Captains of Crush IronMind Hand Grippers

Product Information

You can start with one CoC gripper, especially if you’re on a budget.Be sure to warm up with a lighter gripper or by squeezing a rubberball or an IronMind EGG.

Remember that the low-intensity–high-volume traditional approach to training with grippers—doing endless easy reps—will do little to improve your grip and a lot to shorten the life of your gripper. Even though you don’t have to change your clothes or go to the gym to train with your hand gripper, we recommend that you take your training as seriously as if you were working on a big power clean, for example, so this is not something to do while you’re driving, sitting at your desk, or watching TV. Otherwise, given how damn hard these things are, you aren’t likely to progress beyond the easier levels – defeating the purpose of the entire exercise! 2 Months Into My Grip Training An open-hand grip involves passively holding an object that's so large the fingers and thumb can't overlap. Fat Gripz and fat bars are examples of open-hand held implements.

IronMind will certify your accomplishment if you close a No. 3.5 under official conditions.Guide: Similar in difficulty to a sporting goods store gripper, but with legendary Captains of Crush quality. The Guide (60 lbs) Lowest resistance gripper, yet still ~twice the resistance of a standard sporting goods gripper. Just about anyone can close these for reps.

We particularly like how these are marked clearly on the bottom so you can tell the resistance right away. The old-school inspiration is most apparent in the handle design with knurling akin to that of a barbell so you can build up some tough skin and not worry about these slipping out of your hand. Specs All of the products on this list are meant to improve grip strength, but they’re all very different. Just as with all strength pursuits, there are many different ways to accomplish the goal, and you have to find out what works best for you. There are some important things to consider before buying a grip strengthener. You should identify your goals, and know why you want to build your grip in the first place. Along with that, the way you build your grip will be determined by your goals. Do you have the handshake of a jellyfish? Do you wish you had added grip strength for your job, hobby or favourite outdoor activity?Holding a crushing-grip where gravity is forcing the hand to open, such as you'd experience in holding a heavy dumbbell or barbell. This implement (dumbbell, barbell, or kettlebell) provides resistance by way of gravity. Active Crushing
