The Ninjutsu and Eagle Claw styles did a lot of training holding jugs with their finger tips to the sides of their bodies. Smaller logs work well too. I agree with KenpoTex on that one, it's very underrated and honestly not often trained well.

Another training method involves bamboo chop sticks tied tightly together. I'd say a little over an inch altogether. Then you place it between your palms and roll it between them in a prayer position. Do it often throughout the day. Supposedly after two years of that you switch to metal ones... I haven't gotten that far.

Remember to BREATHE!
