If time is a constraint you can use all 4 fingers plus thumb. I can thumb/pinky static grip a 10lb plate for a minute or so.. Squeeze the weight as hard as you can for the duration of the lift.. The link I listed can be helpful to you too.. Plus there is youtube & gripboard.com
You will also notice better gains when doing heavy shrugs, pull ups, & other back exercises.. Hand strength develops rather quickly..
