how do you develop a strong grip strength? do any of you train grip?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

"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.

During my time as a tennis player, I used that thing:

(well, not exactly that one ... omg forget these fvcking LEDS and sound effects plz ^^)
it became pretty mainstream some years after I first used it, but I think it's worth the money... at least for improving your grip strength when playing tennis.

Grippers made the biggest difference for me. The exercises in the second post are all good too.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

grippers develop crushing strength, not grip strength. they're not the same thing at all unless you train with grippers in a particular way (rather than doing reps you do a full or partial close and hold it for a minute or two).
if you want to develop grip strength you can do heavy DB/BB holds, plate pinches, farmers walks, etc.
for me, the only thing I do is NOT use straps on anything. eventually your grip will develop on it's own once you start holding on to heavy weights for a minute or more at a time.
honestly most of my grip strength and forearm size came from raw deadlifts. like this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=vEVMDIRHe9A

I agree with md3sign. Before I read his post I was thinking...you know, theres more aspects to grip than just squeezing things in the palm of your hand.
