Check out the strength and power forum. A lot of us do grip work in there.

These are a must for another serious about grip work: Captains of Crush hand grippers and training tools for building hand strength - IronMind

I'd also recommend pinch grips with weights, towel/gi pullups, wrist roller (although that's more for wrist strength), hub for hub pinches, thickbar for lifting, etc.

That grapple grip looks like a rip off. Basically, you are buying a small thick bar to attach to cables for $100. The claim that other grip work doesn't transfer is ridiculous.

CoC's are where it is at.

Build a wrist roller.

Use a towl for towel chins/pullups.

Dumbbell farmer walks/holds.

pinch grip stuff.

how do u like the produccts?

[FIGHTER1980]

I like them quite a bit. I don't use the yo-yo that much but the other pieces I use once a week. At the end of my bicep workout I'll alternate between the grip machine and the wicked wrist roller for 4 sets and then I'll do the leverage bar (I just got a couple weeks ago) for 3x15. Ironmind products are a little pricey but very great quality.

Ever tried throwing an old gi top over a pull up bar and doing pull ups while holding on with a collar choke grip? Simple, cheap, effective.

Now that I think about it, as long as you have a pull up bar that won't tear your gi top, you can use your current gi top.

Do you have a pull-up bar at home? If not you can always go to a sports store and buy one that fits in a doorway for $30 or so.

yes i hav one i normally do towel but now considering a gi sounds really awsome!! i actually just found an old tae kwon do gi!
