Nine years is an eternity. And you're still here! I actually need to find a gripper for both myself (I lift), and my 93-year-old father. I'm just looking around online, at the moment.
Humam Slayer actually a decade, english isn't my first language so it's a bit difficult for me to understand, this is the only tutorial that I understood, thanks man!
Thanks for the video, Lee. My deadlifts have started to suffer from my gripstrength so I'm incorporating griptraining into my routine. I ordered Captain of Crush #1 and liftingchalk which probably will come tomorrow. Thanks to your video I now know that I can't approach a serious gripper like I've been handling the cheap ones.
Well explained the positioning of the gripper! I think setting it that high in the hand is easier with these HG grippers because their handles spread is narrower. When I do that on Captains of Cush, as my hand is average/small, it requires setting it by starting the close with the other hand, because not all my fingers can reach around the handle
Nice one mate just got a heavy gripper today and its a perfect fit for my hands I got 100 pounds and i can do 12 reps with my right and 8 with my left. thx :)
great video lee, ive been incorparating hhg training in my routine once a week and my tennis elbow has cleared up ..ormaj this type of training is only meant to b done once aweek and you musnt neglect your extensor muscles
Another great tool for forearm and grip training is the wrist roller. These are great because you can use a standard weight plate with it. I am only using 2.5 KG with mine at the moment and its a good challenge!
This was very helpful thank you! I just got a set of these in the mail to help with my grip and forearm development as they are my weak link in weight lifting.
Hello I bought the 100 first and was doing 20 reps each hand every hour at work and also after every work out. Im bought the 150 a week later and I'm doing 10 reps every hour now is this a ok work for these grippers! Man I love them puts the wood handle ones to shame!!!!
Just got the grippers today. Man, I didn't think they were coming, yet, I ordered online, and they are here already. Thursday. Thank You Lee! Now, to get busy. PEACE
I've tried a 200lb gripper and it was hard enough for me to only get a few reps with each hand. Never knew they went up to 350lbs, but I guess it is possible with your form.
I got my grippers today, was able to close the 200lbs 20 times and the 250 lbs 3 times. It will be exiting to see where Im at in 12 months of grip training. I do BJJ and this will help my game a lot. I prefer this product to the Captain of Crush because I dont have to "set" it before trying to close it.
I got into grippers in 94. Wrestling with my friend he noticed my grip was very strong. After that I got into basic grippers. Regular and inverted for 100's of reps. I would also squeeze a regular scale with both hands and press and hold. I had a power glove where I could train each individual finger adding free weight to a cable. After 6 month to a yr of hard training I stopped.
The grippers will make your hands look thicker over time but don't expect to end up with hands like Denis Cyplenkov. The area you'll see the biggest gains in is the under side of your forearm. Be sure to do hammer curls as well to build up the top side of your arm.
That will vary from person to person, there is not a set time frame for strength gains that are universal for everyone. But it might be possible to close the 300 within a year or two of consistent training.
Thank you for this video you hlpd me a lot. What type of programme do you recommend in order to get a strong fist and how many days a week Should i train with heavy grippers ?
You could probably search for some martial arts videos on how to toughen up the hands and fists. But as for gripper training, I'd recommend 3 times per week or every other day.
Lee- Obviously we all are at differenet points of strength when we start. As a beginner what poundage of heavy hands do you suggest I start with buying.....
I'm 18 and 165lbs, working on GHP Level 6 at the moment ( between #2.5 and #3 ) When I can close GHP 6 I will jump to #3, might even try to cert as well😃
I ordered all the hand grips a few years ago and was training with them religiously. I didnt receive a copy of a handgripper workout though, i wish i would have i definitely would of kept up with it if i knew what i was doing.
Lee Hayward I don’t remember where I bought them from, but I’m pretty sure it was from you because I was really into fitness and use to watch all your videos. That was like 5 years ago I believe haha
Start doing negatives, close the griper with both hands then slowly open it up with the desired hand, do 5-10 reps 3 times a week and within a week or two ull be able to one hand it
I have the Heavy Grips, I like them, but not enough grip and torque. As soon as I tried out the CoC I felt a immediate difference in torque, which is critical for grip strength.
I bought the 200 through the 300 and i can close the 200 3/4 of the way. If i keep doing this will i eventually beable to close the 200 all the way? Thank you
@leemhayward very proffesional video easy to follow and informative. ive been gripping for 3 years and am very close to doing the 2.5 COC. ive done the #2 numerous times. Its been slow progress. have u ever considered a media career lee, your a smooth talker. thats for sure
Hi Lee - thanks for another very informative video. Quick question: Do you feel as though you get more forearm work from having a bent elbow or a straight elbow? If anyone else would like to comment, I'd love some additional feedback. Thanks everyone.
im 14 and i have some hand grips with plastic handles i jus wanted to know that if i start using handgrips at age 14 would it stunt the growth in my hand?
@leemhayward Hey Lee would it be safe to train with grippers every day, if my hands don't hurt? If not, how many days should I wait in between workouts? Thanks.
I bought a gripper that I can almost close, but not quite. Do I need to buy a lighter one, or can I work my way up by thraining my grip with a barbell? I do the excercise where you let the barbell roll down your fingers, not sure what it's called.
Hey again. So this is a pretty big difference ? HG250 (250lb) = #2 200 (200lb), or HG300 = COC280 ? ;O So what grippers are closer to real weight (lb) ? Thatks again! And good luck with training =)
hey lee i just ordered my full set of heavy grippers, i wanna know whats a good rep range to stay at, if i wanna increase my grip on deadlift? would you suggest mid reps or very low reps?
I just bought a 30-40 (Adjustable gripper) I'm not aiming to go for heavy grippers.. But i want my grip and forearm to become stronger. How many times should i use it in a day?? How many sets?
Hey! Received my handgrip 200lb few days ago from amazon, like 5 days ago maybe. Very nice gripper. Good quality and Im satisfied =). Closed 200lb in the first day and now closing it 4 times with each hand. Too bad that I dont have a program fo training ;( The 250lb gripper I will buy from your online store. But is there any way to buy program separatley ? Thx! And good luck!
@leemhayward such a Great Information thanks so much !!! one question--> Im on 200 right now but only can close 2times so how long will take me to level 250 ? sorry 2nd question is how many times should i train per week ? sorry last question is how many sets should i do per training? feeling a bit annoyed because so many question? he he he Regard From Mongolia...
I recently bought a hand gripper which I can close easy enough, I can do about 25 closes, would I better doing the 25 reps or doing 10 reps whilst holding the gripper tight for 5 seconds in between each rep?
Great helpful video. I've been using the Ivanko super gripper 3 weeks and my grip is already improving a lot, but I have a problem. In my left hand especially, I have great pain in my index and middle knuckles during and after using the gripper, but not so much in my right. Is there any way of stopping this or advice you could give me? It would be REALLY annoying to have to stop training because Im just starting to get stronger!
Thx for your help guys! I changed the HG200 for the HG150 :P the HG200 was pretty strong for the beginning... you said that i should always have a easy one for a warm up,is it ok to close my HG150 50% as a warm up?...dont wanna spend the money for the HG100 only for warm up... thx!!!
I have a grip, but my hand is too small to actually do the hand gripping correctly, and I can't get a smaller one because of where I live, they aren't usual..Suggest giving it away or how am I supposed to work it?
I bought some cheap hand grips, my palms hurt when I squeeze them :/ is it the same with other hand grips? or is it supposed to be like that at first, especially with weak hands?
i can close the handles together so they are parallel to each other but i cant get them to touch yet. should i move on or should i wait until i can get the handles to touch?
Hi, I saw your pdf on the heavy grips hand grippers. 1 question. Can you elaborate on the "over crush"? I didn't quite understand it or see how it was any different to "heavy negatives". Thanks!
I got back into grippers last month. I ordered the HG 150 and can do 50 reps with my right hand and 40 with my left.. Very little rest..3-4 sets.. Reps vary, I included some forced reps... I already notice my grip strength after 2 weeks of training. I work in a warehouse. Moving furniture and tvs is easier know. I never rrealized how much strong forearms and hands can help so much. My goal is to crush a soda can till it explodes.. I think I'm over training though.
That would really help out with deadlifting, whenever I get down to my last set I'm struggling just to hold the bloody thing haha, then I end up changing my grip stance (just doesnt feel natural having a palm facing in and a palm facing out)... Hey lee, what are the reps and sets supposed to be looking like for a heavy handgrip workout?
Can you get certified for the CoC #4 since you can close the 350? I'm not sure how the certification works or are there more rules because I've seen more than five people on TH-cam close the #4 Grip.
Hey Lee, i play basketball. Will this help improve the amount of strength that shooting a basketball? And will i be able to grip the ball better, like holding it? Thx lee appreciate your help. Bought mine already..:)
@leemhayward Hey I just bought the HG200 and I heard that pound for pound Heavy grippers are easier then the CaptainsofCrush is that true? Oh and this is a bit off topic but I was wondering if you had any tips on recovering after workouts.
Lol my grip got tired already trying to practice the right way to grab my grippers i mean my forearms look fairly big but man do appearances lie my grip is weak! so yeah im considering to get me that

how many years to close the 350?it is ridiculously tight!!
jhmm gf three years man💪😎⚡️
Thanks for the video, Lee. My deadlifts have started to suffer from my gripstrength so I'm incorporating griptraining into my routine.

I've been doing this wrong for years; just tried your technique.. much more effective. thanks
Mr Hayward.
What you recommend for a complete beginner who has never worked out his/her hand?
Thank You.
Inderpal Singh.
Great video...I can't even close the 200lb ones, but I'm building strength.
Thanks coach, from England
how is it now? :D
Just got these. Whats the suggested workout? 10-8-6-8-10? How many reps? Let me know! I'm excited
Lee is a great teacher . You should listen to him. He can also close the LE HG400. Keep it up Lee!!.
dude can close the 350, thats pretty damn impressive.

i used to do grip workouts with the bathroom scale, works great in measuring progress
Wouldn't that be more pinching than crushing strength?
I accidentally bought a hand grip that is too heavy for me. Is that a huge problem?
It couldn't be explained better!Thumbs up coach!
This came up on my feed. 15 year upload 😮
These hand grippers still work just as well as they did 15 years ago, some stuff never grows old.
Hi Lee thank you for your videos. What is harder , to close a 350 lb hand gripper or to bend a 100 kg power twister?
Should I buy adjustable weight hand gripper? it can adjust from 5-60kg
Nice one mate just got a heavy gripper today and its a perfect fit for my hands I got 100 pounds and i can do 12 reps with my right and 8 with my left. thx :)

Richard Porter how long did it took?
5 days and I had them. USA address.
No shit, did u get the whole set?
100, 150, 200,250 I have a lot of work to do
Yeah, thinking I was a hulk, I got all 6. Man, my 400 pound beast of a little brother could barely do the 250.
this will truthly help me in boxing.because when sometimes i punch hard my hand bends and i twist my punch because i have a weak wrist.
How do you train then? Would you do it every day? How many reps/sets?

I'm 18 and 165lbs, working on GHP Level 6 at the moment ( between #2.5 and #3 )
When I can close GHP 6 I will jump to #3, might even try to cert as well😃
Would closing a #2 for 3 parallel reps be good for 16 years old? What level where you at 16?
Lee, what should I start with? What would be your equivalent of the "Trainer" from Captains of Crush?
I ordered all the hand grips a few years ago and was training with them religiously. I didnt receive a copy of a handgripper workout though, i wish i would have i definitely would of kept up with it if i knew what i was doing.

You need to invent a comparable device for working the Thumb.
Do you ever turn them over to work the grip from another angle?

i have some cheap plastic big five grippers where can i buy these heavy grippers???
this would probably help a lot in arm wrestling
Wow no one has mentioned just chalking the palm not the fingers. Great tip
It makes a huge difference 👍
How long should you use hand grips in a week?
Hi Lee - thanks for another very informative video. Quick question: Do you feel as though you get more forearm work from having a bent elbow or a straight elbow? If anyone else would like to comment, I'd love some additional feedback. Thanks everyone.
You could try it both ways and see what works the best for you. But I feel more comfortable and stronger with my elbow bent.
Anyway we can buy the forearm training manual from your website without getting the hand grippers (received the same set as a gift)

@NL59FIFTY heavygrips are more suited for people with smaller hands. The springs seem to be a bit weaker. Still a good gripper.
