Review: Challenging grip work, seems sturdy - My mate got these. He can do the all three although the last one is challenging for him so it is worth it for him as he got them to improve his grip strength.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am looking to increase my grip, as my grip fails at 225 on deadlifts?  Shoukd I start with trainer or #1?**
A: Dear Darren:We recommend that you start with the Captains of Crush Trainer. When you can close it for 10-12 full, legitimate reps, you can start to work on the Captains of Crush No. 1 as well.  Thank you for your interest in IronMind equipment and best of luck with your training!

**Q: Does ordering from Ironmind on Amazon include the coc setting card?**
A: Dear Sir/Madam:

Many thanks for your inquiry.  The Captains of Crush ID card is not included with Amazon CoC gripper purchases.  If you would like an ID card after purchasing a CoC gripper on Amazon, kindly send us an e-mail with your mailing address and a copy of your Amazon order and we will be happy to provide a complimentary CoC ID card.

Thank you again; we appreciate your interest in IronMind equipment!

Sincerely,

Judy Mariuz

**Q: I have Walmart medium strength grippers. I do them ok  I want to move up but not so much that I can't do themWhat Strength COC gripper would suit me?**
A: I have those walmart ones and they are easy. If you can do a set of 12 it is time to order the CoC "Guide". I would say they are a little tougher than the walmart ones. I read the walmart ones are 50lb and the CoC Guide is 60lbs so that seems right. Great quality. Or get to where you can do 3 sets of 20 with what you have and get the 80's.

**Q: Best no to start with**
A: For an adult, normally if a person is ready for serious grip strength training but has not specifically trained with even a plastic-handled sporting goods store hand gripper or done any crushing work, we recommend that they start with the No. 1250 Captains of Crush Trainer gripper, or a No. 1402 CoC Sport gripper. If you have been working with sporting goods store grippers and have worked up into high reps, or if you use your hands daily in a stressful physical task, like construction work, then we recommend starting with the No. 1251 Captains of Crush No. 1 gripper.  Please let us know if you have any further questions!

High quality. Long lasting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A high quality grip trainer, which one to start with?
*by T***N on August 26, 2025*

These are the grip trainers to buy. The question is: where to start. I chose to start with the Sport gripper. I'm just about to turn 70, but I work out at the YMCA 3X per week, mainly using the weight machines, and of late I've been doing "dead hangs" around 30-40 seconds. I would say I'm reasonably fit for my age. The Sport was the perfect place for me to start. I can do a couple sets of 10 reps closing it all the way except for the last couple reps. IMHO, one needs to be careful and not overdo it, because it is easy to injure yourself. If you're having trouble closing it, don't force it, take a step down to a gripper you can close for reps. Give yourself a day or two to recover, then repeat. Slow and steady progression is the key. I think I'll be to the point where i want to start to try the Trainer gripper in a couple months. Hopefully working with these grippers to develop strength will work in synergy with the dead hang to develop endurance.
