Homemade Grip Strength Tools
If you are ignoring developing your forearms and hands along with the rest of your body, you are missing out on developing an important link in your strength. The stronger those muscles are the more weight you can pick up. A stronger grip will benefit everyone even during your day to day activities. There are a lot of workouts to be done with the usual weight equipment and there are many different ways you can exercise your hands. Here are some pieces of equipment you can make yourself to use to workout the muscles from different directions.
How about two tennis balls. If you can do pull-ups you should try this exercise. With a pull-up bar, hold the two tennis balls at the top of the bar. You want to grip the balls with the tips of your fingers while the bar is pressed tightly into your palms. Do your pull-ups this way and you will definitely feel it in your fingers.
Try doing Softball pull-ups. You need two Softballs, two long threaded eyebolts, two washers and nuts, chain and two strong carabineers or hooks. Drill a hole through the Softballs large enough to push the eyebolts through. Place one washer and thread one nut onto each ball. You then take two short pieces of chain of same length. hang them over the pull-up bar and hook the two ends of each chain onto the eyebolts by way of the carabineers or hooks. Make sure they are strong enough to hold your weight. Grip the Softballs with your hands and do your pull-ups.
You see, there are lots of things you can do to work on your grip strength. You are only limited by your imagination. Try these two workouts and you will feel the difference.
