"Developing Grip Strength" | Stronger hands and forearms have always been a very important (but often overlooked) area of training for every athlete. Published back in 1986, Developing Grip Strength by David Gentle and David Webster became an instant classic as it was the first "book" ever written specifically on the subject of grip training. You'll be lucky to find a copy these days -- I've seen them listed at several hundred dollars on some of the used book sites. |
While this book is quite rare, you can learn how to train for many of these feats with the four different courses in our Classic Grip Course Collection
