Captain of Crush Grippers?

[coolcolj]

I am thinking of getting some - maybe 1 and 2. I won't bother with the trainer as my grip is used quite a bit at work and training.

IS the no.3 necessary? I mean if someone can clsoe no.2 10 times at least will they have enough functional grip for serious lifting?

Yeah, the trainers are pathetically easy. I don't know about number 3, but definitely get number 1 and 2. Don't worry about buying number 3 until after you get number 2 closed and feel whether or not you wanna move-up in grip strength.

There's no point in getting the ones that only 12 people have closed...although if you manage to be in that record, your forearms must be HUGE.

What are your goals CoolColJ?

 

[coolcolj]

actually I probbaly don't need these for my goals.

 

[coolcolj]

Just being able to hold onto heavy weights while deadlifting, cleaning, snatching, rows etc

 

[Zander1983]

Static holds and farmers walks would be better.

You could always go with the Ivanko super gripper. It gives you multiple levels of resistence.

Crushing strength is the wrong kind of grip strength for deadlifting and olympic lifts. Think about it you are basically 4 against 1, in other words you have the strength of 4 fingers against your thumb. If you plan on increasing holding strength then you must start with the weak link. If this interests anyone I can post more on the subject if not I'll save some typing
