I put this together as a fun and tough way to use the various grips (Globe Gripz, Fat Gripz Extreme, and T Grips) I have into one challenge.
The Grip Gauntlet is a fun workout and killer test of grip strength to boot. Check out my buddy Sgt. Jim Vaglica doing the Grip Gauntlet in the vid below.
No, I can’t complete the Grip Gauntlet! Jim has the grip to weight ratio of an orangutan and he didn’t get through it, but I think a few more tries and he would. 😎
If you’re interested in some of the grips shown in this vid and or want to see my discussion on the importance of grip, thick bar training, etc see these articles/vids for more information:

That’s just a messed up way to treat work out partners…thanks for the idea!
LOL 🙂
Very good idea if you are in shape enough to do it.
Hey Will,
Love your stuff and sorry for the delayed comment (was travelling south-east Asia…)
Just one remark:
If you don’t want to change the width of the hold (get narrower or wider as the complex/super-set advances) you can arrange the grips by the same order (for ex. –1-2-3——1-2-3–) so you actually moving to the left or right without changing your grip width. Also, you can use different grips with either hand.
Those were actually two remarks, sorry…
