Thanks everyone for the advice because I just got started on the pony clamp & fingertip push-ups.
I am working on my thumbs & one finger at a time with the pony clamp but I'm now trying for the Bruce lee 2 finger push ups. I'm trying to get to where I can master the fingertip push ups before getting back with the grippers.

I agree with Chris's comment about using movement. Much of the pinching routines for the thumb are static. The pony clamp is the best way to isolate the thumb from several different angles. I use it primarily to "bodybuild" my thumb pad by going for higher reps and really squeezing the muscle tight throughout the ROM. It's great because thick thumb pads are the key to big grippers.
