Hey, cool. Thanks for those links.

So I guess you started with gripper 2 then? That's pretty strong to start with. How long did it take you to conquer the #2?

I was looking at the Ironmind catalogue that came with my gripper and liked those eagle strap finger loops a lot, and those pinch grip machines, though they look a little bulky. The pinch grip blocks looked like they'd just slip out of my hands, so I'm not into that.

I've also gotten a kettlebell, and as I get into better shape and able to do more reps with that, that should be giving my grip endurance some work. I've always had decent grip endurance for some reason anyway, despite not having much strength. But I think it will be a fun challenge to see if I can work up some actual grip strength, too.

A quick question for you. Do you find exercises like seated wrist curls -- the kind where you put the back of your forearm on your thigh while sitting down, hang a weight over your knee, and curl it up -- helpful for grip work? I used to use those all the time and they put a little bit of meat on my forearm(though not enough), but they didn't seem to do a thing for my grip.
