The use of thick grips to develop great finger and forearm strength is as old as stength training itself.

However, until recently, we needed special dumbells, barbells OR to wrap a towel around normal dumbbells/barbells (No, that does NOT work!) to benefit from thick grip training.

A couple of years ago, I was happy to learn about Tylergrips. They easily and safely wrap around any handle.

Check out this video and learn how to apply tyler grips to the standing cable pull.

Tyler Grips are very durable and cost efficient.

Oh, BTW, are you wondering why on earth you should care about grip strength?

Improved grip strength has the interesting “side effect” of allowing you to use higher loads in any pulling exercise, thus creating a stronger training stimulus for both structural and functional strength of the whole body.

PS: In “Combination Exercises” standing Cable Pull is combined with another important cable exercise to create a powerful combination exercise that has become a staple in many of the training programs I create.
