Types of Grip Strength

Types of Grip Strength

by admin / Tuesday, 19 August 2014 / Published in Articles

Hand Specific Grip Strength Movements

Crushing is the action of closing the fingers against a resistance. Similar in nature but often forgotten are clamping (wrapping the fingers around something and squeezing it toward the palm) and crimping (directing force with the fingers toward the callous line).

Pinching involves grasping something with the thumbs in opposition to the fingers. This can be static (no movement, such as gripping a board) or dynamic (such as squeezing the handles of a clamp).

Support grip entails lifting something with the fingers, which end up taking the brunt of a load–normally in an isometric fashion, like deadlifts, rows, and kettlebell work. It should be noted that true support grip entails the fingers wrapping well around the bar. If the handle is large enough that there is a space between the fingers and thumb, it is referred to as open hand support.

Hand extension is the opening of the fingers and thumb (antagonistic action to flexion of the fingers and thumb).

Wrist & Forearm Grip StrengthPostures

Ulnar / Radial Deviation

Angling the wrist toward the inside or outside edges of the forearm. Movement toward the thumb side would be radial deviation.

Flexion / Extension

Flexion is the bending of the wrist so that the palm moves toward the front of the forearm–shown above. Extension, then, is the antagonistic movement pattern and involves moving the wrist so that the back of the hand moves toward the back of the forearm.

Pronation / Supination

These are the terms given to forearm rotation. Pronation is the turning of the forearm so that the palm faces down (similar to prone, as in lying face-down), while supination is turning the forearm so that the palm faces upward.

Circumduction

This is a combination of all of the above movement patterns, where the hand moves in a circular fashion about the wrist. It can also be done holding something.

Elbow Movement Patterns Flexion (with Pronation)

Bending the elbow so that the forearm nears the bicep with the palm facing downward (like a reverse bicep curl motion). This is a very important movement for preventing and getting rid of inflammation injuries like tennis elbow.

Flexion (with Supination)

Bending the elbow so that the forearm nears the bicep with the palm facing upward (like a normal bicep curl motion).

Extension

Straightening the elbow, such as in the bench press. Any weakness or liability in the surrounding musculature can decrease your numbers on the bench and other movements.

Grip Power Pads are unlike any workout glove on the market.

Take control of your workouts with Grip Power Pads. Whether you’re an avid bodybuilder or just hitting the gym after a long day at the office, our innovative set of workout pads will take your routine to the next level. Simply designed and durably constructed, Grip Power Pads will give you the clean and responsive grip you’ve been searching for.

Feel. Fit. Function. They aren’t known as the best weight lifting gloves for no reason! Grip Power Pads feature a solid sponge construction with deep grooves on each side. Each pair is thoroughly tested for quality, and they’re manufactured with high-caliber materials that deliver tangible benefits in the gym.

Why use Grip Power Pads instead of other workout gloves?

  • Workout gloves are bulky. Grip Power Pads are sleek and simple. They fit in the palms of your hands and provide comfort and protection without the bulk. They tuck easily into any pocket or gym bag.
  • Gloves make your palms sweat. Grip Power Pads allow 80% of your hands to remain exposed during a workout. The ability for air to reach your palms decreases sweating, overheating, and calluses. Grip Power Pads are also constructed from odor-resistant rubber.
  • Gyms often ban the use of chalk. Grip Power Pads protect hands far better than chalk ever could. Chalk is useless on smooth surfaces, but Grip Power Pads provide a stable layer of protection on all surfaces from rubber to rough grit to smooth steel.
  • Body building gloves are not attractive. Minimal in design, Grip Power Pads are aesthetically pleasing and barely visible during an intense workout.

Grip Power Pads are built for long-lasting use and function. The sweat-absorbing rubber and breathability gives you the edge you’ve been searching for. When you’re focused on proper form instead of unflattering smells and blisters, you will go the distance. With Grip Power Pads, you’ll no longer have to worry about losing your grip from sweaty palms.

Say goodbye to sore hands and blisters that stop you from achieving your goals. The use of Grip Power Pads adds necessary friction to all equipment, including hand weights and pull-up bars. Never again will you have to worry about leather gloves shrinking and absorbing moisture. You’ll feel safer and your workouts will be more productive. Choose Grip Power Pads for an all-around better experience in your quest for health and fitness!
