## Description

Product description If you don’t have any grip training equipment, chances are your hand strength is less than it should be, and if your grip training equipment looks like a toy that could have come in a box of cereal, the same thing is true. Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers changed the world by taking what had been a cheap, imported plaything and turning it into a beautifully crafted training tool for serious strength athletes. Made in the USA and known worldwide, nothing else puts power in the palm of your hand like a Captains of Crush gripper. Guide - c. 60 lb. / 27 kg (Novice, rehab) Sport - c. 80 lb. / 36 kg (Warm-up, conditioning) Trainer - c. 100 lb. / 45 kg (Strong guys start here) Point Five - c. 120 lb. / 54 kg (Bridge to No. 1) No. 1 - c. 140 lb. / 64 kg (Already gripping, start here) No. 1.5 - c. 167.5 lb. / 76 kg (Bridge to No. 2) No. 2 - c. 195 lb. / 89 kg (Life-saving levels of grip strength) No. 2.5 - c. 237.5 lb. / 108 kg (Bridge to No. 3) No. 3 - c. 280 lb. / 127 kg (World-class: get certified) No. 3.5 - c. 322.5 lb. / 146 kg (Bridge to No. 4) No. 4 - c. 365 lb. / 166 kg (Be like Magnus Samuelsson!) Why Captains of Crush Grippers? Training Tools not Toys So, if you’re serious about having stronger hands—whether you are a senior citizen or a SEAL—pick the best tools you can get your hands on, starting with Captains of Crush grippers. This is the gripper that changed the world, replacing plastic playthings with something suitable for serious strength athletes, IronMind’s focus since 1988. Custom Fit for Your Needs The world’s leading hand strengthener, IronMind’s Captains of Crush grippers come in 11 strengths , allowing for progressive training, from rank beginner to someone who can literally crush a raw potato in his bare hands. Top Quality and Affordable With legendary build quality and proprietary features, Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers are in a class by themselves, and while you might not have the budget for a world-class car or truck, CoC grippers are affordable so you can get a top-drawer training tool, instead of a piece of mass-produced junk. First Family of Grip Strength Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers are part of the CoC Compatible (CoC²) of hand strengthening and hand health products developed by IronMind, the industry leader, Grip Central since 1988. Where to Start If you are a beginner, a senior or a rehab patient , the Guide might be perfect for you. If you are active , but have not been training your grip and your job does not involve hand strength, then the Sport is the most likely place to start. If you have been doing serious overall strength training , but have not specifically trained your grip, start with the Trainer. If you use the strength of your hands in your job or if you have been training with sporting-goods-store-type hand grippers, start with the No. 1. Just to keep this in perspective, most people who lift weights cannot close a Captains of Crush No. 1 gripper the first time they try and only rarely do we ever see someone close a Captains of Crush No. 2 gripper on his first attempt. Grip Training for Baseball Whether hitting, pitching or throwing, increased wrist and grip strength are key to playing better baseball. Hitting: Gain control, boost bat speed, and add the horsepower you need to hit those long balls Pitching and throwing: to increase velocity, accuracy, stamina and protection from injuries, make a balanced grip training program a regular part of your workout Grip Training for Golfers A strong grip is essential to golf. Pros tend to have greater maximum grip strength than amateurs and—somewhat paradoxically—stronger hands allow you to have a more relaxed grip while maintaining head control and consistent body mechanics. Grip Training for Shooters Your thumb is important in shooting, but when it comes to controlling a handgun, it’s secondary to your other four fingers, so your focus is on what’s called crushing grip (think shaking hands and squeezing). Captains of Crush grippers are your first choice for increasing your crushing grip and they will be the cornerstone of your training. Grip Training for OCR and Climbers Hand strength is key for obstacle course racers (OCR) and climbers, and most of the grip-related challenges you will face will depend upon the strength and endurance of your crushing grip. Captains of Crush grippers are the fastest route to a stronger crushing grip. CoC Silver Bullet Captains of Crush Grippers: What They Are and How to Close Them Captains of Crush Grippers inspire passion, and this is the book that traces their history, outlines gripper basics, and gives you training information that is proven to work. Joe Kinney calls it the CoC owner's guide, all you need to get strong and smart on CoC grippers. Gripper basics History of the CoC Grippers Training advice for building superior grip strength CoC Training and Competition IronMind developed the Captains of Crush (CoC) Silver Bullet Hold as both a training tool and as an event for grip strength contests: visually appealing and intuitively obvious, the CoC Silver Bullet Hold has been featured in grip contests from California to Russia, with stops in Finland, England, Ukraine... Whether you think your hand is too big, too small or just right for a gripper, the Silver Bullet is perfect. Hold on as long as you can. Train hard Compete harder

Review: Crush your opposition! - Reviewed after three weeks use. They accidentally sent me the #.5 120lb grippers instead of the Trainer (it was packaged right as the .5, but the SKU sticker was for the Trainer). I figured what the heck, 20 more lbs would probably be a good place to start anyway (and I was really excited to get started training). Shoot dang, these are some TOUGH grippers. Firstly, just to echo what other reviews say, these are well-built, durable grippers - the finest I've ever owned. If you're combing reviews for competing products, there just isn't much out there that compares. Secondly, there is a serious difference between the repetition training that your sport shop grippers offer and the intense high-resistance training you can get from these grippers. I've seen a bigger difference in three weeks of these grippers (with focused effort) than months of reps (mostly while watching tv) with the others. If you're looking for more than muscle maintenance, and serious about being able to effortlessly open that jar of pickles when your girl is there watching, low-rep high-intensity is the way to build grip strength. I still can't close the 120lb beast, but I'm a lot closer, and am already getting some noticeable forearm definition. If I might offer a few suggestions to get the most from these grippers: - Gripper training is an isolation workout, meaning you're targeting just one specific motion/muscle set. In this case you are targeting your crush grip strength. For well-balanced strength, you should also train your pinch and support grips. Read up on how to do all three in balance. It will amaze you how much they work together, and you'll see much faster gains than just periodically working the gripper (think especially about how your pinkie and ring finger will help so much more if they have some pinch strength to them). Ironminds also offers all kinds of elastic bands and pinch springs to complete a workout. I personally have a medium tension Gripmaster from prohands and feel that starting exercises with that works out a lot of finger and joint kinks before getting down to business with the gripper. If you're cracking every joint with the first crush, you're not warmed up. - You'll want some focus, these aren't the carry-in-your-car type of grippers. Not that they couldn't be used that way, but taking time to properly set the grippers and using focus strength will get you a better workout. I usually do my gripmaster warmup on the drive home, and then do my reps when I walk in the door. I feel this optimizes the workout routine, and gets more bang for less time. - Do more than just the standard close routine. If you look at the IronMinds instruction booklet (doesn't come in the package, but you can get a free one from the IronMinds store), you can find an array of different workouts that you can do with one set of grippers. I usually do a few reps spring up, spring down, and then burn out with some negatives (starting with a closed grip) for a full workout. It takes a little while longer, but it really gets ALL the arm muscles burning, and really pays off. I'm still working hard at trying to close the #.5, and am already making plans to start stepping up. I might also get the Sport just for warmups, the #.5 is too much to warm up on. I would recommend these grippers, and look forward to having that quiet strength grip. If you meet me there, I'd be glad to shake your hand!
Review: These do their job: strengthen your grip! Great for developing false grip strength! - How do I know they do their job? I bought the trainer first and could barely close it, and two weeks later I crushed the #1 which is a lot harder. Buy these. I now have 4 and I didn't have to wait thanks to desertcart prime! Why I just now heard about these and the importance of grip strength after recently turning 30, I'll never know. Are these some kind of secret kept between the most elite athletes? I bumped into them while doing some research for developing false grip strength for muscle ups on the rings. At 6'1" 200 lbs, I consider a muscle up a nice feat of strength for me. I can do pull ups and dips no problem, and the transition isn't even a problem, but the first time I tried a false grip, I couldn't even support my weight. After a couple months of progressions doing rows, I can finally hold enough weight to jump into a muscle up, but strength for the false grip is still my limiting factor keeping me from doing it properly. I read about these and decided to start with a trainer. I was torn between starting with the trainer and the #1, but after reading some reviews I went with the trainer. I'm glad I did. I can pump 10 out with my right hand no problem, but 5 is pretty much the limit with my left. My right hand is considerably stronger than my left, so I do whatever I can with my left hand and repeat it with my right so the left can catch up somewhat. Even if you can start with a #1, I would recommend the trainer for warm ups. These are the most solid, effective, quality pieces of grip training equipment on the market, and I am very happy with my results so far. I intend to add an update when I progress to the #1. After my first workout using the trainer, I was unable to close it with my left hand two days later, and I could barely close it with my right hand. I could tell I over did it, and no warm up reps took a toll. I liked the trainer so much I ordered the guide and sport. When I received them, I proceeded to to warm up and I pumped out 10 reps with the trainer in both my left and right hand no problem! I immediately ordered the #1. Every time I can do 10 reps with both hands I'm ordering the next level. I got the #1 yesterday and squeezed it once with both hands for two sets, then I couldn't close it with either hand for the rest of the day. I can't put these things down, but I don't want inflammation or injury so I'm trying to do it every other day. How I could barely close the trainer one week, and then close the #1 the next, I have no idea, but I definitely recommend warming up with the easier CoCs first. I actually feel stronger after warming up, and it reduces chances of injury. I can't believe I just spent over $100 on these in a two week period, but I do think they are worth every penny if you want to strengthen your grip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The reviews are right, the Gold Standard
*by M***W on September 7, 2025*

Forget every cheap, plastic-handled gripper you've ever squeezed before. The Captains of Crush is on a completely different level, and you feel it the moment you pick it up, it's a serious piece of training equipment. The build quality is incredible. The knurled, aluminum handles feel substantial and provide a fantastic, non-slip grip, the spring mechanism is perfectly smooth and brutally consistent. There's no creaking, flexing, or anything that feels cheap. I started with the Trainer (100 lbs), and it was a humbling experience that immediately exposed the weakness in my grip. Unlike generic grippers with vague resistance levels, the CoC accurately rated and consistent, which means you can track real, measurable progress as you work your way up the levels. If you're serious about building a powerful, functional grip, this is the one tool to incorporate in your workout. It's a "buy it for life" product that truly lives up to its reputation as the gold standard.
