I am looking to increase my grip, as my grip fails at 225 on deadlifts? Shoukd I start with trainer or #1?

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!

Does ordering from Ironmind on Amazon include the coc setting card?

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

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?

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.

Best no to start with

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!

The Best Grip Developer

Great Product - simply the best Grip Developer. Many of the grip developers on the market are low resistance and flimsy. If you are a hardcore lifter then this is the product for you.

One Gripper Only

This item is titled misleadingly - it is not Grippers, it is a gripper. I definitely wouldn't have bought just one at this price. That's some dishonest sneakers from the makers. The product is fine. Definitely not worth this price. With that considered - I'd avoid.

Sólido,duro

Son originales sin duda, el material de primera calidad, resistente, el agarre muy bien con el moleteado no se te resbala, bastante dificil de cerrar, pero vale la pena el intento, sin duda aumentará tu fuerza en el brazo.

Tanto si inicias como si llevas tiempo, es el mejor gripper con diferencia, más caro, pero tengo uno que compre hace 20 años y aún se mantiene increíble
