climber511 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 You may already have this but first in my mind is a good Olympic Barbell Set and enough weight plates to always challenge you. I seldom (like never) see a great grip on a weak overall body. You will develop a pretty fair grip just doing all the basic strength exercises. I would then probably add either a set of Fat Grips or a couple thick handled dumbbells in 2" and 2 3/8" (these are easy enough to make yourself). It's really not about having all the "toys" but just using progressive strength principles to develop the basic muscle groups involved. As an example have you ever seen someone who could wrist curl 200# that didn't have a heck of a grip? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gripmaniac Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 You could perhaps consider an axle. Given the good job you did with that revolving handle it shouldn't be too hard for you to make one. Thickbar work will really make a difference to your grip - particularly if you use it for more than just deadlifts. I wouldn't go past what Chris has mentioned with the thick-handled dumbbells either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
