IronMind Captains of Crush (COC) Hand Gripper - The Gold Standard of Grippers | The World's Leading Hand Strengthener

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.

Great product well worth it

They are an amazing grip strength tool, harder than you think if you have only been used your dad's grippers,! Many of my friends and family have been humbled by the captain's of crush #2 gripper, me included!! Just about close it after two months hard training. If you're serious about grip, invest in one, or a couple of these!

Ordered from Vallhalla fitness. Had some shipping issues which they worked very hard to fix. Great company and I would use them again. Fantastic grippers. Generally regarded as the gold standard until you get up to the level of the absolute freaks closing big mash monsters. Even people who train with other brands use CoC as a benchmark to gauge progress. I started being able to close the #1 and #1.5 with both hands. So I’m waiting on a 2 to arrive as a goal gripper. If you lift weight already I’d start with the 1 and skip the lower resistances. There are cheaper brands available and you should use them to “fill the gaps” between Captains of Crush. I’d recommend getting these first

These are good , very well-made and durable. However, if you have average size hands they are quite wide. I would recommend heavy grips as they are bit narrower, With heavy grips the quality does vary but they are a lot cheaper than Ironmind. Better to have a mixture of both really. Get the ripper bands too for some extensor work to balance the crushing grip out.

Great piece of kit for someone looking to begin grip strength training. Might be difficult for beginners, anywhere from 1-3 reps is expected for the first month or so id say. Enjoy!

does the job

These are awesome I had full set of heavy grips thought I'd try Coc so got the 1 the 1.5 and the 2. Can't close the 2 can rep the 1 easy and find the 1.5 not much harder than the 1. Definitely not half way between the 1 and the 2 but great quality last a lifetime

It's the big daddy of all iron grippers. Expensive, but this is what the champs use. If you can afford it, go for it.

Great quality

Those grippers are well-built and high quality. The knurling is perfect, just add a bit of chalk in your hands and you're good to go! Oh, and add a bit of oil in the spring.

Je m'entraîne avec la pince CoC,dans le but de renforcer la prise de mes mains en pronation, et mes doigts,sur des barres olympiques, pour exécuter le soulever de terre,qui sera de plus en plus lourd.Et ainsi repousser l'utilisation des sangles de poignet.J'espère un de ces quatres, arrivé au moins à la pince CoC n°3.J'ai commandé le n°2.J'estime en avoir terminé avec le n°1,5 que j'arrive à maintenir fermé pendant environ 30 secs.J'ai commencé avec la n°1 au mois de juin,avec laquelle je m'entrainais en exécutant 2-3x10 répétitions de chaque main.
