I'm talking about manly grip work... Holding the hammer is minimal compared to 2" bar holds, farmer's walk, deadlifts, grippers, etc
well, if i were better at it, then i would disagree, but i'm not, so you are right
i think i am going to invest in a pair of grippers eventually and i can hold on to 500lbs+ without straps, at least until my sweat takes over
(the elite throwers develop nearly 800lbs of force on the handle before release as they make the 16lb ball move ~30+ meters/second...i would say that is pretty decent grip work - but i'm no where near that level =P)
