A judo grip strengthening exercise is to simply open and close your hands until you feel a burn. No equipment required.

Sounds easy until you try to do 100 reps.

You ain’t kidding,just did a 100 with a hard squeeze on each one and the burn got bad at 60.i made it to 100 but can’t believe that burned so bad.

Just squeeze or pinch something as hard as you can for 6-10 seconds.

Try varying the size of things you use.

Things to use:

Towels
Foam rubber
Ball
Bar
Post
Weight plates
Grippers
Anything you want

At first it seems like you’re wasting your time, then you reach the  “Oh Fuck” moment.

A good part of Judo is gripping so a lot of good techniques and exercises have developed.

Gripping a tennis ball is another good one.

Hang from a chin bar. Just hang for as long as you can.

For pinch and supports, I always liked this style of trainer -

.

That being said, I always get the best overall grip work from plain old thick bar work in the 2" - 2 1/2" range. Mostly the 2". Timed holds also worked well.

Never cared for grippers, they're neat for quick demonstrations, but my hands always felt too wrecked when using them in actual programming.

If I do buy another grip tool, it might be an anvil trainer just for fun -

.

or maybe a climbing board -

.

The ideal is 'progressive resistance'...Being able to increase the resistance so you can get measurably stronger. Most of these gadgets and exercises don't do that. Just hanging from a bar is isometric which we know is not as effective as actually moving through a range of motion.

 The old-fashioned Farmer's Walk helps too. Grab something moderately heavy and walk around with it.
