Do you suffer from a weak grip?
You can strengthen it with plate carries.
Take a pair of weight plates and carry one in each hand walking back and forth over a good distance, until you can't carry it any further.
We used 45# bumper plates the other day. The width of the bumper plate was perfect for these.
My coach said you could use two 10# plates in each hand, placing the smooth sides out, and carry them in your fingers for a more challenging workout.
We did several sets of the 45# bumper plate carries. I started out carrying for 150' and stopped when I couldn't hold the weights for longer than 50'.
