    One of my local friends, yes I have friends, is a powerlifter and before my RC injury he had me shown me a few tricks for grip strength.

    Face two plates (10s are good to start) together to where the smooth sides are facing out. Pinch the plates and hold at your side until they begin to slip, this works not only on your forearms but also your grip itself.

    I went from using 2.5s up to 25s by the time I hurt my RC..
    Back to the basics!

      Here are a couple of articles, but try grabbing a 5 or 10 Lb plate by the lip around the center and twist from side to side, get Captins of Crush grippers, and do timed gripper work.

                  i like to take a set of dumbells usually a pretty descent weight maybe 80-90lbs and make sure i have a clear walk way usually from one side of the gym to the other and then put a bench at my starting point. and walk to the furthest wall from me and back. also grabbing 45lb plates with the finger tips work. or if you want to take tips from rock climbers they like to hang from off the pull up bars by their finger tips one hand at a time until failure.( which is also not bad for making your back wider if you decide you want to just hang and contract your lats until your grip fails[not that you need it Aries])
