Like a lot of people, I feel that the main limiting factor at the moment for me to get stronger for calisthenics is my grip and palm endurance.
I’m following these general guidelines:
- Grip strength will help with pain and ability to hang for longer, so I’m focusing on gaining there.
- Palm over the bar grip while training helps to gain forearm and grip strength, as well as for having good active hang form.
- No chalk. I should be able to hang comfortably from a wet bar.
I was wondering how y’all are dealing with these; what’s your personal tips?
- Chalk / no chalk ?
- Pumice stone for calluses ?
- Hand cream ?
- Some specific grip strength exercise ?
Cheers!
