Hoi Jenas,
maybe I can answer this one as I am a functional fitness coach. Hand or grip-strength can be reached with lots of exercises, and your guitar playing can benefit from this training as well as your health and fitness. If only the grip is your interest why don't you get a gripper like the Captains of Crush? These tools are used by athletes all around the world and the Guide-, Sport- and/or Trainer-model will fit your needs pretty well. Of course you can go up if you like to train with these units. John Wood's functional hand strength website offer a lot of tips and tricks about them, plus you can also get them there. Additionally or when you are more focused on complete strength and some conditioning you can work out 2-3 times a week. Bodyweight exercises like the chin up or pull-up will develop grip strength as well as strength all over our upper body. combine them with some squats and push-ups (maybe on fingers if you get strong enough). Other possibilities to train grip and the rest of your body would be kettlebells (exercises like swing, highpull, snatch), iron clubs (search on youtube for "trial by fire" CST) or the classic barbell (with exercises like the deadlift, clean...) are just a few ideas. Maybe check my website for more info about that stuff!

I have not experience about this but the only thing that I can suggest is to consult with a professional in order to avoid getting a periodical pain. -------------------- My lessons

This may be a relaxation and flexibility issue rather than strength

thank you for replies
 I do normal rows, as well with back flyes and external arm rotation for my shoulders. Isn't deadlift a little overkill? |
