What's a good exercise to get a stronger grip?

I've been doing wrist curls and using pic related, but my forearms are still weak as fuck.

Hanging from a bar / rings for as long as you can

farmer walk

When deadlifting hold on to your last rep for as long as possible before putting it down.

Pic related.

Also, if you train in any gi-grappling sport (Judo, BJJ, Sambo) you will develop monstrously strong grips, since you'll be swinging around grown humans with them

>>34944987

the one exercise with the wooden grip, the rope and the weight

Bouldering.

I promise your forearm/hand tendons and muscles are on fire after the first few times.

that wrist roller is fcking 10/10. old strength and conditioning coach had one in the gym. fcking great,. havent seen one since though

>>34947259
This.
I built my forearms with deadlifts, bouldering and bjj/MMA.
>>
>>34945189
these are for pussies. 70kg is less than a #1 in CoC.
>>

But this is not for crush strength. Rock climbing is a discipline of NOT opening your hand. Yes, you squeeze a bit harder, a bit. The difference is in your muscles and tendons refusing to "open" once gripped. You grip until friction, then don't let go. This is what is making your hands hurt if you are new to the sport. You will get bigger forearms, but in my progression from V0-V12, I have made an unnoticeable amount of grip crushing strength.

CoC grippers are the true way to grip strength.
>>
>>34947570
It depends how you measure it. Redneck gripper calibration (you attach weights to a 1 inch strap over the lowest part of the grip) rates the CoC guide at 30 lbs and the 0.5 at 70 lbs. Ironmind probably rates the force to close from the middle of the grip around where the middle finger is, which makes sense but it's inconsistent between grippers.

Those ones in the pic may just be giving the spring rating, so closing with 0 leverage p much
>>
>>34945014
This, and static holds. set up a bar like if u would have done with rackpulls. load up the bar with as much as u can hold for 5-10 seconds. repeat..
>>
My forearms and traps both grew when I started doing pause snatches on the reg
>>
>>34947187
the setup in that pick is pretty neat
>>
>>34944987
Farmer's walks.
Get 2 heavy DBs and walk a couple of lengths of a long room.
>>
>>34947784
this. better than the hex bar that people usually use because dumbbells can more easily rotate out of your hand

Question: how do farmer walks differ from simply standing in place while holding the weight?

Static holds such as farmers walks, the last rep of deadlifts held as long as possible, wrist roller (fucking goat), and manual labour are the way to a strong grip.
