Is that thing with the cable more for working the wrist than the actual grip? It seems that grip strength would be secondary in that excercise.

Working hard, up to 4 consecutive trips up and down now, arms and grips are a lot stronger now but some time might want to check out one of those Captain's of Crush dealys to see how it relates to this type of continuous working of both wrist and forearms, here is a quick shot using my daughters inexpensive camera, the pipe is 1 1/2" inside opening, drilled one hole in the middle to insert the cable, drew the cable down and out the one end and knotted it so it won't slip back through the hole, the weight has a flat bar with a hole through it that the cable passes through, the flat bar then can slip through the hole in the weight...
Keeping the pipe as horizontal as possible with arms almost fully extended out, 4 times up and down with out stopping, then three sets of 3 times and a final set of 2, forearms feel like they will burst, and it makes it difficult to TYPE!

I'm still trying to find the article on this guy that supposedly had the world's strongest grip. He did a variation of this pipe and cable exercise with a phenomenal amount of weight. Thing is he did it out his two or three story apartment buiding fire escape all the way down to the ground, and all the way back up. Whew!!!

Whoa, glad I live on the ground floor! hehe
I'll stick with the cable and was going to add more weight but will weight until I can do the 4 reps with less effort!
