Homemade Ball Grip Pull Ups

Homemade Ball Grip Pull Ups

Great idea from synergy-athletics.com These grips are homemade with a couple bolts, nuts, and softballs. Ball grip pull ups taxes the grip to a greater extent. Usually used for 1-2 sets of pull ups, and other grips that will allow more reps for the other 2-3 sets.


If you want to up your overall body power and get serious results check out the ever popular and fantastic resource for strength athletes that is the Bull Strength Manual www.bullstrength.com




This one is a no brainer! Drill a hole though a hard ball, pop a bolt with an eye through it, attach a nut and attach the other end to a chain or rope and fix onto your pull up bar.

Alternatively, just make a shorter version and attach weights for training the grip

DIY Grips Strength Gear

How To Make A Wrist Roller

Great video from RAWIRONMAN for making wrist rollers for increasing hand and grip strength

An authentic wrist roller can cost you anywhere from 20 to 30 US dollars. And it's really little more than a rod with a rope on it. I'm going to show you how to make one here for free, improvising with nothing more than old junk that you probably have sitting in your garage or basement right now.

Note: If you should decide to make anything (including any variations thereof) that I ever post a how-to video of on YouTube, I take no responsability for any injuries that might occur as a result. Use good sense when making any do-it-yourself items and always be careful when using them as well.
