Captains of Crush IronMind Hand Grippers

Product Information

Captains of Crush (CoC®) grippers changed the gripper world, taking what had been a cheap, imported plaything and turning it into a beautifully designed and crafted training tool for serious strength athletes. You can easily tell a CoC gripper apart from other similar training tools, thanks to the visually-pleasing spring that connects the handles — yet don't be fooled by this feature's good looks.

The extensors are never going to be as strong as the flexors, but if you triple your hand and wrist strength, while leaving the extensors as weak as they were to start, you are asking for trouble. Your friend’s gripper may have been derived from a different testing system—or it might simply have a convenient number attached to it, without its really being tied to any specific test or measure. Keep in mind the priority principle: do your most important training first and let everything else follow.

If making progress on Captains of Crush Grippers is your main goal, training on them and doing related work on your crushing grip should be your top priority.

3 Grippers, 1 Goal - IronMind

The act of getting the hand closed under resistance, which passive gripping doesn't provide, is often overlooked. We included Richard’s photo and feat of strength in our 1992 IronMind catalog, and when John Brookfield duplicated Richard’s feat in 1992, our gripper certification was off and running . IronMind does have lighter models — the 60-pound Guide and 80-pound Sport — but the labeling alone doesn't necessarily lend itself to who these resistances are for. Plus, the challenging weights at the higher end of the spectrum can serve as great goals to one day accomplish — IronMind even has a certification process to put your feats in the brand's official book of records.I do full body workouts for about 20 to 30 minutes on most days, strength training too, and in some days I swim. I find my grip is a good 10% stronger after a lifting session when my hands and body are nice and warm. IronMind developed an approximate poundage-rating system for its grippers in 1993, outlined in Captains of Crush Grippers: What They Are and How to Close Them, that provided a quick way to define the relative difficulty of closing one model of CoC Gripper compared to another.

I'm not really wanting answers just wanting to have your input on the number of reps required to go to the next level, how many did it take you to move up and more importantly do the calculators approximations of 6 reps ring true for you?Later they introduced two new models in 2004 that were easier to close than the Trainer: the Guide and the Sport. Normal values for handgrip strength in 920 men and women aged over 65 years, and longitudinal changes over 4 years in 620 survivors. Also, I should mention here that unlike conventional hand grippers, Captains of Crush have 11 different levels to choose from. Nearly every measure of performance is affected by your ability to lock on, hold on, and maintain your strength, and CoC’s offer a time efficient, customizable method for getting in the reps, seconds, kilos, and speed that translate into superior grip strength. We also recommend that you regularly train your extensors, the muscles that open your hand, with Expand-Your-Hand-Bands to offset all the squeezing you are doing on the grippers.
