Grip Training

I power lift and do allot of grip work, This involves kroc rows and other work and while its similar at the same time its very different to gripping the penis. I feel my grip is good for holding a solid piece of metal and I can hold that grip for an age but when its soft and squishy its a different story.

Now I’m not looking for a way to train my grip to crush my head into dust but to hold that grip for a longer period of time without hand cramping and so on. When I hold my penis out for 2 mins + at a nice moderate pull it stays that length afterwards and no dramas apart from the cramping in the had but penis wise its great, If I pull for 30 secs and let me make this clear I am not pulling hard! Then it feels like I’ve done nothing and it tends to retract and I cant explain but it don’t feel right, you know when you just know.

You can get balls, grips, rings and so on. I’m thinking possibly a squishy type of ball like this or because it could be the closest thing. Rather than squeezing forcefully I could try and find a grip that resembles the grip i take on the penis and hold that position as long as I can.

Any thoughts guys?

One way I like to work my grip is to hang a rope or towel over a pull up bar and hold that during pull ups. I also squeeze the shit out of my steering wheel on the drive to work changing the angle of my wrist.

I think my being able to do sets of 10 full closes with a Captain’s of Crush #1 gripper is plenty strong for PE. Well if I did manual PE. I only clamp currently.

Just get an old towel and wet it then wring it out. Keep wringing it out in both directions until your forearms tell you to stop! :)

Cheers guys and Firegoat do you think this would work for long hold grips? I do allot of grip work anyway which helps with lifting but holding the head of my penis is another story.

this could be due to the shape, I haven’t got much of a lip around the head and have always found it it difficult anyway.

Just like to add that I do firegoat rolls after everything now (for years now) and I’ve never said thanks for coming up with them :)

For long hold grips just hold the towel at the ‘fully wrung’ position until your grip gets tired, then do the opposite direction.

The best way to help your grip on the penis is to use a square of toilet paper/tissue.

Glad you like the rolls; I think lots of guys were doing them before I popularised them, but they hadn’t shared them with the forum.

Agree with firegoat that toilet paper is the way to go with an awsome grip.. and it’s sheep too :-)

You brought them into the light and explained things though. You also explained the honey and stick for jelqing example which is helping me.

I think I might be explaining what I’m trying to do in the wrong way. My grip is fine, I can hold it for ages but its the cramp that sets in that’s troubling me, I can hold it through the cramp but its painful and I cant relax once this happens. I can heavy deadlift my through high reps and get no cramp.

I tried the towel and was skeptical at first but after a few holds I was getting the same feeling i get when i stretch so I could see this working, I think I will stop pe for 2 weeks and concentrate on this a few times a day everyday.

Now you’re talking more of my training:)

I’ve been a long time lifter now turned calisthenics/gymnastics and kettlebell trainee, due to cost and access of what I do have.

You don’t need anything besides a pullup bar and some smart progression in calisthenics training to get massive and powerful forearms and hands.

If you can hang from a pullup bar for 3 sets of 2 minutes using both hands, try using a towel in one hand and hanging from the pullup bar with a little support from the towel, or if you’re strong enough try one hand… though I doubt you’ll be able to hit this exercise for very long let alone the one handed towel hold with two towel.

My point is you don’t need anything to get a strong grip if you’re smart about it.

Thanks for the advice divider but I am very conditioned (Lifting/conditioning wise) that’s the reason I posted the question because I’m struggling with this because my grip for pull ups, leg raises, kroc rows, deadlifts and everything else I do is brilliant but when I hold my penis grip my hands cramps up, I’m becoming more and more convinced its the shape of my head when flaccid.

You shouldn’t be pulling by the head, you should be behind the head

Get a mop or broom handle or even a piece of PVC approx 3/4” dia with a piece of rope ~5’ long with a 10lb weight. Drill a hole through the middle of the rod big enough for the rope to pass then tie a big knot in it. Tie the weight to the other end of the rope and hold arms out straight. Roll weight up and down smoothly from the floor to the rod to the floor.

you’ll get a grip rather quickly.

What does the shape of your head when flaccid have to do with anything? And I doubt for any of those lifts you’re squeezing a bar as thick as your penis for as long as 2 or 3 minutes.

I never said I was lifting a bar for more that 2-3 minutes? I hope you didn’t take my reply as a “oh cheers for the help” kind of sarcastic way because it was mot meant like that. I am genuinely grateful for any help.

An example of what i was meaning is for instance I follow 5/3/1 at the moment, So deadlift in a progression up to 90%(ish) of my max then follow it with 5x10 with 50% of that. I do allot of leg raises, pull ups, rows, kroc rows for high reps and while its not in minutes its moving a heavy weight/Body weight back and forth for sets and my grips great.

My flaccid head when trying to grip behind it, my hand just slips forward. There is no lip to my head when flaccid that can hold the grip so I end up holding half my head. Unless I move blood into my head to trap a grip, but that feels wrong and dangerous.

Kettlebells.
