My coach made me play spider guard for months!!! I have never had a grip problem since. Got the judo hands as well. Ugly as fuck but the wife doesn’t complain!From 2007-2013 I trained a lot of grip with IronMind equipment and I did some nail bending. I got into BJJ in 2011 and it really came in handy… as did my neck training lol.
Anyway yea I really enjoyed grip training and I maintain it pretty well from what I do. Now my fingers are pretty destroyed from BJJ so idk if I can get back to it but I do miss it.
And the first thing I look at are peoples ears but forearms are a good way.. ears are more indicative of mat time imo
I a on an extended break from it because of multiple bulging discs. I really miss rolling hard.
