A dumb little trick I found out while I was at work. Taking a squirtbottle and just consecutively spraying water is a serious work out for your picking hand if you use the traditional 2 finger style. It really digs into the core of your hand and your forearm, and its much more efficient than just doing sprints on bass with your fingers.
I've already noticed a real improvement in speed and stamina. If you have a spare spraybottle just fill it with water and start spraying til you feel it, sort of like doing curls with your fingers. I haven't strained myself with it yet, or cramped up or got carpal tunnel yet so I think it's pretty safe to do. Obviously don't push yourself and you still have to practice bass itself to sound articulate and minimize the strain.
Give it a shot and let me know if it works for you.
Maybe in the future they can make a little device that work in the same sort of way. Similar to those little grip things they sell to help build finger calluses, or maybe it already exists and I don't know.
