The question is: where to start. I chose to start with the Sport gripper. I'm just about to turn 70, but I work out at the YMCA 3X per week, mainly using the weight machines, and of late I've been doing "dead hangs" around 30-40 seconds. I would say I'm reasonably fit for my age. The Sport was the perfect place for me to start. I can do a couple sets of 10 reps closing it all the way except for the last couple reps. IMHO, one needs to be careful and not overdo it, because it is easy to injure yourself. If you're having trouble closing it, don't force it, take a step down to a gripper you can close for reps. Give yourself a day or two to recover, then repeat. Slow and steady progression is the key. I think I'll be to the point where i want to start to try the Trainer gripper in a couple months. Hopefully working with these grippers to develop strength will work in synergy with the dead hang to develop endurance. Review: It is what it is and does what it does - There's not a lot to say about this product except that it does what it's meant to do very well. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles. You just squeeze it until you feel the burn, and then you keep squeezing it until you can't anymore. I will say that, when looking into this before buying it, I did find some people online who talked about how you're actually supposed to position it in your hand when you use it. Just picking it up and squeezing isn't necessarily the most efficient way to use it. So, bear that in mind. The knurling (the texture on the handles) can feel a bit rough if you have sensitive skin like I do, but it's probably helpful in toughing up one's palms. Really, though, it's a simple product that does what it's supposed to do. What else could you want? ## Features - Premium Grip Training Tool: The gold standard of grippers, this is the single best tool for increasing grip/hand strength - Top-Quality Construction: Features proprietary spring technology with knurled aircraft grade billet aluminum handles - Legendary Build Quality: Durable, precise and gorgeous - Progressive Resistance Levels: Available in 11 different strengths, providing a custom fit from rank beginner to World's Strongest Man - American Craftsmanship: Made in the USA by IronMind, the trusted leader in grip strength equipment since 1988 - Versatile Training Applications: Suitable for grip strength specialists, competitive athletes, fitness enthusiasts, rock climbers, martial artists, special forces, hand gun shooters and anyone looking to improve hand and grip strength - Professional Grade Equipment: Transforms grip training from basic exercise into serious strength development with precision-engineered, progressive resistance - backed by the top training support and customer service in the industry ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00938HS0A | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,165 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #12 in Strength Training Grip Strengtheners | | Brand | IronMind | | Brand Name | IronMind | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,378 Reviews | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8.43"L x 5.47"W | | Item Highlight | The Gold Standard of Grippers, Made in the USA | | Item Shape | 1402-I_SML | | Item Weight | 0.21 kg | | Manufacturer | IronMind | | Material | Aluminum | | Model Number | 1402-I | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 1402-I_SML | | Style | Ergonomic | | Tension Level | 80 lb | | Tension Supported | 80 lb | | UPC | 792382309474 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** IronMind - **Color:** Silver - **Item Weight:** 0.21 kg - **Material:** Aluminum - **Style:** Ergonomic ## Images ![IronMind Captains of Crush Gripper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xasbyrrSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## 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! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A high quality grip trainer, which one to start with? *by T***N on August 26, 2025* These are the grip trainers to buy.

What else could you want? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly well made for today's world of junk *by L***R on September 24, 2022* Very well made. I will post another review after I determine how durable the grips are. I suspect they will last a very long time. Choosing a starting poundage was the problem. I'm about 150 lbs., and a senior. I perform calisthenics every day but no weights. I purchased the 100 lb. "Trainer" first and that was a little too difficult. I could close it but with what I thought was too much strain. I went for the 80 lb. "Sport" and that is just right: not too hard and not too easy. I can can close them, so the hand movement is complete, and I think that is important. I did about 3 sets of 10 reps, today, probably more, and felt enough strain to make it worth doing. Even if it only takes a short time to move up to the Trainer, I think it's better for the body to work slowly into the next level of exercise. I would recommend using CofC grippers. Let's see how they last. The knurled handle is not as bad on the hands as some reviewers said. If you're moving the gripper around in your hand, I can see the problem occurring; but that sounds like bad technique. ## Frequently Bought Together - IronMind Captains of Crush (COC) Hand Gripper - The Gold Standard of Grippers | The World's Leading Hand Strengthener - IronMind Expand-Your-Hand Bands 10 Pack: Kiss Elbow Pains Goodbye - Prevent, Rehab, Reduce Pain from Tennis Elbow, Carpal Tunnel.
