and win well strong man this
0:36
year right we're going to the uh the new
0:40
grips these manuscripts and I'm not um
0:43
I'm not somebody who's used these yet so
0:45
I'm not too sure what they're going to
0:46
be like but I'm sure Big T you'll have
0:48
uh plenty of information about them
0:51
again this is to um to make it harder to
0:54
to grip the bar it's going to help
0:55
strengthen your forearms it's going to
0:57
help um it's going to help you gripping
1:00
General um obviously in bodybuilding
1:02
grip's a big thing but it's more of a
1:04
more of an issue when it comes to strong
1:06
man so I'm not going to talk about this
1:08
too much because I think T you've used
1:10
this type of thing a't you Terry and um
1:12
it's no good me talking about think I'm
1:14
not too sure and so we'll come up you
1:16
mate and explain because like I said I'm
1:19
I'm a beginner on this so what would
1:21
this what would this do for me I mean
1:24
for for start with I mean having a
1:26
strong grip is always per like a good
1:28
thing when you're you don't ever want
1:30
your limiting factor on your training to
1:32
be your grip you know we we do it a lot
1:34
in strong man where you know you're
1:36
ending up failing a deadlift it's not
1:38
because your back's not strong enough
1:39
it's because your grip's not strong
1:40
enough these will obviously help that
1:43
same same goes for you guys with a
1:44
bodybuild you don't want to be failing
1:46
you know doing your rows and stuff yeah
1:48
you're failing because your grip's
1:50
letting go you don't want that also as
1:52
well they give you a real real hard
1:55
forearm workout I mean it is pretty um
1:58
pretty intense to be honest I mean I
2:00
know a lot of people say as well also
2:01
doing um a lot of hammer curls bicep
2:03
curls we've using them can really add to
2:06
the sort of effect of those as well when
2:08
you put them on the bar how much of a
2:10
difference does it made to your lift you
2:12
know in the end of the day if you had
2:13
just had a normal bar and then you would
2:16
lift such and such weight if you put
2:17
them on would it would it bring the
2:19
weight down a lot and it would take you
2:20
a long time to build that up yeah yeah I
2:23
mean it you'll um I mean deadlifting
2:25
wise I mean you know sort of if I was to
2:28
use a double overand grip
2:30
both hands facing away from me um on a
2:33
deadlift with a regular bar I can do I
2:36
mean around about 340 kilos with a
2:39
straight grip like that with fat grips I
2:41
mean you're probably talking 200 kilos
2:43
is going to be a struggle so it makes
2:45
that much of a difference yeah but also
2:46
help you keep lift down yeah strengthen
2:49
your arms but um risk the risk of injury
2:53
is less yeah so they're perfect for that
2:55
type of thing especially someone like me
2:56
who when I get closer to a show I stay
2:59
strong strong but my body fat is very
3:01
low so I need to I want to bring the I
3:04
want to keep the intensity I want to
3:05
keep the lifts up as possible now if I
3:07
use something like that would it would
3:08
keep my work in the muscle but help
3:11
bring the lift down so it's probably
3:12
something I could use yeah yeah I mean
3:14
also I find when I'm deadlifting with
3:16
things like this on the bar it's um it
3:19
actually slows my lift down as well
3:20
which sometimes can be a good thing you
3:22
know from your point of view sometimes
3:24
your really slow movements I mean a lot
3:26
of the lifting I do is very fast
3:28
explosive movements like the deadlifts
3:29
even trying to get the bar moving as
3:31
quickly as possible with using things
3:33
like this you're forcing yourself to to
3:35
slow the lift down which you can
3:37
actually sort of work the muscles in a
3:39
different way and also you've got the
3:40
added effect to the grip work so they're
3:43
definitely a great tool and obviously as
3:46
man it couldn't be better because a lot
3:48
of the stuff we use is thick handled you
3:51
know dumbbells with with big fat handles
3:53
like 3-in handles so things like this
3:55
are are a must for a strong man but also
3:58
for people that just general
4:00
definitely something I might put into my
4:02
training you know especially coming to a
4:03
contest like I say um I usually stay
4:06
fairly strong but um but I worry about
4:09
theis risk of injury so it's probably
4:10
thing I'm going to put in and like I
4:12
said if it's going to make me squeeze
4:13
the muscle more it's perfect Contest
4:15
time oh yeah and also I mean a lot of
4:17
people think you know grips about the
4:19
strength of your hands a lot of the time
4:21
it's not as about the strength of your
4:22
forearm so by using these you're working
4:24
your grip you're working your forearms
4:26
so from a bodybuilding point of view if
4:28
you got your forearms a bit Yeah you you
4:31
know they're definitely going to help
