Review: The Gold Standard of Hand Grippers - I’ve been using these for a few years now, and they’re as good as it gets. The quality is outstanding, and they’re well worth the price. I started with the Sport level and now have the No. 1 and No. 2 as well, and each one offers a strong, reliable challenge. They’ve helped me significantly improve my grip strength at the gym and have even alleviated my RSI. No other grippers I’ve tried compare in terms of quality and durability. Highly recommend.
Review: Perserverance Necessary - Warning. These grippers are extremely tough. In retrospect I should have started with the No. 1s. I bit off just slightly more than I could chew. I can curl over 30kg (single arm), and so I thought I'd be able to skip a step. Wrong! However after two weeks I am just about acheiving a close! The quality of the grippers is first rate. They are finely milled, knurled, and crafted from rugged materials. This is an excellent product and it is plain to see that once you are able to complete your sets with this you will have a powerful grip. Thoroughly recommended. See the ironmind website for training tips.

## 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Gripper.
*by R***D on 14 February 2015*

Bought the CoC Sport hand gripper, as a high repetition / warm up tool. Excellent quality, with enough tension to challenge most people not used to grip / weight training. The great thing about the CoC range, is that you can progress quickly, once you have improved your grip strength on a particular gripper, there is always the next gripper in the range, should you wish to progress. Not cheap, but whether you just want to improve your hand grip strength a little, or you wish to build massive grip strength, for powerlifting or strongman, I highly recommend the Captain's of Crush hand gripper range.
