Foam Rolling for Grip Athletes, Strongmen and Arm Wrestlers
This is a guest article/video submission from my friend Joe Musselwhite, who has trained dozens if not hundreds of athletes from high school sports players, to Grip Athletes, Strongmen, and Arm Wrestlers. Here, he tells us the science behind foam rollers and then shows us how to take advantage of the benefits of SMR work.

Several weeks ago my good friend and Grip Enthusiast Jedd Johnson wrote an article asking the question, Are Foam Rollers Crap?
This Week’s Grip Challenge: Plate Curl for Reps
Hello DIESELS!
If you go to a website and it talks about Grip Training and how there are only three forms of Grip, you might want to go somewhere else for your information. The Wrist is extremely important in developing a truly strong grip, especially when you consider that Grip is everything from the elbow down to the fingertips.
With that in mind, this weeks challenge is the 25-lb / 10-kg Plate Curl for Reps.
The Plate Curl should a staple in the routine of any Grip Competitor, Strongman Competitor, and really any athlete who has to have strong, injury-free wrist and fingers in order to excel.
