I suffered a permanent ligament injury in my thumb about 10 years ago, which caused me to switch to "suicide" grips. This has greatly increased my grip strength. I do all push and pull exercises with this grip.

I was still wrestling / training BJJ when this injury happened, and I noticed that my grip, on a Gi specifically, got wayyyyy better after forcing myself to switch to suicide grip. My fingers feel strong (although a bit less dexterous than they were 10-15 years ago).

I don't do many supplementary exercises outside of stretching and cardio. As I get older, I see a bit more value in the highly focused exercises like grip, stability, etc.. But I'm not quite there yet. For now, I just load up the bar and yeet it around xD
