What is the best grip training device that will help me with holding onto more weight with deads and shrugs? I was thinking something like this MD Adjustable Gladiator Grip In addition to doing other forearm work.
Are there any other exercises that I can do to strengthen my grip. Using straps has killed my grip, but I dont want my strength to go do right away so I am looking to work my way up to only using straps on my heaviest sets. I only started using straps because there is no chalk allowed in my gym and the bar was always slimy. Years of usings straps on most of my sets has taken its toll.
