PLate Pinch – Grip Exercise

Main Muscle Worked: Forearms,grip

Other Muscles Worked: Back,traps, Legs

Equipment: Wrist Roller

Mechanics Type: Compound


Tips: The simplest way to train your pinch grip is to grab two wide-rimmed plates and put them together with the smooth sides facing outward. Now, put your thumb on one side, fingers on the other, and lift! The mark of a man with an excellent pinch grip is to be able to do this feat of strength with two, 45lb wide-rimmed plates. I assure you, it’s much more difficult than it sounds. You can also try this using four, 10lb plates. Just try to hold them as long as possible.
