Product Information

The concept of calibration entered the gripper world when IronMind compared the variation among grippers to that in uncalibrated barbell plates to explain why there may be slight variations from one gripper to another. [22] [23]

The following chart, originally published by IronMind, [28] lists each CoC model with its approximate kilograms: Certification on Captains of Crush Grippers: 'Credit Card Sets,' 'Old Rules' and 'New Rules' ". IronMind News. Archived from the original on September 13, 2012 . Retrieved 2008-10-11. 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] Ironically, while IronMind introduced the idea of gripper calibration and discussed its limitations, Captains of Crush Grippers — especially the No. 3 Gripper — became the de facto standard by which other grippers were measured. [26] In 2004, IronMind made some adjustments to its benchmark No. 3 Gripper to ensure that it conformed to its historical standards, [20] making it a truly calibrated gripper.Women can start out with the Guide at 60 pounds of pressure, then move on to the Sport at 80 pounds of pressure. Keep in mind these grippers are tough on your hands so if you have soft hands and want to keep them that way, these are definitely not for you. No. 1.5: The bridge between a No. 1 CoC and a No. 2 CoC. If you are still gaining strength rapidly on the No. 1, move directly to the No. 2. If your gains are slowing down and you are clawing for progress, go to the No. 1.5.

I was able to close it 10 times with my right hand, but my left was only able to manage 6 repetitions. Nah man, come on! I'm not sure if you are being real with this question, but there are always going to be outliers. YOU could be the outlier. 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. Like Grip Damascus steel. Fold the two over and over and over again. They both get stronger. They lend strength to each other. Yes they will, initially. The handles are knurled, which means there is a small diamond shaped pattern embedded in the aluminum handles, which feels like metal sandpaper. If you want soft hands, then these grippers are definitely not for you! Instead, I had to approach it in much the same way as my other exercises: with a plan that focused on systematic progression.

The Gold Standard Of Grippers

How long is your hand? If you are already closing the #2 you're not "that far" off. That's in quotations, because of course the #3 is much harder than the #2. But, it's not like you're already doubting your genetic limits and are only able to close the Guide. You are at least at the level of the #2, so you are in a good spot. Basically without creating a level playing field, I don't think we can find the answers you are looking for.I guess it's like comparing ATG squats to quarter squats. if you compare your own crushes as long as the distance is the same the length of the movement is unimportant ie if parallel set is apples and TNS are oranges, if you're only doing apples then it is a level field. In 2007, IronMind introduced several products specifically designed to complement Captains of Crush Grippers, including the IMTUG (a two-fingered gripper) and the "CoC Key" (a tool for measuring the gap between the handles of a nearly closed Captains of Crush Gripper). Captains of Crush Grippers: What They Are and How To Close Them, Second Edition by Randall J. Strossen, with J. B. Kinney and Nathan Holle Wow, what a humbling experience. I thought that my grip was decent, and I couldn’t even manage to get out more than 6 reps with a comparatively easy model.
