I thought we should get a thread started on grip training. I found this over at www.dieselcrew.com.

Pretty cool article on how to make grip tools on the cheap. Check it out.

Also you should check out John Brookfield's grip tips on Ironmind. He has one of the strongest all around grips in the world, and is an amazing bar bender.
He likes to use anything you can find around your house and yard to train grip, like bricks, 2x4's, hammers, and other things like that.
He has got some real good stuff!

There are some great grip tools over at Ironmind. The purpose of posting the article from Dieselcrew was the fact that you can make alot of the grip tools that you need very inexpensively. And, you can have fun doing it too.

I just started getting serious with my grip training. Got the no.1 COC gripper 2 weeks ago, closed it no problem on my first try, now I can max out at 20 reps so I got the no. 2 gripper last week and it was much harder, however I closed it on my first try also! I cant do more than 1 rep at a time but its getting easier! Ive heard that if I can do 10 with the no.2 I can close the no.3, I dont see that as being too far off. Ive been walking around the gym challenging people to close my no.2 gripper and so far no one can do it but me! Im so cool!
