About Grip Strength Specialization
Grip Strength: The Real Test
It’s wild how most folks skip over grip work, but honestly, everything starts with your hands. If you’re serious about power or just want to stop your forearms from giving up before your back, this is for you. I track your progress with a grip dynamometer measurement, so we know exactly where you stand, not just guesswork.
The Tools You Won’t Find Elsewhere
My gym is kitted out like nowhere else in Bangalore.
- The Axle Bar: Thick, slick, and twice as tough as normal bars - every lift here is a battle for your hands.
- The Saxon Bar: Square, painful, super rare. It’s a humbling piece of kit.
- Anvil grip strength test: Think blacksmith challenge, but for your palms and fingers. Pure, raw stuff.
- Grippers: Adjustable, heavy, and even a 300-pound “impossible” one.
- Extras: Fat Grips, Gyro Balls, plate pinch grip workout... enough to fry your fingers.
How We Train
No fancy stuff, no filters. We focus on lifts that make your hands do all the work - double overhand axle deadlifts, Saxon bar deadlifts, Anvil grip lifts. If you want a ‘Shabash!’ from me, you gotta earn it - plate pinching, plate flipping, closing the big grippers.
Up for It?
I run tryout days for the Saxon and Anvil bars sometimes. If you’re feeling gutsy, Adi-chennu vachukko goyya (come have a go, bro). Planning a 2025 Grip Championship, too. If you’re bored of regular gym routines, this is where you break the mold.

My Story
Chasing dreams, that’s been my thing since I was a kid staring at a green Kawasaki Ninja in some old magazine. Took me years, loads of setbacks too—tendinitis, burnout, all that jazz. But I built Basebell after six years of grinding, so I could train like a real athlete again. I’m always learning, whether I’m coaching or just being the student. Bikes, training, open roads—routine and passion, that’s what keeps me going. If you’re here, you’ll see I keep it real.
