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.

Nice to have you here, Kansetsu!
1) Sanchin or Nigiri Game. Have 'em, love 'em.
2) Getting those Olympic bar calluses back now. (Wouldn't mind a real Bar visit now and then either...) Legs are coming along, but that lower back is still struggling. Makes squats, deads and the Olympic lifts hard.
3) Got three of the Captains on hand. (If you'll pardon the pun.
) One hand was broken a few years ago, and I didn't heal it as well as I should. Now the grip on that side is a pathetic imitation of the other.
Keep 'em coming!
Osu!
