5 Reasons to Use Split Grip in Weight Training



Hey Surge Squad! Whether you're a seasoned lifter or just starting out, you've probably noticed different grip techniques in the gym. One of the most effective and commonly used is the split grip. Here are five reasons why you should consider incorporating a split grip into your weight lifting.


1️. Enhanced Core Strength

By having one weight up and one down, you engage your core to stabilize.

 

2️. Increased Grip Strength

The split grip allows you to engage different muscle groups in your hands and forearms, promoting better grip strength.

 

3️. Unilateral Training

Helps correct muscle imbalances by forcing each side to work independently, promoting symmetry and strength.


4. Better Balance

Split grip increases stabilizer muscle activation which helps improve balance and body awareness in space.

 

5️. Versatile Applications

Perfect for various exercises, from squats to lunges to deadlifts, a split grip can spice up your routine and challenge your body in new ways!


Try the split grip used in the TOTW "Booty Wurk". It targets your legs, back and core in a whole new way.
