As a power lifter, you have to have a STRONG grip in order to hold onto all the heavy weight (no straps allowed in competitions). There are several things that one can do...

1: Pinch Hold. This is were you hold a weight (depending on your strength) with only your fingers for a length of time. Old Okinawa Karate training has something similar like this...this training comes from the old Shaolin Temple days, Utilize a Jar filled with water and hold the jar by the tip (forgot the name of that particular Jar).

2. Exercise: Basic training is just that. Workout with heavy weights. Meaning, Heavy Farmer's walks, Heavy Deadlifts, etc.

3: Equipment: Can utilize grip training equipment. For example, the Captain's of Hand Gripper. These gripper range from lowly 90 pounds all the way up to 400+ pounds per hand.

There are more, but can't seem to remember them.
