Top Reddit reviews mentioning Gymnastics Hand Grips:
Nah you can use gloves. Calluses can be easily sanded down with a pumice stone. I enjoy all my calluses.
I use these rubber lifting pads for more grip. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007R2H2Y6
I use straps to finish some exercises if I find that my grip is the limiting factor.
Try doing some farmer walks for a couple weeks. They burn like hell but they are fantastic grip strength work. Grab a heavy dumbbell and walk for a distance. Repeat.
I use these while I'm sitting in drive-thru lines. It helps me with stress when the lines are going slow. Or sometimes as I'm driving too. I just bang out a hundred on each hand.
For the sport climbers in your life:
You can buy single quickdraws for like $13, and usually the more quicks, the better. There are all different kinds, so sneak a peak at your partners gear and see if they could use some more.
Personal huge fan of local outdoor store gift cards that sell climbing gear if your partner is picky :) shop local consistently at these places and you can get some sweet discounts when you get to know the staff!!
chalk. chalk. chalk. some quality stuff makes a difference and won’t dry out your hands. friction labs gorilla grip is a good place to start!

- hand exercise and strengthening tools are cool sometimes too.
these bad boys help me from getting tendinitis!!
just some suggestions! hope this helps :))
Surprisingly the thing that helped me the most with my tennis and golfers elbow issues, was extensor work. Wrist extensor and finger extensor work.
Something to do with an imbalance between the flexors and the extensors of the forearm muscles. All pulling exercises, single arm kettlebell swings, involve gripping something aka using our flexors. Think of all the volume we put our flexors through and yet we do nothing about the extensors. So we’re left with a huge imbalance which becomes the weakest link and hence the point of failure once we go heavy or increase the volume of our pulling exercises.

Complete and total novice question here: do those finger grip trainers I see advertised for free on Instagram, are those actually effective, and if they are, how so?
I linked ones I found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Stretcher%EF%BC%8C-Resistance-Elastic%EF%BC%8CFinger-Rehabilitation-Relaxation/dp/B07Z8N7JDR/ref=asc_df_B07Z8N7JDR/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385266201581&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=164885541195154694...
Can a daily set until failure with a grip trainer Be enough to help me build strenght and a little size on my forearms/wrists? I am trying to make it less uncomfortable doing push-ups.
something like one of these?
thank you
relapsing is an opportunity to reflect and think of what you can do to maintain your discipline next time. its not failure. its a chance at growth.
ask yourself :
what went wrong? what was on your mind?
do you think porn blockers will help you ? cause those exist.
do you need more hobbies or things to do to burn time and energy?
do you possibly need an accountability partner ?
etc etc etc

I have the same problem, my legs can handle so much more weight than my arms can hang onto. Bringing an extra towel to dry my hands on days we're doing heavier lifts (bc my hands get sweaty af) and using a spring grip to work on grip strength outside the studio has really helped. Don't forget to stretch your hands and forearms either!
I bought these from Amazon. One for home, one for my office.

I don’t do all the different blocks, but when I was learning to do epidurals, one anesthesiologist gave me an article about how many times you had to perform a procedure before you became proficient and it was literally over 1000 times.
Also, with the hand ventilating, it can be difficult because you have to have similar strength in your non dominant hand as you have in your dominant hand. You can get a hand strengthener and build up the strength in both hands. Something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/KDG-Strengthener-Adjustable-Resistance-Exerciser，Grip/dp/B087X35JJ8/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1Z0GA8PN2ZJ1&keywords=hand+strengthener&qid=1657959713&sprefix=Hand+stre%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-6
I've been using the 130 lbs. adjustable resistance gripper from amazon every day for the past month. I'm up to max resistance doing 300+ reps a day (at least 3 sets of 25 on each hand, another set if my arms don't feel exhausted yet, twice a day) pretty comfortably. Where should I go next? Should I change my routine or move up in weight? I'd prefer something adjustable and handheld so I don't have to spend hundreds on grip strengtheners and can train during work-from-home downtime.

Get some of this to help dry your hands when shooting.
But dont give up on the grip strength exercise.
Didn't mean to strain your finger scrolling.
This will help keep your hands strong and increase your grip.
Do grip strengtheners like these help with developing a tighter grip for deadlifts? I struggle to keep the bar held without the use of straps, and I additionally struggle with the lateral pull down machine at my gym with weights that I know I am able to pull but my fingers slip/can't hold.
If these are useful, any recommended exercises with them? Or just a lot of reps at varying "weights"?
To help prevent blisters from opening the tubes you might take a piece of athletic tape and wrap it around your finger (under your gloves) where you are catching the tab.
Also if you are getting hand/finger cramps/pain from repetitive motion you should do some regular stretching . And get one of these band sets to help strengthen the opposing muscles in your hands
Rest until the pain is gone—this is absolutely essential—and then start cross training. For every “climbing” motion, do the opposite. Finger extensions with something like this (but go easy! It’s a really hard workout when you just start), push ups, tricep extension, etc…
Listen to you body and rest when it hurts.
Yes, getting old sucks, but it's still better than the alternative. I try to use this hand strengthing tool I bought on Amazon when I'm sitting around.
This: https://www.amazon.com/KDG-Strengthener-Adjustable-Resistance-Exerciser%EF%BC%8CGrip/dp/B087X35JJ8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=hand+grip+exerciser+strengthener&pd_rd_r=fc54f781-c0a8-42b3-a571-66d953faeb70&pd_rd_w=HTgf7&pd_rd_w... Or something similar.
> Hands are sweaty
Chalk up my dude. Buy liquid chalk if your gym doesn’t allow regular chalk, I use Liquid Grip. It lasts forever and keeps your hands safe
There's a decent product called 'liquid grip'
It works pretty good in the gym where they don't allow chalk. Doesnt really rub off on anything once dried. I can't imagine it would cause any issues for playing a guitar
I use these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LMR0U82/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They are not gloves really, they just protect your palm, with a piece of leather. Has actually improved my grip.
EDIT: They are honestly fucking awesome when I really think of it, I have done some awesome stuff the last two weeks because my hands felt so much stronger.
Wrists have been feeling a bit funky lately (longboarding... nuff said) and Im looking to get a brace to take some of the load off while it recovers. Does anyone have any experience with Tiger Paws or the Wrist Widget?
How much did they limit your range of motion? Did it help with your wrist pain?
Honestly guys, I think gymnastic's grips are a better answer than anything in this thread. Here are some I just bought (haven't tried them yet): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019N8E5NM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I'm a profuse palm sweater too, and these have helped me out a lot. I've thought about trying liquid chalk, but haven't gotten around to it, so I'm not sure how effective that would be vs. dry chalk.
I love the stuff. use it in my home gym, since i dont want to vacuum up chalk constantly!
I'm not into the grow / manage your blisters mentality. These work great for me for pull-ups and muscle-ups: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Lifting-Grips-Alternative-Comfortable/dp/B007R2H2Y6/ref=sr_1_3?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1428342715&sr=1-3&keywords=grip+pads+for+weight+lifting
I wouldn't use straps until you're north of 4 plates, and even then I don't really have a problem up that high with chalk and mixed grip. Get some liquid chalk; it's less than $10/tube and will last you for a year easily.
here's what I use. I'm sure there are other brands too that you can find with a quick Google search.
Same stuff couple dollars cheaper here. I've used it and I really like it. It's magnesium carbonate regular chalk so imo it performs roughly the same. Granted you can't chalk your back but for grip it works nicely.
My gym has the same rule. I was getting to the point that, even with mixed grip, it was hard to keep a good hold on the barbell for multiple reps. I just started using a liquid chalk-type product this week, and it has helped a lot.
