how do you develop a strong grip strength? do any of you train grip?
"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
