I am sad. Gym say cannot Farmers Walk around with dumbbells. It was improving my grip immensely that I was better at lifting everything (even those that didn't specifically require grip strength).

Health hazard he says, and I can respect that.

Besides deadlifting the dumbbells up and gripping it static, any other practical ways to improve grip at the gym?

I've tried dead-hangs on the pullup bar, hammer curls, and just plain gripping the bar at a lighter weight from a deadlift position.

Nothing seems to come close to the satisfaction of Farmers Walk. What's the next most effective method to powerup my grip without buying one of those iron grippers (that cons your money because each increment is a new purchase)

Thx yous
