I thought it gave a ton of information about grip strength, if you're interested. http://martialarts.about.com/gi/dyna...pstrength.html (Wow!)

If you like those sorts of exercises I highly recommend the book "Dynamic Strength" by Harry Wong. It has exercises similar to those for the whole body. I got my book for under $10.

You are more likely to fall down the stairs and break your neck if you live in a house with stairs. You are more likely to be in a car accident if you drive to work. You are more likely to be kicked in the nuts or punched in the nose if you practicing the martial arts. - Judge Pen

Excellent Article. A lot of it comes out of the book "Mastery of Hand Strength", by James Brookfield. That guy can roll up a frying pan with his bare hands!!
Another place for great books on hand strength and old time strength training is http://www.superstrengthbooks.com. They have books written by Arthur Saxon and some other guys mentioned in that article.

Guaranteed forearm burn
