Anyone here train grip/for grip sport?

I do but feel like I’m in the minority on this. I’ve closed the IronMind #3.5 and GHP Level 8 grippers and was coached by one of the biggest names in grip.

You should.

I've been seriously targeting my grip/forearms since January. Before that they just got hit when doing deadlifts, pullups, rows, etc. Finally getting a lil forearm bicep. I can hang from the bar for 2.5 minutes now, was at about 1.5 before. Single arm I can go for about 1. Held a 20 second single arm flexed hang last week.
I know it's not impressive but I'm pumped because it's an improvement for me.

I've started adding in farmer's carries twice a week, partially for grip training and to alleviate arm pump while riding mountain bikes. Currently up to 85lbs in each hand for 50 yards or so. Set of 3. Trying to work my way up to carrying my body weight (195 lbs).

Bought some Alpha-Z extensor trainers a while back. Gives me something to do when sitting at a desk. Helps with the golfer’s elbow.

I use fat grips on my farmers walk handles. I also have some iron mind grippers in my desk drawer at work that I use when I have time and think about it. Not training for any competition, just part of my general routine.

This!
Grip training always focuses too much on the “grip” muscles and not enough on the extensors.

Impressive to me! That’s a long time for single arm.
Try to do single arm hang toes-to-bars. Very difficult!

Seems like farmer's carries would adequately train this while targeting other areas as well.

Other than the normal stuff like deadlifts and farmer's walks, I use a wrist roller. It has done wonders for my golfer's elbow.

Just got back from a few days of downhill mountain biking at Angelfire. I could definitely tell a difference in the amount of arm pump I suffered compared to previous years. I'd usually end up with forearms aching after a day of riding. By the second day, I'd often have to stop during a run to relax and shake out my hands because my fingers/hands hurt so bad from braking and holding on through bumps and chatter.
I rode for two solid days without any significant issues on a bike that probably has worse suspension than what I've ridden with in the past... so definitely an improvement from the farmer's carries that I added into my routine.
