups and everything else I do.
