Exercise/Body/Strength/Collar Squeeze

• Collar Squeeze

  • Practice hand-grip strength by squeezing a spring barbell collar, then flexing and extending the wrist while holding partial tension.

  • Setup

    • Hold a spring barbell collar in one hand as you would a hand gripper.

  • Practice

    • Squeeze the collar closed and release it until failure. Then hold it with a little tension and move the wrist back into extension and down into flexion, keeping the grip, until you can no longer control it.

  • Dose and Progression

    • Sets and repetitions follow the training plan. The video runs it as a drop-set burnout on each hand, with a Exercise/Body/Strength/Farmer's Carry between sets.

  • Cues and Variations

    • Holding tension with the wrist flexed is hard because the finger flexors are already shortened; that is the part being trained. A hand gripper can replace the collar.
