+1 The pinch grip works great.
Try doing them with light plates and thumb and one finger at a time after going heavy....humble pie.
Try hanging from a pullup bar for progressivly longer periods of time.....then try for one handed hangs.
A lot of free climbers train with these rock rings, they can pinch off steal!

I'm wrong.....it's just that if you read earlier I mentioned some expensive aptitude test that I took where they measured max grip strenght with this tool.....it supposedly correlated with something besides muscle strength.
I guess the fools didn't take training as a variable.

I sometimes do one arm barbell suitcase holds. Load up a barbell on pins in the rack (so you don't have to deadlift it from the floor) and stand sideways beside it. Grab it with one hand and do a a side bend to pick it up. Hold it for time and then switch hands.
single arm BB curls are good.
COC grippers are always good.
Soak a bath towel and then try and wring it out completly dry as fast as you can and then do it again.
Throw the bath towel over a pullup bar in to even ends and grab one end with one hand and the other end with the other hand and do pull ups.

I like the BB suitcase holds idea. I'm going to have to try that one. I think I'll try it today.

I thought that maybe I would find a thread that I wanted to comment on already instead of starting a new one. And thanks for the welcome!

I see you're interested in grip training. You should check out ironmind.com if you are looking to buy some products to help you in the regard. Dieselcrew.com is another good site regarding grip training. They have a lot of articles and videos detailing cool exercises you can do to increase grip strength.
Some of my favorite grip exercises:
Towel chinups
Three finger chinups
Static holds
Plate pinches
Farmer's walks (With towels works great too)
One armed gorilla hangs
Suitcase deadlifts
About grip strength being genetic...there is some truth to that....I for one have itty bitty hands...I think this holds me back.
But my grip strength has come a VERY long way since I actually started caring about it.

I tried doing these and they were too hard. I felt like I was going to break them off, I only tried like 4-5.
I have the same problem with little hands. I had horrible grip strength just 4 or 5 months ago. But since I have dropped the straps and it has done wonders. I do most of my deads without straps now. Which is a huge improvement. I used to use the straps with only 225lbs on deads. Now I can dead around 350 with no straps, but whenever i get up around 400 I got to use them. I will work up to none at all though.
I LOVE grip strength training. I have to greatly hold back some of my grip when I shake somebody's hand.
You don't know who I am, do you?
I think I know, now that you mention it. Will you confirm if I get it right?

I haven't read all of this, so forgive me if it's been noted.
One of the things I do for "grip strength"... Buy two of those double strength hand exercise 'thingies' - you know, the handles and spring. Duct tape two of them together. I can do 19 reps w/ my right hand, about 10 w/my left?
It probably doesn't do a lot for you, but it impresses the hell out of people. I've seen barrel-chested 250lb. tough guys that can squeeze it together for 1Rep. More of a beer-drinking party trick.
