deadlifts raw will improve hand strength like nothing else.

Make sure you are lifting raw. No gloves, wraps, straps, etc.

This is correct. Pick up heavy weight with your bare hands. Rinse and repeat

Lift weights without using straps, gloves, etc.

I have a better idea...tap the side of the jar lid on the counter top to break the seal and it will be easy to open. That would be the smart person thing to do.

most back exercises will help
