Had to look into grip training as I need to get mine up to scratch - snatch grip deadlifts have woken up a big need!

Not many people think about training the forearm extensors - well you should. You train both biceps and triceps, so train both forearm flexors and extensors. First link explains it

nice articles!

i really want to improve my grip strength to do some tricks, like bending nails and crushing cans of soda (my aunt's boyfriend did this yesterday when i told him it was hard). i couldn't do it, and i feel like a little pussy now

that would be awesome to be able to crush a can with your bare hands

it was pretty impressive to see. i've seen it done twice.

I haven't read the articles yet, but I've reschered a LOT about hand strenght. Its defintly a good idea to work on the exstensors and be sure not to neglect pinch grip and wrist strength along with crushing. If you are really serious about Grip strength goto IronMinds website and order John Brookfeilds book on hand strength, I did and the book is absolutly INCREDIBLE! Anyway good luck with your grip.
