Hi guys, I really appreciate the support on this video and would love to know what other videos you would like to see! In the meantime I have performed another 30 day forearm transformation where I maxed out my grip strengthener and used other training methods suggested by you guys! I hope you guys enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/p5Ards7jhUg/v-deo.html
Such a chill and Honest video, mate Really appreciated it. Keep up the good work! Would love to see a 100 day or like a longer transition. Much love from the other side of the world!
Thank you man I really appreciate your comment and support! Forearm training hasn't been much of a priority for me at the moment but I might get back into it for a 100 day challenge if you would like to see it? Do you have any recommendations on how to approach this training? Thanks for the support again brother 🙏
Yes thank you, I understand rest is very important and in the future I limit direct forearm training to about 3 times a week as it can cause fatigue on other lifts in the gym such as pull ups.
@@JackTurner7 don't forget to stretch your arm's, wrists and fingers it will be very helpful for your progress. Stretch on the days you're not using grippers if you stretch and use grippers you will feel weaker and also stretch after using gripper I personally don't feel effective.
I think for a short time period such as 30 days I am able to get away with working it every day. However, in the long term especially if I incorporated some other heavy forearm exercises such as farmer carries or weighted wrist curls then giving it 1-2 days rest would be more benefical @@kanakff701

Hey man, thanks for your advice once again. My new video where I incorporated this style of training is now up! I would really appreciate any further feedback on it, thanks: ua-cam.com/video/p5Ards7jhUg/v-deo.html
I broke my wrist and lost all grip strength, I used rice bucket training to strengthen it again. I would love to see a video like this one on it. Great video!!
I did the 120 lbs for 1 year and some months and i switched to the 180lbs because 120 lbs was becoming lighter to me it really works guys just do it 4 times a week
Hey Bro ! I subscribed to your channel and liked your video, also I really appreciate you not faking this video cause there are thousands of such videos that are fake.. Gonna support you till the end ! Keep It Up Bro !
Great video, my only suggestions would be to go slower on the release than the grip. I found this added control on the release produced better results and helped improve my dexterity. I would also suggest stretching your hands before, and icing them down after. As an old addage goes "You don't lift weights to get stronger, you get stronger by recovering from lifting weights." Anything you can do to improve recovery is going to help.
Thanks mate that is good advice. The only thing with icing is that if done for too long and too frequent it can actually reduce the muscle building response, don’t know whether you have seen this and what to make of it?
Thanks man that means a lot, good to see you spreading some positivity out of there! Plenty of more work I can put in and will be in the upcoming months 🙏
Not saying you can’t grow doing this everyday but in my experience when I did these every day I saw no progress but when I started to incorporate rest I noticed strength increases and growth. Also I perform long static holds with short rest periods.
@@JackTurner7 15-20sec on starting sets but when I felt like I was hitting failure I would make sure the last set was longer or however long it took for complete failure. It sort of left my hands and forearm smoked for hours and the next day I would still feel soreness. The soreness definitely deterred me from training again. This was different before where there was no soreness and I felt super willing to train again. I never progressed but felt happy that I was doing something so it must work at some point in time.
I've never seen anyone talk about it so leaving this here. Hang with palm facing away for 1 min and rest for same duration, repeat 5 times. Do this after your workout. You'll see results in few months, works better than the gripper.
For really bulking up the mass on your firearms then try a wrist roller. It's a metal rod you hold in both hands with a strap or rope connected to a weight plate. You can even just make your own with a dambbell handle, rope and a weight plate. I stand on my dumbbell bench as the strap is fairly long and attach the weight and then roll the strap round the handle lifting the weight. At the top when it's all rolled up you then reverse the action to slowly lower the weight. The burn is BRUTAL! I do palms up first then when finished palms down. My firearms pump painfully and to bright red. It's a tough exercise so go a light gentle the first few times. But then you can increase weight and/or the number of reps. It is a truly HEAVY DUTY forearm excercise!
I feel like normal dumbells/kettlebells are the superiour for forearms and grip, i have 5-12kg kettlebells and some dumbells so i can do every muscle on forearms with different easy movements. deadhangs are good too i do max x 5 with rest time between sets is the time i hanged, good on my wrist
There could be a number of reasons for this: 1. Not lean enough - veins are how blood flows around the body and so having a higher body fat percentage can mean it is harder to see this 2. Dehydration - as mentioned veins are how blood flows around our body. If we are dehydrated (low fluid intake) then are blood is thicker meaning it is harder to pump around the body and vein definition is reduced. 3. Genetics - a lot of people are genetically more vascular allowing there veins to be more visible even when at higher body fat percentages. If any of the first 2 apply to you then I would recommend taking measures to achieve either a good hydration status or a lower body fat percentage. Keep working out hard tho and getting stronger bro. Thank you for the support!!!
Aah yes brings back old memories. I had bought my first gripper over a year ago from decathlon. It was an adjustable 88lbs gripper. I was doing 500 reps each hand everyday at first as I had no knowledge of rest etc. then I took a rest n bought a 200lbs captain of crush gripper from amazon. Fast forward a few months I can crush that gripper for 8 reps on the right hand and 1 rep on the left. My left is very weak 😅😂
Not a major difference in my lats to be honest. I struggle with the mind muscle connection with these but I have recently improved this through a magna grip variation of Lat Pulldown and practicing weighted pull ups. I might do a challenge on pull ups soon would you like to see this?
@@JackTurner7 I mostly do pushups and pullups. I progress every month so now my next goal is 1 arm pushup and pullup. I've gone to 1 leg squat but not finding a harder exercise to work for, so i just do uphill cycling. I have a 70kg hand gripper but not finding new one with more weight. Other than all this i like to try calisthenics skills if there is extra time
@@JackTurner7 I highly suggest you get into calisthenics, you already have a bar at your home. Not only does it improve your mind - muscle coordination but overall balance and stability go up. You get to understand own body limits and how to break em, also where to stop is better gauged. No gym membership required too, and working out at home is always fun.
Forearm muscle is very resistant to volume as we use it throughout the day to pick things up and carry them etc. They never got sore throughout the challenge as I wasn't really loading them heavy but let me know if you have an idea for how I could incorporate this with rest into a new video? Thanks for the support brother!
Heard a Doc saying you're not supposed to close and open that thing but rather close and hold for 10 seconds sets since what we do is we grip stuff and dont open and close things with our Hands.
Yeah that makes sense from a functional standpoint but I was getting some of this from also practicing dead hangs and farmer carries. Should I make a video where I try holding it for 10s ten times throughout the day?
@@JackTurner7 Honestly up to you. I thought I would just let you know since I'm having Carpal and the Doc said all the exercises that people post online are BS and recommended me to increase my hand strenght. The Muscle increase will lift the sinew a bit and make it better and honestly it's so far the only thing that worked for me. He also explained to me how to do it and why open and closing is not as good as holding to increase the muscles.. Just thought I should let you know! I appreciate your videos none the less. Have a great day!
Thanks for the video, i am 12 years old and i’m using the grip strengthener to have veins and good grip, i’m also working out but just being careful while at it.
Everywhere people said to eat healthy and I knew that. But as skinny as I am, my work is so demanding I didn't even took a break and work 9hrs through out the night. I need to eeaaaaattt.
I know man it’s tough I can 100% relate eating healthy is good but also getting enough calories in for me is another challenge. Chicken thighs, eggs and nuts, nut butters and liquid calories through smoothies is what I’m using at the moment. We might have it hard but there’s a lot more people that have it harder. Good time for a quote: ‘You can either have excuses or results, not both.’ I feel you brother but we gotta do what we gotta do to get results that we want 💪
Completely up to you and whatever you find doable. However, as a general guide pick a challenging resistance that you can only do for 10-20 reps at a time and perform a minimum 5 sets throughout the day but as this is all you are doing i reckon you could do 10 sets a day. The gripper will improve vascularity and maybe add a bit of thickness but to add more thickness I would focus on carrying heavy objects through farmer carries.
thanks for this. how did you pick your grip strengthener? Amazon is full of cheap knock offs, it’s hard to know which will actually be well made. thanks!
Great video❤, i also started doing forearm workouts by my school bag and gripper but I don't know about one thing that some people say i shoud take a 3 day rest to build it fatser but my classmates who goes to the gym and have big forearms say i have to do it everyday as i dont do any other exercises,so tell me what do you think i should do to see fast results
You could probably get away with it almost everyday but if you feel like you need a rest day then take 1-2 per week. I would recommend doing some home body workouts like push ups and pull ups if you have access to a bar could also do squats with anything heavy you can carry or fit in a backpack!
well what spiked my intrest is your hounesty were you didnot make it like these other videos that shows you very unrealistic progress withen 30 days ,,, anyways keep up at this you are doing great 💪
I have the same gripper and at 60kg I can do 20 reps and I also tried holding it squeezed I can last 1minute with that now I don't know what the average is
Yes I realise, I used an official handgrip test and mine was 45kg. For the purpose of this challenge though it was still good as I struggled to do it at the start and you can definitely see improvement in strength at the end with the one rep max regardless of it being 60kg or not. Appreciate the support bro!
Good stuff jack! I also have the same grip strenghtener as yours, but U dont use it much often. I have a very small forearm and wrist, You could see the bones, But I was suprised I could do 35kg when I used it the first time. Now I can do 50kg for 2-5 reps-ish, but my forearm, I didn’t see it grow. Is it because I dont fist clench, or dead hang?
You have certainly improve your strength which suggests signs of muscle growth or improve motor patterns in your hands from practicing the exercise. I would say the hand gripper is good at adding definition to your forearm (veins and bumps of muscle) but not so much for building actual thickness. I would say practicing holding heavy weights (E.g farmer carries) are best to actually grow them as you can load them quite well unlike a grip strengthener which is more of an accessory kind of movement. Make sure you also consume a high protein diet to help the muscle recover and grow bigger. But good work man, it does take time so don’t stress. Keep adding progressive overload and stay consistent bro!💪
Thanks Jack! Appreciate that you message people even from older videos! I hope your channel grows more, because I was suorised that your channel didn’t have 100K+ subscribers, because the content of your videos are High-quality and stuff! Thanks for the advice, I will be sure to do it! Thanks again
For forearm strength, I recommend heavy farmer carries as one of the best exercises. Performing 3 sets, 3 days a week of holds around 30-60 seconds is a good start. To get more vascular it mainly comes down to ensuring you are at a low body fat percentage, hydrated and genetics. Working out your arms (biceps and triceps) will help with this as well as a grip strengthener can help the blood flow through your veins in the forearm. One of my favourite bicep exercises that help target the forearms are hammer curls, you could also try reverse curls as well. Make sure to add progressive overload on these lifts to keep improving! Keep up the good work brother!!! 💪
I got my hand gripper of amazon for about £10. I would recommend using it daily or at least 3-4 times a week and to start with just practicing completing full reps of 10 about 5 times throughout the day. Then you can start increasing the resistance on it and completing more reps and sets each day to make it harder!
1:37 plz lmk where u bought that like the name of it or link as i want to make sure it fits if i go to buy one and u have uk house too so the door sizes are same (i think lol)
Really sorry mate, I don’t know where I got it from or what brand it is. Had it for about 5 years now and it’s only come off once! There are plenty on Amazon or eBay but best do you research to find which was the safest!
I think it was around 25-30kg. It is hard to know as it was just a dial. I just made sure I could complete all the reps successfully whilst it was still challenging and throughout the process I gradually increased the resistance on it to ensure this.
If you want to get more vascular forearms and improve your grip strength then by all means give it a go! Grip strength is very important in certain lifts at the gym E.g deadlift, pull ups and so it can definitely help with these
No I don’t think so. It is definitely not a sudden change and you will certainly NOT get ‘too muscular’, if you start to think you are then stop or lower how often you use it! After all having a good grip strength is really handy for life in general and straight up impressive!
Training grip strength will have some indirect increase in forearm size for most people but it’s not the go to method. If you are wanting to improve forearm size then doing stuff like farmer carries and deadlifts where you can load the muscle more is more effective in my opinion. The grip strengthener did help but mainly improved vascularity through the consistent blood flow into the muscle.
I say in the video: 20 reps for 5 sets each day for each hand. As for weight it changed overtime as I got stronger I could put more on for the same amount of effort but I believe I started at around 25kg and finished at about 35kg.
Yeah I would say they became more visible. But I think that is mainly down to me using the gripper everyday which enabled more blood to flow through them and therefore they were more ‘pumped’ more often
okay i writed right away and if you said 15 then i have 15cm as well 😂 but my arm looks so much smaller like i have weird ball part. My bones show up so well
Ahahaha, I know how you feel bro! Always try not to compare yourself to others, just keep putting in the work and focus on your own progress! Thanks for the support man!
Yes it is completely normal. Veins carry blood so when your are working muscles such as your bicep the muscle requires more energy/oxygen which is transported to it through veins. Being fairly lean (low body fat %) and working the muscle often will likely cause you to see this vein more often.
Less than £5… This is the one I used: www.amazon.co.uk/Pubiao-Strengtheners-Adjustable-Exerciser-Squeezer/dp/B08K2RZK1Y/ref=asc_df_B08K2RZK1Y/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=482072841077&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15336317896200064366&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046781&hvtargid=pla-1083072277876&psc=1&mcid=24c5eb1266b43826a6ac3f3e05ec1b0c
I feel like it definitely increased my vascularity as you are constantly pumping blood into your forearm muscles, but you must keep doing it to see your veins.
Taking a day off here or there won't hurt bro, definetly allow rest. The only reason I haven't in these videos are because it is a short space of time! To grow your forearm size (which I am still working on) I would incorporate heavy farmer carries and the likes of wrist curls if they don't hurt. Keep up the good work pal and thanks for the support!
I have to be honest and say I probably only use it 1-2 times a week now as I find completing reps is quite easy. I might look at buying another one which has a higher resistance (this one only goes up to 60kg)
Thank you for the subscribe bro. I wouldn't say the hand grips directly help improve your bicep size. However, I would say the consistent pump you get from working your biceps can make your forearm and therefore arm in general look more aesthetic and vascular. If you are really wanting to grow your biceps my personal favourite is a barbell bicep curl or controlled chin ups. As a new subscriber what content are you wanting to see the most?
Your bicep probably won’t. Hand grip is a good investment just to improve your grip strength and forearm vascularity but if that’s all you can afford I would recommend getting some dumbbells with weight you can add to them or a kettlebell and do curls. Or if you can practice pull-ups from a bar anywhere then do that.
Shouldn’t be able to mate but never say never and do not trust me. I have used it for a good 3 months and have never had any issues. Main aim of it is to just improve your grip strength and it does help with vascularity of the veins in the forearms as well.
It’s probably more muscle definition as you are now activating these muscles daily so they feel ‘pumped’ more often. Shouldn’t be anything to worry about and shows signs of good progress!
@@JackTurner7 Yea would be cool maybe make a video every month showing the progress. Never know I ve seen videos like this blow up even when you would think they wouldnt. Getting a nice title plays a huge part.
I did 20 forearm curls with the grip strengthener per arm for a minimum of 5 sets throughout the day. After each set I also did 10 fist clenches as hard as possible to fatigue them.
Hi guys, I really appreciate the support on this video and would love to know what other videos you would like to see!

Don’t use gripper every single day take 2 to 3 days rest and workout 5 days in a week. If You eat healthy it will be super effective.

dang bro keep up the good work
Thanks for support man!
Heard a Doc saying you're not supposed to close and open that thing but rather close and hold for 10 seconds sets since what we do is we grip stuff and dont open and close things with our Hands.
Yeah that makes sense from a functional standpoint but I was getting some of this from also practicing dead hangs and farmer carries. Should I make a video where I try holding it for 10s ten times throughout the day?
@@JackTurner7 Honestly up to you. I thought I would just let you know since I'm having Carpal and the Doc said all the exercises that people post online are BS and recommended me to increase my hand strenght. The Muscle increase will lift the sinew a bit and make it better and honestly it's so far the only thing that worked for me. He also explained to me how to do it and why open and closing is not as good as holding to increase the muscles..
Just thought I should let you know! I appreciate your videos none the less. Have a great day!
Yes thank you mate, hope everything heals soon! Have a great day and I appreciate you spreading your knowledge 🙏
Quality content, hats off!
Thank you! Anything else you would like to see on the channel?
Thanks for the video, i am 12 years old and i’m using the grip strengthener to have veins and good grip, i’m also working out but just being careful while at it.
Yup always be careful mate, one day of rest isn’t gonna kill your gains if anything it is gonna help!
Today i get to know from where we got the idiom red handed
Everywhere people said to eat healthy and I knew that. But as skinny as I am, my work is so demanding I didn't even took a break and work 9hrs through out the night. I need to eeaaaaattt.
I know man it’s tough I can 100% relate eating healthy is good but also getting enough calories in for me is another challenge. Chicken thighs, eggs and nuts, nut butters and liquid calories through smoothies is what I’m using at the moment. We might have it hard but there’s a lot more people that have it harder. Good time for a quote: ‘You can either have excuses or results, not both.’ I feel you brother but we gotta do what we gotta do to get results that we want 💪
Not bad man the veins look awesome, never realized bulging veins was a good sign not a bad one, guess I was too content with my arms for too long.
It depends… there are extremes to it that can be dangerous but most of the time it’s a good sign of circulation and low body fat %
"hi, my name Is jack"
Hi jack
👋
its insane how 13 year old me and you had the same grip strength with the gripper at trying to do a 60 kg rep 😂😂
@Browney
It is fascinatin to see someone fight hard for their goals and the differensers it makes.
Awesome bruh
I'm 18cm wrist and 30cm forearm at 5'7" 80 kg and 50 years old but weight training the last 4 years.
That's 18cm wrist at the very smallest part literally where the hand attaches. Otherwise I go from 18 to 20+ cm.
Nice good work man definitely incorporate heavy deadlifts and farmer carries if you can aswell to further improve grip strength during your workouts!
how much reps should I do and how many kgs if I don't do workouts, only grippers for wide forearms?
Completely up to you and whatever you find doable. However, as a general guide pick a challenging resistance that you can only do for 10-20 reps at a time and perform a minimum 5 sets throughout the day but as this is all you are doing i reckon you could do 10 sets a day. The gripper will improve vascularity and maybe add a bit of thickness but to add more thickness I would focus on carrying heavy objects through farmer carries.
thanks for measuring and making a table. So it is possible to grow the wrist. How much ist your wrist now?
I’m not sure now but I will be making a new video on it shortly so stayed tuned 🤞
I don't used gripper, i used dumbbell for forearms workout at age 14 before i have 22.62cm now i have 24.84 cm❤❤
That's awesome 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Pls keep doing and see how it is in long run
Yes I am bro! New video on this at the end of the month! Appreciate the support man.
New video on it out now man! Appreciate the support as always brother!
ua-cam.com/video/p5Ards7jhUg/v-deo.html
thanks for this. how did you pick your grip strengthener? Amazon is full of cheap knock offs, it’s hard to know which will actually be well made. thanks!
Tbh I just picked a cheap one of Amazon, they are relatively inexpensive to make so you should be alright as long as it is from a trusted site.
Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it mate! What else would you like to see?
Great video❤, i also started doing forearm workouts by my school bag and gripper but I don't know about one thing that some people say i shoud take a 3 day rest to build it fatser but my classmates who goes to the gym and have big forearms say i have to do it everyday as i dont do any other exercises,so tell me what do you think i should do to see fast results
I’m 14 and can do 60kg is that impressive I do about 10 reps then take a break then come back to it
I would say that's pretty good mate! Keep it up!
Wonderful advice, thank you. My lower part has grown on ~1.3 cm and the upper one on ~2.2 cm in 20 days
Nice bro, that’s great to hear! Keep working hard mate!
I love the loud music u put over ur voice. 😐
Great content ❤
Thank you mate, what else would you like to see on the channel?
After 3 days... My all veins popped up......
I hope not literally bro! Good work mate 💪
Brother, do you glue your watch to your wrist. That looks painful
Hahah no just have it tight as I have small wrists. It doesn’t hurt and I wear it more or less 24/7 so that’s probably why it’s imprinted on me haha
Do you notice difference in handshake?
I don't do other workouts like gym and all...how many times should i use it in a week
You could probably get away with it almost everyday but if you feel like you need a rest day then take 1-2 per week. I would recommend doing some home body workouts like push ups and pull ups if you have access to a bar could also do squats with anything heavy you can carry or fit in a backpack!
well what spiked my intrest is your hounesty were you didnot make it like these other videos that shows you very unrealistic progress withen 30 days ,,, anyways keep up at this you are doing great 💪
Thank you, I appreciate that man. That’s what you get from the smaller UA-camrs these days. Trust the process 🙏
I got motivated to strengthen my grip after seeing these gore scenes from movies, where they crush skulls with their hands.
Haha whatever motivates you!
شكرآ لك على هذه معلومات
Your welcome!
any effect in biceps?
Zero. Completely different muscle group. It will grow your forearm and make a thicker hand.
I have the same gripper and at 60kg I can do 20 reps and I also tried holding it squeezed I can last 1minute with that now I don't know what the average is
That’s a good idea, I’m not sure either but that seems good. Keep it up!
Subbed thanks man
Thank you for the support brother!
Would you recommend it?
Definitely worthy giving a go! Especially if you want to improve vascularity and general grip strength!!!
Good video
Thank you! What other videos would you like to see?
Your doing it wrong.... I did the 30 day challenge . 50x4 reps on each arm... my Arms grew significantly and veins are always popping out
Okay man, I'll have to give that a try then! Thank you mate!
Which brand's hand gripper tell me plz?
The 60kg gripper isnt truly 60kg, i have a 30kg and a 60kg gripper. They feel the exact same (30 a bit harder due to me having it for a long time)
Yes I realise, I used an official handgrip test and mine was 45kg. For the purpose of this challenge though it was still good as I struggled to do it at the start and you can definitely see improvement in strength at the end with the one rep max regardless of it being 60kg or not. Appreciate the support bro!
@@JackTurner7 keep it up dude, proud of you
Thanks bro, new video on it hopefully dropping start of December!
Bro hands got tamato
Good stuff jack! I also have the same grip strenghtener as yours, but U dont use it much often.
I have a very small forearm and wrist, You could see the bones, But I was suprised I could do 35kg when I used it the first time. Now I can do 50kg for 2-5 reps-ish, but my forearm, I didn’t see it grow. Is it because I dont fist clench, or dead hang?
You have certainly improve your strength which suggests signs of muscle growth or improve motor patterns in your hands from practicing the exercise. I would say the hand gripper is good at adding definition to your forearm (veins and bumps of muscle) but not so much for building actual thickness. I would say practicing holding heavy weights (E.g farmer carries) are best to actually grow them as you can load them quite well unlike a grip strengthener which is more of an accessory kind of movement. Make sure you also consume a high protein diet to help the muscle recover and grow bigger. But good work man, it does take time so don’t stress. Keep adding progressive overload and stay consistent bro!💪
Thanks Jack! Appreciate that you message people even from older videos! I hope your channel grows more, because I was suorised that your channel didn’t have 100K+ subscribers, because the content of your videos are High-quality and stuff! Thanks for the advice, I will be sure to do it! Thanks again
Thanks man, that’s the dream! Keep up the good work bro💪
Do you eat good? Its very important for growth
Yes, majority whole foods and I get about 150g protein a day
Very good, can you suggest me hand grip Work out for strength and venins
For forearm strength, I recommend heavy farmer carries as one of the best exercises. Performing 3 sets, 3 days a week of holds around 30-60 seconds is a good start. To get more vascular it mainly comes down to ensuring you are at a low body fat percentage, hydrated and genetics. Working out your arms (biceps and triceps) will help with this as well as a grip strengthener can help the blood flow through your veins in the forearm. One of my favourite bicep exercises that help target the forearms are hammer curls, you could also try reverse curls as well. Make sure to add progressive overload on these lifts to keep improving! Keep up the good work brother!!! 💪
@@JackTurner7 thanks for suggesting can you suggest me with hand gripr
I got my hand gripper of amazon for about £10. I would recommend using it daily or at least 3-4 times a week and to start with just practicing completing full reps of 10 about 5 times throughout the day. Then you can start increasing the resistance on it and completing more reps and sets each day to make it harder!
@@JackTurner7 thanks
1:37 plz lmk where u bought that like the name of it or link as i want to make sure it fits if i go to buy one and u have uk house too so the door sizes are same (i think lol)
Really sorry mate, I don’t know where I got it from or what brand it is. Had it for about 5 years now and it’s only come off once! There are plenty on Amazon or eBay but best do you research to find which was the safest!
good stuff! keep t on1
Cheers mate 🫡
I stopped using these after it broke from the weight I was using shooting the metal, nearly hitting me
Wow where did you get your gripper from?
@@JackTurner7 Amazon haha
What weight did you use at beginning?
I think it was around 25-30kg. It is hard to know as it was just a dial. I just made sure I could complete all the reps successfully whilst it was still challenging and throughout the process I gradually increased the resistance on it to ensure this.
Damn bruh I got the same gripper not even kidding
Nice bro, keep up the good work!
I am a girl, do you advise me to use it?🙂
If you want to get more vascular forearms and improve your grip strength then by all means give it a go! Grip strength is very important in certain lifts at the gym E.g deadlift, pull ups and so it can definitely help with these
But will you make my hands like men's?
No I don’t think so. It is definitely not a sudden change and you will certainly NOT get ‘too muscular’, if you start to think you are then stop or lower how often you use it! After all having a good grip strength is really handy for life in general and straight up impressive!
@@JackTurner7 Well, you convinced me to buy one, but what weight do you advise me to buy?
Up to you, I got mine for £10 or so off Amazon and it has a resistance of up to 60kg but you can alter it to as low as 10kg
When you do the sets, how long do you rest in between?
I just did them throughout the day so sometimes 1 min, sometimes 1 hour…
@@JackTurner7 alr thanks
are u sure training grip strength will make your wrists area bigger?
Training grip strength will have some indirect increase in forearm size for most people but it’s not the go to method. If you are wanting to improve forearm size then doing stuff like farmer carries and deadlifts where you can load the muscle more is more effective in my opinion. The grip strengthener did help but mainly improved vascularity through the consistent blood flow into the muscle.
@@JackTurner7 I’m asking about wrist size
There is very little muscle around your wrist so it’s quite hard to change as it’s just bone. But forearm training can give it a bigger appearance
Bro on which weight and how many reps and seta plss telk brother
I say in the video: 20 reps for 5 sets each day for each hand. As for weight it changed overtime as I got stronger I could put more on for the same amount of effort but I believe I started at around 25kg and finished at about 35kg.
did u get more veins?
Yeah I would say they became more visible. But I think that is mainly down to me using the gripper everyday which enabled more blood to flow through them and therefore they were more ‘pumped’ more often
I've been using a hand gripper for about 2/ 3 weeks an my forearms have definitely increased in size
That’s good to hear mate, keep at it!
Guys who say they have small forearms have actually a lot bigger than mine
okay i writed right away and if you said 15 then i have 15cm as well 😂 but my arm looks so much smaller like i have weird ball part. My bones show up so well
Ahahaha, I know how you feel bro! Always try not to compare yourself to others, just keep putting in the work and focus on your own progress! Thanks for the support man!
I'm 15 And It's Been One Month Since I Started There Are Veins Popping On My Biceps Is That Good ?
Yes it is completely normal. Veins carry blood so when your are working muscles such as your bicep the muscle requires more energy/oxygen which is transported to it through veins. Being fairly lean (low body fat %) and working the muscle often will likely cause you to see this vein more often.
Cost or hand gripper?
Less than £5… This is the one I used:
www.amazon.co.uk/Pubiao-Strengtheners-Adjustable-Exerciser-Squeezer/dp/B08K2RZK1Y/ref=asc_df_B08K2RZK1Y/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=482072841077&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15336317896200064366&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046781&hvtargid=pla-1083072277876&psc=1&mcid=24c5eb1266b43826a6ac3f3e05ec1b0c
What is your wrist size
About 15.5cm for each wrist
Thank you
nice video 😄
Thank you man, I really appreciate it. Anything you would like to see on the channel?
@@JackTurner7 maybe some food recipes and more working out vids like this one !
Stop wearing that watch so tight, it doesnt look normal to have those indentations on the hand
Hahaha yes your probably right mate, but it does need to be relatively tight to prevent it from slipping!
what abt veins?
I feel like it definitely increased my vascularity as you are constantly pumping blood into your forearm muscles, but you must keep doing it to see your veins.
you should lower your watch and not have it as tight
Hahaha yes I know I have been doing recently don’t worry!
didnt grew any forearms but did got really good grip strength and my wrists kinda hurt ngl
Taking a day off here or there won't hurt bro, definetly allow rest. The only reason I haven't in these videos are because it is a short space of time! To grow your forearm size (which I am still working on) I would incorporate heavy farmer carries and the likes of wrist curls if they don't hurt. Keep up the good work pal and thanks for the support!
this increases hand size?
I wouldn’t really say size but it would help make them more vascular!
Nice bro ❤😊
im 13 and an grip 60kg is that average?
I would say that is pretty good in my opinion and I have given it a google and it seems very impressive for your age!
That's fuking good keep going 💪👏

Can we grow forearm with home workout+hand gripper?
Absolutely mate! Practice holding heavy weight by the likes of farmer carries and dead hangs and then use grip strengthener as well!!!
I'm a LFC fan as well
Yes laddd!
@@JackTurner7 we're cooking. bro hows the forearms? improvements? do i continue using the gripper
I have to be honest and say I probably only use it 1-2 times a week now as I find completing reps is quite easy. I might look at buying another one which has a higher resistance (this one only goes up to 60kg)
@@JackTurner7 oh okay! Is there any significant improvement from when you initially started though?
If yes, I'll start doing it everyday
Yes definitely as I couldn’t even complete one full rep of the max resistance (60kg). Now I can complete 10+ reps pretty easily!
brother new subscribeer🎉 will hand grip helps to gain biceps?
Thank you for the subscribe bro. I wouldn't say the hand grips directly help improve your bicep size. However, I would say the consistent pump you get from working your biceps can make your forearm and therefore arm in general look more aesthetic and vascular. If you are really wanting to grow your biceps my personal favourite is a barbell bicep curl or controlled chin ups. As a new subscriber what content are you wanting to see the most?
@@JackTurner7 if i handgrip 50kg daily will my biceps grow? because i can only afford handgrip
Your bicep probably won’t. Hand grip is a good investment just to improve your grip strength and forearm vascularity but if that’s all you can afford I would recommend getting some dumbbells with weight you can add to them or a kettlebell and do curls. Or if you can practice pull-ups from a bar anywhere then do that.
@@movietrailer173no not at all, don't listen to anyone.
Your biceps need different stimulation than forearms.
Zero effect in biceps.
Your measurements are obviously not accurate. It’s visually clear that your right forearm and wrist is bigger than your left.
But I could be wrong. Idk
Bro if i daily use it ,can it break my veins?
Shouldn’t be able to mate but never say never and do not trust me. I have used it for a good 3 months and have never had any issues. Main aim of it is to just improve your grip strength and it does help with vascularity of the veins in the forearms as well.
Damm u really worry about veins breaking? While I worry that I am not making progress.
@@pero6178 well,I'm using the hand gripper from 1 week and not gonna lie ,there are changes in my forearns,they are more hard noww
It’s probably more muscle definition as you are now activating these muscles daily so they feel ‘pumped’ more often. Shouldn’t be anything to worry about and shows signs of good progress!
Are you still doing this oh and doing every other day might be better giving it some rest.
No I have stopped now but is this something you would want to see?
@@JackTurner7 Yea would be cool maybe make a video every month showing the progress. Never know I ve seen videos like this blow up even when you would think they wouldnt. Getting a nice title plays a huge part.
Yeah thanks mate I’ll give it some thought 🤔
How many reps you do per day
I did 20 forearm curls with the grip strengthener per arm for a minimum of 5 sets throughout the day. After each set I also did 10 fist clenches as hard as possible to fatigue them.
Bro.. you're using it wrong. You don't hold it as a pistol. You reverse the hold ... 😨
I must hold it from where the finger indentations are but do you mean upside down then?
