They should gently be squeezed back and pulled down to separate the neck from the head. Nothing should slap on the thighs either, the arms should be straight and be able to keep the weights away from bouncing on the body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being unable to grip correctly, or compensating the grip may, in fact, have a relation between how the shoulder and the scapula interact during certain movements &#8211; overhead in particular.<\/p>\n<h3>See more videos from Swimmer Strength Coach Deniz Hekmati:<\/h3>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-abdominal-bracing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abdominal Bracing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-strength-dryland-technique-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strength and Dryland Technique Matters<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-age-to-start-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Age to Start Dryland Training or Strength Training<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-squat-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Squat Problems<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-performing-the-squat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Performing the Squat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-fixing-the-squat-by-improving-range-of-motion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fixing the Squat by Improving Range of Motion<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-mcgill-3-core-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McGill 3 Core Exercises<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Free Trial of Online Training from Coach Hekmati<\/h3>\n<p>Get more info about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swimmerstrength.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coach Hekmati<\/a> or try his 10-day free online training:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmerstrength.com\/tenDayFreeTrial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.swimmerstrength.com\/tenDayFreeTrial&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1571251970319000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGdQOjGX2-zW2wEwdR-Ir0W037chQ\">https:\/\/www.<wbr \/>swimmerstrength.com\/<wbr \/>tenDayFreeTrial<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Note: All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/coaches-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supervision of a qualified coach or instructor<\/a>, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributed by Deniz Hekmati &#8211; Strength &amp; Conditioning Specialist, Sport Scientist\u00a0 How to grip things is a highly overlooked topic, yet grip strength is correlated to faster sprint performance in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7006,"featured_media":398316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[18,69173,112297],"tags":[27333,65707,45256,42807,109141,26509,27337,26508],"class_list":["post-398314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaches-education","category-dryland","category-swimmer-strength-tech-tip","tag-deniz-hekmati","tag-dryland-activities","tag-dryland-exercises","tag-dryland-training","tag-dryland-workout","tag-strength-training","tag-swimmer-strength","tag-weight-training"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: Gripping - Swimming World<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Grip strength is correlated to faster sprint performance in young swimmers.
