What is the best way to develop super strong grip?

That's the level I'm trying to get to.

Just start with a chicken and work your way up...

Just start with a chicken and work your way up...

We all gotta start somewhere right?

Ironically enough I've talked with a few old people who used to do that way back in the day.

They always say the same thing, "Grab the chicken by the neck, swing it and the neck will snap on the second time around."

Old school Kung Fu death grip and Adams Apple rip out.........reminds me of something SMM would do!

You can wrap them around any bb/db/machine with a straight grip. You will prob experience soreness and a pump after 1-2 sets, so I would suggest that you go by feel. Technically you can perform any exercise, but some exercises are almost impossible with serious weights, like db/bb rows, deadlifts, chins and upright rows. I use them as much as possible, my last/heaviest sets excluded.
Since you're a woman, keep in mind that these grips are pretty thick. For an indication, grab the end of an olympic bar. Hope this helps

Yeah, I've used them before, they are thick. I also have smaller than average hands so who knows if it's hands or grip strength ...either way, it'd be good to improve grip strength. It really gets in the way with bb rows. I noticed my forearms were dying while the rest of me was fine.

Price you gotta pay for disturbing a man who is in the middle of repping out 660 pounds on bench or executing a multi million dollar 2,245% return stock trade.

I did Hex dumbbell holds.

Some form of wrist curls.

And some other stuff. My fingers writing this.

I won't buy gripper cause shipping will cost too much.

Try one of these. It's cheaper.

I recall an old boxing movie from the 1930s or 40s where The Champ said squeezing on a tennis ball every day will turn your punches into TNT.

Great for foot massage, as well.

Just put one on the floor and roll your foot back and forth over it.

Very underrated piece of equipment.

[Lustral]

To stop guys who try to be dicks when shaking your hand, by trying to squeeze your fingers, extend your index finger, and shake hands with your hand shaped like a gun.

This changes the angle of your hand and forces the other guy to grab higher up by your palm, extending his fingers more and putting him in a bad leverage position.

If you do this, even a guy with a bear grip won't be able to crush your hand.

I was at a party and, as happens, got asked to arms wrassle someone (seen as I was the big guy). Nailed guy 1. Nailed guy 2. Guy 3 was wheeled out. Soon as he put some weird grip on my hand I felt something was up. After a struggle he nailed me.... it was a set up  Got him back though when a girl asked to see non-functional muscles.

Grip is one thing

Forearm size is another

Much like Calves, genetics do seem to play a larger part in that if you don't have them (forearms or calves) you pretty much never will

Doesn't mean you can't grip

Nor does it mean you can't do insane poundages on Calf Raises

[Parker]

Bodyweight grip exercise:
Overhand Clasp of hands in front of you, and pull with one hand, while doing "pull" reps with fingers of the hand that is under the clasped hand, doing for sets of 30. Then do the other hand.

Put both hands together interlocking, with thumbs facing the face, then grip, you will notice your forearms tensing. Do sets of 30.

Like what was mentioned, genetics and hand size play a big part, but even the most feeble of bbers can develop impressive strength in just a couple months. I trained it for years using unconventional methods then stopped when I started developing arthritis and overgrown dorsal interossei. Phonebooks tearing is meant for parties, great if you're in the 1200+ page range , gets a laugh out of broads and sometimes gets their pants off too, especially if their black.

[AmonRa]

How often should I do those exercises? Can you train grip everyday?

Negative. Train grip 2x weekly in my opinion. You can absolutely over train your forearm flexors.

Mike Dayton, an 1980's & early 1990's strong man had a legendary grip. I trained with Mike many many times.  He could tear phone books, license plates, decks of cards, he could roll up frying pans and the most crazy thing he did IMO was bend coins.  He taught me everything EXCEPT coin bending- I could never do it.

Google him and read some of his stuff. Crazy grip strength. Bottom pic is Mike breaking handcuffs. Very painful. His wrist are scared badly to this day.

Sage advice right there from the Wishbone.

One thing no-one seems to have mentioned is the need to train the extensors as well as the flexors. Heavy duty rubber bands is probably the best for this. Add more bands as you progress to increase resistance.

For grip I always found a mix of never using straps, dead hangs, plate pinches, wrist roller, CoC's and squash balls did the job well. Also used to hold a barbell behind my back in a standing position and roll it up and down in my fingers, you can continue the movement into a behind the back wrist curl too.
