I have been using this footbal now for some exersises that are supposed to help you catch better:[url]http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1744396&cp=&keywords=weighted+football&searchId=10403879331&clickid=topnav_search_txt&parentPage=search[/url] however I just want to know if I can do other exersises for the finger and hand strenght.
I NEED IT BECAUSE IM A WIDE RECEIVER
you dont need finger and hand strength as a wide out. you need hand-eye coordination and to not be afraid of the ball.
I think hand-eye coordination are very important also, and at the highschool level thats probably what you need to get better at, but hand strength will get more important as you get into college. The ball comes alot faster and if you want to make those shoe string catches you need strong hands.
excersise:
Plate holds- take three ten pound plates and hold them together as long as you can, then repeat once or twice
Wrist rolls- its pretty much a stick with a rope attatched to it and a wieght at the other end of the rope, you stick your arms out and roll the stick until the weight is up to the top.
Thank you. Im alreday getting better a my hand eye cordination and afraid of the ball is (OUT OF THE QUESTION) my gaol now is to add size and my catches over the middle and in front of 3 people!
if u really want to work on your hand strength i would suggest plate pinching, this works on the forearm(your grip), all u do is take two wieghts and put them facing eachother smooth side out, and see how long u can hold on to them.
Deadlifts and heavy back work.
Thanks all of these are now going to be part of my routine!
Static holds, wrist roller, plate pinches. I really like wrist roller myself.
If you want grip try the captains of crush grippers.

I like it too. My dad made me one about 3-4 years ago, starting to really use it after losing some forearm strength with a broken wrist during basketball season.
Great, simple exercise and easy to make.
Towel Pull-Ups. Throw a towel over a pull-up bar and hold on to the towel and pull yourself up to each side alternating every rep or every set.
