what can i do to increase my and grip strength? i know about reverse curls and behind the back wrist curls and winding up a rope tied to a weight...but they don't seem to be increasing my hand or grip strength.
and those little grip machines for you to squeeze on at like walmart and academy suck they don't do squat.

farmer walks, or static holds

I started deadlifting recently and my grip strength really shot up. You could also try doing wrist curls...

In summary:
1. Heavy holds.
2. Heavy hangs.
3. Direct work.Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

Do worry about grip strength. If your compounds are increasing in weight then your forearms will follow."Hai guys Im reading Plato's Republic, Thrasymachus is an epic troll but he gets counter trolled by Socrates over and over, bitch needs to LEARN." -Gancor

Try some of these

Also the good old plate pinch

This is true, do not spend to much time on it. Maybe just a few grip excercises at home on your off days or at the end of a workout.Originally Posted by LarryByrd

Thick bar work, plate pinches, hexhead dumbell holds will all help for grip strength. But to help out even more, here you go- http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=2778361
