  • The Grip Strength of John Grimek

    • John Grimek trained his hand and forearm strengthJohn Grimek trained his hand and forearm strength

    John Grimek was most famous for his amazing physique but he was quite an all-around strength athlete.

    He did, of course, represent the United States in the 1936 Olympics so he was quite an Olympic Weightlifter in his own right, but he also excelled in many other unusual feats of strength simply because he loved to train.

    These include: harness lifting, heavy supports, hand balancing and, as pictured here, ripping a deck of cards in half, Phonebook Tearing and lifting an old York 45 lb. Barbell Plate by the hub.

    It would be a very good idea to follow John Grimek's example and strengthen your hands and forearms to their maximum...
