I usually have a weak grip but at times when my hand is really dry after washing it off it gets better. How do I get a stronger grip?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I used grip trainer "Heavy Grips" from 150-300lbs of resistance. Also you can do hold weight for time using your grip. The "heavy grips" did help, and made nicer looking forearms. They are also great stress relievers during the business day.

The most benefitial workout with my heavy grips were "static holds" where you hold the grip closed for as long as you can.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

In my experience the only way to get a better grip is to lift heavy weights. Deadlifts in particular. But other that increasing strength all over, I have nothing to help. No matter how much I train my forearms, some dude can come along who has natural grip strength and crush me in a handshake if he wanted.
Best bet, if you have weak hands/forearms, is simply to maximize them so you aren't a weakling. But if your wrist/bone structure is small, forget about them ever being a strength.
I do suggest a lot of hanging exercises, they have created cool striations in my forearms. Gives you an illusion of power I guess.

Get "Captains of Crush" grippers....extremely well made and your hands feel like jello afterwards...
Also look into things call FatGripz that slide over DB's and barbells and force your forearms to do a lot more work
