Any routine/exercise to help grip strength and squeezing endurance.

[MMouse]

After grappling for a few months, I find having good grip strength and squeezing endurance helps alot.

However, class structures, partners vary from session to session.

I was looking to asks if anyone here knows a good routine or exercises to help supplemental their grip strength and squeezing endurance.

Thanks in advance

-Chin-ups/pull-ups with a towel or gi.
-Use hand grips or stress ball.

Hammer curls and plate grabs. Get a 25lb bumper plate ( the rubber plates that are used by crossfitters or Olympic lifters) and just hold them by your side for a minute for several rounds.

Do those hand grips actually work?

I feel like heavy deadlifting and light sets of RDLs for high reps really help my grip.

Try the captains of crush ones. They are a bit more hardcore than the normal ones. Start with an easier one. Put it in your car when ever you drive somewhere just do a few reps. Keep the reps low, if you can do high reps it's too easy. Your grip strength will improve in no time.

Yeah they do their job. I use them mostly for forearms and wrist conditioning, but they also help with grip strength. Obviously, there are better exercises with gym equipments, but for a cheap way, while you watch some TV for example, they do a pretty decent job...

Edit:
And like @Mr Rick said, there is a variety of type to choose from. From soft/low level, to very hardcore ones...

Rock climbing.

Rope climbing.

Sled drags pulling and push pulling with ropes (can do these one handed for bonus cross-body/stabilization work).

Buy Fat Gripz if you hit the gym often.

The rice bucket is a fantastic tool for grip and hand strength.
-Put your hand inside a pretty big bucket, 3-5 Gallons.
-Fill with uncooked rice up to a few inches above the wrist
-open/close/pronate/supinate/flex/extend your hand and wrist
Do it with less effort for time (endurance) and do it forcefully/explosive for strength.

I've found grip strengtheners to be useful. I use kettlebells as well, which really helps with my grip.

Judo.




But outside of that climbing is probably one of the best things for grip and finger strength and endurance.

-Use hand grips or stress ball.

Suprising that more people don't use or mention these. Very accessible and easy to use - squeeze for reps, isometic holds, single fingers, etc.

Also, crumpling up sheets of paper.

I don't want to underestimate the importance of grip strength, but as a new grappler you need to learn when to loosen up on your grips and to use structures. If your grips are getting toasted, chances are that you're gripping for dear life for long stretches of time when you don't need to be.

Good ole one armed pull ups.

Shakeweight

Not just grip specific but I find farmers carries just smash my grips, forearms and core
