Homemade Ball Grip Pull Ups
Homemade Ball Grip Pull Ups
Great idea from synergy-athletics.com These grips are homemade with a couple bolts, nuts, and softballs. Ball grip pull ups taxes the grip to a greater extent. Usually used for 1-2 sets of pull ups, and other grips that will allow more reps for the other 2-3 sets.
If you want to up your overall body power and get serious results check out the ever popular and fantastic resource for strength athletes that is the Bull Strength Manual www.bullstrength.com
This one is a no brainer! Drill a hole though a hard ball, pop a bolt with an eye through it, attach a nut and attach the other end to a chain or rope and fix onto your pull up bar.
Alternatively, just make a shorter version and attach weights for training the grip

How To Make A Wrist Roller
DIY Grips Strength Gear
How To Make A Wrist Roller
Great video from RAWIRONMAN for making wrist rollers for increasing hand and grip strength
An authentic wrist roller can cost you anywhere from 20 to 30 US dollars. And it's really little more than a rod with a rope on it. I'm going to show you how to make one here for free, improvising with nothing more than old junk that you probably have sitting in your garage or basement right now.
Note: If you should decide to make anything (including any variations thereof) that I ever post a how-to video of on YouTube, I take no responsability for any injuries that might occur as a result. Use good sense when making any do-it-yourself items and always be careful when using them as well.

Sandbag Strength Training
Sandbag Strength Training - Atlas Stone Bag
Here is a fantastic way to make an atlas stone/very heavy solid sandbag for loading and lifting exercises.
Due to the relative cheapness of this method it would be possible to make several as once made the weight is permanent.
Cost - around 10-12 GBP or 20 USD
Materials required:
Desired weight in bought sandbags (I used 4x25kg bags), note the bags can be split and tied in smaller sizes.
1 x Cheap sheet of tarpaulin and one roll of heavy duty gaffer tape.
Simply lay the bags directly on top of each other on the tarpaulin and fold over and tape very tightly not allowing the bags to move. Once tight and secure roll the bags over and tape around until the whole weight is covered.
