Improoving grip strength

[fangshi]

Right now I do chin ups with a towel thrown over the bar and hold on to both end of the towel . Works pretty good but was looking for something that isolates the gripping motion more . Have a dozen or so of those grip things that are like squezing a pair of pliers but they get easy really fast .

Anybody got a new exercize or two I can throw into my work out .

Thanks

To strenghten the grip, get a tennis ball and squeeze it over and over.

Cheap and effective

I use a lot of the traditional Okinwan hojo undo (gripping jars, stone locks, weight hammers, etc). Works well for me, as it isolates various gripping specific muscles as well as some good martial arts muscles in general.
