    Have you noticed a difference in size? Some of the guys I work with modified the "forearm broomstick attached to rope attached to weight thingy" from a broomstick handle to a 3" wide PVC handle and it is killer. Not convinced yet that it'll necessarily add size though.

    Yeah I have noticed a difference and my grip strength is unreal! Can dead life 500lbs for reps with no straps without my grip giving out at all...and while on sauce they make your forarms grow like crazy! farmers walks and hammer curls all day long with fat grips and you will have some crazy grip strength!

    You can also buy thick bars which are olympic bars that have about double the width of a regular bar and although they are tough to get use to they are amazing for grip strength! they also are much easier on your joints! they cost an arm and a leg but if your goal is to add strength and build monster arms they are a great buy! Im a strength coach and they are being used more and more in my field due to the fact that they build better practical strength and they also are super easy on wrists while benching....you get a forearm workout just from gripping the while benching its pretty cool!
