You are tempting me to buy one. Which one is it you have again?

I started off with the Trainer. I now have the level 1 as well which i’m yet to use. Level 1 is two levels higher ( they go up by 0.5 increments) so there’s the guide, the sport, the trainer. 0.5, 1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4.

As of yet only only 5 people in the World have been able to fully close the CoC No.4 under Certification Guidelines. Level 4 is (367lbs)

You can become CoC certified when you close a level 3 gripper under the official conditions.

I went from barely closing the trainer to doing it for twenty reps in a really quick time period, literally made my grip so much stronger already. Good for building forearm mass too i’ve noticed.

If you’re considering getting one also look into buying the ironmind hand bands which is good for building up hand strength and keeping your whole arm healthy.

Heres my limited experience with training grippers: hopefully I can give you ideas for programming the gripper if you’re interested. If you read back in my log you can get an idea of what i use.

Firstly, start off slow because if you don’t it will thrash your grip for days and impact your gym sessions.

I stole timed holds from @T3hPwnisher’s log which are great and i’m also a big fan of negative reps where you do a certain amount of regular reps then complete the set with the other arm assisting. Week to week i was able to improve by setting targets. E.g:

If i could do 3 regular reps in a set maximum, you do three reps then 2 assisted so you’ve now done 5 reps. Next weeks session i was able to do 6 or so reps unassisted etc.

With timed holds i started off low ( like 20) seconds and added ten or twenty each week. Burns like crazy.

And of course once you progress to new grippers i’m sure the training will be different and progress will slow. ( obviously otherwise everyone would close the #4) I’m hoping what worked for The trainer will work on the #1.

So yeah i highly recommend the purchase.

Didn’t mean for such a longer post lol.

Damn @danteism @Irishman92 i’m subconsciously turning into a CoC gripper salesman. Hope i get my paycheck soon :joy::joy::joy::joy:

Thank you for that. I’ll probably get the trainer sometime soon then and I’ll look into hand bands.

No worries man, when you get it and have any questions i’ll help as much as i can. You should be good to go with the trainer.

Also don’t stress if you only manage one rep or even 3/4 of one at the start. I could barely manage one with my weaker arm when i started, it’s humbling to be defeated by a little gripper thingy haha!

I read it as referring to these guys

CoC fucking rock!

CoC No.1
Forearms a bit sore from yesterdays pullups but said i was going to test it today anyway (Plus i really wanted to). Wouldn’t really affect peformance anyways.

Thought i would struggle to get 1 but i managed 5 on my left and matched 5 with my right with a couple more reps in the tank. Did another set of 5 then some assisted closes. Cool because it’s +2 levels up from the Trainer.

2×5
Second set+5 assisted reps (10 total)
1×2 with 3 assisted
20 second timed hold.

All PR’s of course.

Captain of Crush training
Couple of warmup sets of ten with the trainer.

No.1:
1×6 PR 4 assisted closes
1×4 6 assisted closes

1×10 with the Trainer. This was all i could do, i figure whilst fatigued if i go from 10 to 20 i’ll be stronger so keeping these in to see how they go.

30 second hold with the no.1 PR

check out the albums Deliverance and Wiseblood. Fucking brilliant. America’s Volume Dealer is good too, but not a patch on those other two, really. I’d give the other albums a swerve; line up changes kinda fucked them.

back to school today, had a lovely 2 week holiday.

worked through 5 different combinations with slipping “The slip is a quick maneuver that moves the head left and right of your opponents straight punches (Jab & Cross). In order to slip correctly, you want to “compress” your shoulder to the opposite side knee. While you do this, twist your hips and bend your knees to minimize the amount of time it takes to get to safety.”

then a brutal ab circuit with 5 minute wall sits at the end, instructor walks past everyone with a big pad and whacks you on the stomach 5 times while your wall sitting. lol good for pain resilience.
