I have personally changed my entire life in many ways to make this happen. It's worth it to me. I'm not working with anything but average genetic gear. It's just been about 5 years of thinking about very little else. Countless hours with grippers, bleeding hands, pain, injury, recovery, more planning... And there are STILL things I'm not doing that would likely have me making my goals sooner. CoC Grippers are also fun to bring to the office to see who can close them. You may be surprised how few guys can close the Captains-of-Crush #1 on the first try. Finally, they make for a unique and cool gift. I bought 10 of them as gifts last year.

Maybe if you were 5-foot nothing with a 7.5" hand you would eventually certify in the #3 if you wanted it bad enough. And trained. Trainining mixed with WANTING is a powerful, powerful thing.

So they’ll end up sitting on your desk, and occasionally you’ll do a bunch of light weight reps j ust for the hell of it. Also, I should mention here that unlike conventional hand grippers, Captains of Crush have 11 different levels to choose from.In 1991, IronMind created a certification program to recognize people who closed the Captains of Crush No. 3 Gripper under official conditions. This certification has become the universal benchmark of world-class grip strength. [29] The extensors are never going to be as strong as the flexors, but if you triple your hand and wrist strength, while leaving the extensors as weak as they were to start, you are asking for trouble. Don’t forget that all your chinning, deadlifting, rowing and even curling will hammer your grip, but not those little extensors, which are neglected in most programs. If you use a grip that irritates your joints, you are never going to prosper until you adjust your exercises to suit YOU, not what somebody else thinks is about perfect. If making progress on Captains of Crush Grippers is your main goal, training on them and doing related work on your crushing grip should be your top priority.
