They are very solid and will make you one hell of a strong gripper if you keep up with them and keep going up.

Ive just  een doing Farmers Walk and behind the back curls, but I figured I might as well mix it up, as the same things can get boring.

Captain of crush go from 60lbs to 365lbs.  Once you get over 120lbs they are really hard to close for full reps.

I also used the Ivanko super gripper. I select a resistance that I can get two sets of 20.

I think I am going to go with the Captain of Crush grippers. They look very well made.

They are expensive. The ivanko is made more for bodybuilders and the Captain of crush is for power lifters, strong men comp guys and Olympic lifters. The Ivanko has a lot of adjustment in one gripper but if you're 280 and have the hands of a gorilla they won't give enough resistance like the Captains of crush.

I have tons of grippers. CoC are very good. (Randy (Dr. Strossen) is a friend of mine that I see at the AOBS dinner on occasion). And some of the CoC knock-offs are good.
I bought an original Ironman Gripper from the 70's years back for 20.00 at the AOBS dinner of of a friend.

I mentioned it on Dr. Strossen's forum (Ironmind), people were going crazy asking me to sell it to them.
I tried ebay, and got 350.00 for it :)

Its sort of a cult (visit the "Grip Board") but a fun hobby never t he less...

The Bruce Lee gripper is actually my fave.

Ya, for twinks they are useless, agreed.  ::)

But some legends who can close the #4, not so useless. Real iron-men and women, use grippers.
Poser wanna-be twink bodybuilders, do not...

Lee Priest, Frank Mcgrath?

Would pull up ridiculous pictures of them but my computer isn't letting me click things which is amazing
Did any of these twink bodybuilders with bigger forearms than that guy at a lower bf% use hand grippers  ????

You can buy the 3 pack for $60.  That is a very good deal for a high quality gripper.

Do hand grippers or grip training create any noticeable difference in forearm size?
