Go karting!

Not into the strenght exercises but not rich enough for real racing?
Go karting often ( in high speed proper courses with proper karts ) can be a real grip strenght exercise!
Coming from a gokart instructor for a year, daily runs not only make me stronger, but the hands themselves
become more masucline and grippy. For hard mode go without gloves, eventually the skin will get used to the stress and simply becomes stronger, profit!

peak powers were 1500hp in quali trim

Steering strenght

Understandably racing is hard to train for as most muscles used in turning the wheel and such are
small and need proper twist to do it, so best way to train is to drive/race a car. When simracing then
a high forcefeedback strenght on a twitchy car can be quite a workout, bonus points for not breaking the wheel, and actually controlling the movements not just bashing the wheel around uses different muscles aswell so think about that.
If noone is looking you can take 2 dumbells and hold them in both hands like you were holding a wheel and then just do all kinds of movements you would expect to do while driving. Note that different core muscles work then seated and standing up

Day 1 9/10/2011

along with sitting in the computer all day
40 reps of 4kg as usual
15 pushups x4 spred across the day, some situps with same 4kg dumbell for core
