Single Arm Deadlift

Hey folks,

Welcome to the first edition in my grip strength development series. Over the coming weeks I will be demonstrating some very simple yet incredibly effective exercises on developing crushing grip strength and endurance. Today's clip focuses on the single arm deadlift.

The Single arm deadlift is a great way of advancing your grip strength simply because you are reliant on the strength of 1 hand to perform the movement, this is much harder for obvious reasons. Not only that but the fact your using a single arm grip in this intance with an Olympic bar, it requires greater control. This is a great combination to gain awesome strength in your hands, wrists and forearms.

Grip strength is beyond having bulky forearms. A combination of strong fingers, hands, ligaments and tendons is vital to get superior gains.

I really hope you find these videos helpful and I'm sure they will add some great value to your training regime.

Try performing the shown exercise for 5 sets of 5 reps (2 progressively heavier warm up sets and 3 working sets) once a week. Once the 3 working sets feel good, add some weight and start with 2 working sets. Again progress to 3 and continue the pattern.

Enjoy
