oh. .and i also work out my wrist/grip .. i have this thing that u squeeze.. its pretty tough, i can only do like 30-40 of 'em (which is a lot compared to some of my friends that cant do a couple

if you're doing 30-40 of those hand squeezers then that means they're not doing anything, you should only be able to do a couple. buy new ones or you can finger curl a weight plate (i can tell you how to do it if you want to know how)

yeah what you do is get a heavy weight plate (25, 45, or whatever you want) and let it hang on your fingertips, and support it against your body (so it doesn't fall on the floor) then bring your fingertips up, closing your fist and raising the weight.

Get a flat board and nail something in the center. Use that to do push-ups, keeping the board level but not touching either end. Thats pretty hard.
And you can do reverse curls for your forearms.
