assorted wrist & hand exercises on the cheap

I thought I'd post some stuff I've done in the past when I had no equipment and still do at times. Cheap stuff if you're on a budget.

1. Wrist exercises with a plastic chair, elbow against the wall to help make it more strict. Good warm-up/cool down from heavier wrist work.
2. Pinching my favorite rock (weighs about 20#), nice wide pinch and changing hand position for variety.
3. Reverse wrist curls/wrist curls using a 3" plastic PVC coupling with an eye bolt. I don't own a barbell or dumbbell so I make do with this. The eye bolt moves the weight out a little to make it harder when the wrist is straight.

very clever use of items 'commonly found around the home.' The chair exercises especially impressed me...you get all the motions and the rock looked like a good thing too. I have recently begun specializing on wrist/forarm exercises and your's are ingenious.

Thanks, but I'm still far from what I consider "strong" wrists. It's a long slow process.

You must have a hard hand grip.

Only compared to the average Joe. There are many much stronger than I am.

i recently started a hand grip exercise that i am very happy with , i take a blanket roll it up and squeeze it as hard as possible then pull with my forearms as if i am ripping something apart . 2 min and your forearms will begin to burn
