Mid-Tension Hand Grip Good For beginners?
My personal trainer has suggested I work on my grip strength as he thinks that it is restricting me from reducing heavier(ie I have to lift lower weight as I do have trouble getting a good grip sometimes).
So I decided to get a hand grip tool and do it while I am watching tv. I have no clue what is good so I just went to the store and bought a pair for
On the box there was no indication on the tension but now looking at the online site I see it is mid tension(not sure what the number for mid tension is)
Mid Tension Hand Grip
I was doing it yesterday and it is not too bad on my right hand(my dominate hand). I would have to double check but I think I can almost close it. With my left hand I get maybe half way.
I am not sure if I need a lower tension or if it is good what I have. I probably will get my trainer to check it out and see as well but always good to hear other thoughts.
Also even though it came with 2 of them I just use one and do 10 reps and then switch hands as I find it a bit easier to do then.
As I side question is this kind of design for hand grips any good?

I recently purchased 200, 250 and 300 lb grips from Heavy Grip (http://heavygrips.com/). I'm closing the 200 with about 5-7 reps with both hands and just starting to close the 250's. So, to determine real progress, I would suggest grips with known resistance. In regards to having both hands un-equal, I think that's common for beginners and probably shows up if you're using dumbbells for lifts (instead of barbells where one hand/side can compensate for the other). My recommendations:
get grips with the resistance marked on them, you'll only need one of each weight you're working on (I only work one hand at a time)
when lifting, see if your personal trainer agrees, use dumbbells so you're not overcompensating
dead lifts are great grip exercises - last rep, hold on as long as you can, this will build your grip strength (same with pull ups)
