Just started out with some of the lighter CoC and have had pain around my mid knuckle on my left hand for about a week. Wish I had seen this video earlier. Probably trained too hard without rest days. Thank you for a great video
Duby - middle aged man who had wimpy hands. Based on this and other excellent videos there is a chance you will see me in an ironmind 3 closing video. The grippers are addictive.@@dubyagrip
Excellent information! Mr dubyagrip how old were you when you began serious grip training? And how many years have you been training for now? I'm just getting into serious gripper training and I learn so much from your channel 👌
@dubyagrip what did you do for work before you started? Just wondering if you did (or do) some sort of strenuous physical labor involving your hands. Also what grip rating did you start at?
Thank you for the video Bud. Very well explained. I love the inserts into the coils to increase tension. Has COC improved over the last 10 yrs. Just curious cuz 2 of mine snapped and I bought some heavy grips but not the same. Anyway we’ll done.
I think ironmind are at the top of their game with grippers these days. Certainly better than heavy grips and the other chinese spring brands. The highest quality grippers available are the standard grippers by cannon powerworks. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I just started grip training and i got some cheap ones. Now i have COC 1.5 and waiting for NO 2 to arrive for xmas. Thanks for all the great info very helpful:)
Thanks dubya, one of the best videos I've seen on grip training. One question about the choked gripper, are the holes basically drilled with a tapped bit? Threaded to allow easy removal? Cheers
I started grippers a few day ago as my first step in a training plan as I've had an office job for the last few years and end up skinny fat at 188cm/98kg. I had pretty major surgery on the ligaments and tendons of my left thumb a few years ago and never did the rehab properly. Turns out my left hand is a joke. I only have COC 1, 1.5 and 2. Managed to close the 1 and 1.5 first try with my right hand but the left couldn't close any of them. Left hand can only manage 100lb x 4 on a cheap gripper. Should I focus on bringing the left hand back first, or just keep going with both and hope they even out eventually?
@@dubyagrip thanks for the information I'm 71yr old stopped going to the gym a year ago and looking for easy training I can do at home I just can't seem to get motivated anymore
I learn something new every day, Dog leg straight leg. Question! If you had no grippers to use and wanted the greatest hand strength crushing gains what other options would you recommend? I'm trying to get on the GM150 100kg+ leaderboard for USA. Thank you!
Thick handles like axle barbells, inch dumbbells, little big horn, fbbc jugs, fat gripz, etc., Rotating implements are also good...Rolling thunder, country crush raptor, napalm nightmare, etc.,
Man, what a great video! I would have liked to hear more about filing Wish I found this video early, just bought 4 grip genies and the set of 5 iron mind. Should have got the standard Instead of grip genie
@@dubyagrip thanks for the response brotha! Regarding this videos scope, at what weight would you use a filed gripper in comparison to your goal gripper? Would you use a filed gripper for your warm ups leading up, or drop sets? Etc
@mikemosher4240 filed grippers increase the spread width and extend the range of motion required to close. They'll enhance your closing power and make non-filed grippers feel easier. For example, I used a filed 171 RGC gripper in my workouts when targeting 182 RGC for my 3.5 cert attempt. I train very low volume, so i wouldn't do more than 1 or 2 reps. This is a long winded way of saying you'll want your filed gripper to be a bit easier than your goal gripper.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with them, but the narrow handle spread is not as effective as the wider spreads found on Ironmind, Tetting, GHP, and Standard grippers. They also use the same spring has grip genie, powerball, and heavy grips, so you're paying for pretty handles is all.

Excellent information!
Mr dubyagrip how old were you when you began serious grip training? And how many years have you been training for now?
I'm just getting into serious gripper training and I learn so much from your channel 👌
36, I've only been doing dedicated grip train for about 7-8 months now.
@dubyagrip what did you do for work before you started? Just wondering if you did (or do) some sort of strenuous physical labor involving your hands. Also what grip rating did you start at?
Great video man!!

Like your channel
Thanks dubya, one of the best videos I've seen on grip training. One question about the choked gripper, are the holes basically drilled with a tapped bit? Threaded to allow easy removal? Cheers
Yes, I remove and reattach them all the time.
Good to know, thanks for the quick response @@dubyagrip

There's no reason to neglect either hand. Train them both! Great question!! I wish you well in your training and other fitness goals.
Any good
I can only use the adjustable plastic grips because I have small hands
Try the grip genie brand, if you haven't already. They have smaller handles and narrower spreads.
@@dubyagrip thanks for the information I'm 71yr old stopped going to the gym a year ago and looking for easy training I can do at home I just can't seem to get motivated anymore
@Alex Blue I think gripsport could be great for you. Best of luck and thanks for checking out my videos.

Man, what a great video!

What would you like to know about filing? Thanks for watching!

@@dubyagripAwesome, thank you!
What’s wrong with gripzilla
There's nothing necessarily wrong with them, but the narrow handle spread is not as effective as the wider spreads found on Ironmind, Tetting, GHP, and Standard grippers. They also use the same spring has grip genie, powerball, and heavy grips, so you're paying for pretty handles is all.
@@dubyagrip sheesh ok I gotchu thanks
Have you ever heard of l o g e s t grippers
They are the same springs used in heavy grips, grip genie, gripzilla, powerball, and every other 50lbs increment gripper on the market.
@@dubyagrip Are there any good
@@deananderson2143 they will help you get stronger
Thanks for the rapid response
You dont do extensor work?
I do, it is part of my larger grip workout.
@@dubyagripThanks for the video. Got a lot out of it.
