Yeah, hammer curls, reverse barbell curls and wrist curls of all types. Also, grip machines if you can find one these days.
I do hammer curls but I’m pretty sure they don’t do anything for grip strength.
Reverse barbell curls r my go-to.

Deadlifts work it all which is why they are so vital to training for everyone specially any athlete. They are also great for just overall health for individuals.
As a professional rigger, the deadlift is the closest movement to actually pulling a loaded, heavy rope and chain up to height.
Therefore my entire workout schedule is sort of organized around my deadlift and recovery from it.

Going to take the otherside to this one

Deadlifts did make my arms bigger, my shoulders denser, and wrecks my hamstrings. It also adds bulk to my midframe, ruins my V taper. Don't want swole love handles and I can make my arms bigger, shoulders denser etc. with plenty of other movements
