While we strongly recommend the use of hand grips for CrossFit exercises, we also recognize the need to improve grip strength in other activities. This can be attained by following some simple exercises and equipment. Here’s a closer look:
1. Using Chalk
Chalk can be quite useful when it comes to improving your overall grip. Made of magnesium carbonate, chalk reduces and absorbs sweat and ensures that you don’t end up losing control of what you are holding because of sweaty palms. You can choose powder chalk or liquid chalk and get a better grip.
2. Grip Improvement Equipment
There are a large number of gym equipment that deal specifically with grip improvement. These are nutcracker or plier-like instruments that allow you to improve the strength of your hands. Using these can help you improve your hold of things.
3. Grip Improvement Exercises
A number of grip improvement exercises can also be followed, such as just clenching and unclenching your wrist tightly, or twisting a wet towel multiple times a day that can help you attain a better grip. You might also want to get the help of a Yoga trainer or a Physiotherapist to help you with some of these exercises that can help you improve your hand grip.
