[QUOTE=PaulAimonon]That's what I've been working on lately too. And finger speed. And cleaning up my slapping.[/QUOTE]
Haha, me too. :lol:
[QUOTE=irishslappop]what kind are they, where did you get them?[/QUOTE]
Well I sometimes to Coffee's metronome excersize, but right now I am trying to build up my right hand and arm, and slapping works your whole arm out fairly well, so I set the metronome to a good speed where I can play fir at least 30 seconds without my hand cramping up (usually about 140-150) and play this:

-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x---
--x-----x-----x-----x-----x------
----x-x---x-x---x-x---x-x---x-x--
-x-x---x-x---x-x---x-x---x-x-----

Slap the first note of each triplet on the beat. That cleans up your slapping, speeds up your slapping, and should buld up your arm and wrist and shoulder.

I also just tap scales with my left hand on my high action fretless, also with a metronome. That should stengthen them and give them more mobility.

So what excersizes do you guys do, have you made any of your own?

If so, Id like to see them. I could use some more good excersizes

I've been going through one on a Jaco video that Quatre was kind enough to teach me. You play through all modes of a scale, doing the I forwards, II backwards....etcetc.

basicaly you play the \/ up the minor third and so on
1-3-5-7-8-6-4-2-3-5-7-9-3-8-6-11-5-7-9-11-5-3-8-6....
