I hear stories all the time about how old-time strongmen had rediculous hand and grip strength. Anyone know how they developed it?
I’m asking because my grip is my weak-point when snatching and cleaning. I’ve been doing farmers walks, and that helps some, but these guys had freaky strength.

They had better grip than a lot of people today but not greater than current strongmen etc… and a lot of the things they did were parlor tricks, like ripping decks of cards etc… these are difficult, but seem more difficult than they are. But they DID have strong grip.
