Tommy Lymath began his grip training journey in early 2018, as a competitive strongman where he began learning about the benefits of a strong grip. Seeking more information on the best methods to train grip strength Tommy found himself documenting his own training and creating tools to develop his grip. This led to him establishing Gods Of Grip in 2018 with the goal being to continue developing their line of grip tools, innovating training/the grip scene, and spreading the importance of a strong grip. Gods Of Grip has a full line of grip strength and training equipment while also providing a platform for lifters to compete regularly and test themselves against some of the strongest grips in the world. We discuss a little bit of his journey, some of Tom's favorite lifts, and other aspects of Grip Strength competitions. Be sure to check out Gods Of Grip on social media for more of their updates and content like "Men In Sheds" a podcast based around strength and grip that Tom hosts with Paddy Haynes.
