Today, as per an arrangement with Paul 'Viper' Savage, we had a very famous powerlifter come to our gym here in Gloucester. We've already attracted some of the up and coming strength athletes as well as some of the more well known names due to the wide and varied equipment we possess as well as the rough and raw atmosphere we have there.
Due to some confusion between Paul and our guest over ordering issues of an Inzer Shirt Paul offered, once that was resolved, to 'show you some grip stuff to help with your deadlift'. More on that in a moment. Here's the first photo:
Paul had the guest use a set up for pinch that he could put together in most gyms without the need for special equipment. The gloves are to save the skin for powerlifting (... another clue)
The guest went over a variety of ideas he could try including Vulcan Gripper work (standard and inverted as well as closes), pinch (as above), blob and thick handled dumbbell as well as wrist roller and thick bar lifting. Here's he's doing timed holds with a baby Inch dumbbell:
He also had his brains picked by Paul and Harry 'H' Shahlaei over some benching and deadlifting questions.
Have you guessed who it is yet?
Yes we 'had that Andy Bolton down our gym learning grip'
