Reply With QuoteLooks kinda cool. I can't tell from that picture; is there isotonic movement involved, or are you just grabbing the handles in an isometric fashion?

plate loaded grip machine
Anyone ever use this machine to work your grip/forearms? What do you think of it? I've just started using it. I figure my gym has one, so I might as well give it a try.

I assume that with that machine you move the weight from an open grip to closed grip. Otherwise why not just do static holds?

My old gym hand that machine and I loved it! I usually stay away from machines work but after using it for ony one month my grip strength went up huge. It also made my deads and pullups easier. I would give it a try.

Agreed. My old gym had this as well, I kinda felt stupid because I was the only person I ever saw that used it, but I liked it.

I would definitely take advantage of a dedicated gripping tool. I still might get me one of those heavy duty grippers like the Captain of Crush line.

I haven't purchased one yet. I need to somehow budget it in though. Those things are pretty cool. Originally Posted by Sybersnott

I absolutely LOVE this machine. If this is in any of you guys gym, then I'd highly recommend using it everytime you go to your gym. I'm slowly working on my 100 reps of 270lbs. Right now, I can only do 30+reps. I LOVE grip strength training, I'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' a CoC#4 gripper. I am DETERMINED to close it. lol Originally Posted by I Are Baboon

1RM Bench Press: 455lbs. 1RM Squat: 780lbs. 1RM Deadlift: 505lbs.
Plate-Loaded Grip Machine: Grip 270lbs. for 30+reps using both hands.
