Grip strength can be a limiting factor to lifting for a lot of people, especially as they start to really push into lifting heavier weight consistently. There are couple things you can do:
1) Train your grip strength! It can be worked just like any other muscle group. Incorporating a Farmer's Carry into your session is an incredible drill for this + core activation. 3 rounds of 30 seconds (about 10 steps out and 10 steps back) 🔥
2) Start lifting with straps or gloves. Both give you extra wrist support and more grip when using heavier weights.
Any advice on what to do when your hands get tired long before the rest of you? I am struggling with weak fingers and wrists!
