“You wouldn’t do your strongest pull-up with just a few fingers… so why hold a barbell like that?” 🧠💪 A strong grip does more than hold on — it activates your whole system. 👉 In pull-ups, a full grip fires up the lats and deep stabilizers of the shoulder. 👉 In front squats, a strong grip engages the upper back and reinforces midline tension. Fingertip front squats? They’re a passive shortcut. They might get the bar in place, but they leave the upper back underdeveloped — and limit carryover to movements like the clean and jerk. Grip = connection. Grip = stability. Grip = strength. Squeeze with intent. Don’t just hold the bar — own it. 🔥 Share & Comment if someone needs this! ✍🏼 #GripMatters #PullUpStrong #FrontSquatForm #NoShortcuts #BarbellBasics #TrainWithPurpose #PowerMonkeyMethod #WeightliftingWisdom
