Get a Grip!

August 3, 2011 By Eric D’Agati Leave a Comment

Whenever performing any lifting, always grasp the bar or implement with a strong full grip and squeeze hard. Your hands provide sensory feedback to your shoulder girdle, so a tight grip triggers your shoulders to brace. This greater stability puts your shoulder in a safer and more packed position which also allows you to produce more force.
 
What about using lifting wrist straps and wraps??? They allow you to lift weight you probably don’t deserve to be moving in the first place. They should be used sparingly for only very specific situations, if at all.
