Can hand grips help bicep muscle growth?!


Question: Can hand grips help bicep muscle growth?
Hi. I recently bought hand grippers, which you grip and press hard, to get some forearm exercises. I need strong forearms for my guitar playing (downpicking, which needs muscle strength).
The question is, is there any way I can use these hand grips for biceps too? I wouldn't like large forearms and thin biceps!!! XD
These are what I'm talking about:

So, any way I could use these to grow my biceps? Thank you!

Answers:

The tools you bought are just for hand grip strength, in turn will make your forearms larger as you said, but just hoped you understand that its meant for improving your grip strength nothing else. So no there isn't really any way it will improve your bicep muscles, remember you also have triceps muscles and deltoids or shoulder muscles in your upper arm. Just buy a pair of dumbbells if your worried about looking dis-portioned, but i wouldn't worry about it if i was you i doubt you'll be getting all that much bigger in the forearms that it would look funny.



yes and no, they enable you to grip the weight more easily and therefore help you to do the exercise with good form. however they won't necessarily make you bigger than someone who doesn't use hand grips if they are performing the exercise well without them.



will not do anything for your biceps and I highly doubt you will see much improvement in your forearms. They are okay for strengthening which I guess is your main goal any with the guitar.



It will work your biceps a little, but not too much...
But don't be afraid, I don't think that anybody can develop Popeye-Arms. :)
