Sports Equipment Stores: Heavy Grips by Heavy Sports Review

Five stars for quality and appearance.Good knurling.This is a very attractive and seemingly well built gripper.At "100#" though this is pretty weak.I have never trained my grip before and have popped my knuckles all my life.As most men go, my hands are not that strong for shaking and crushing.If you are interested in grip training than the odds are that you've done a fair amount of exercise otherwise and if that's the case, you can rep this thing outside of its range of usefulness.It is much easier than the workforce or pony brand spring clamp from home depot which are obviously not designed for grip training.

After buying this, getting it in the mail and seeing my wife close it a few times (she is no strong woman) I ordered the next three in line.At this point I have nearly enough invested in them to have bought the whole 1000-350 set outright with shipping.I that seems like too much money to spend and you are serious about starting grip training then SAVE UP!Regardless of what you may have read, these are good grippers. You can get six of these shipped for th price of three IM CoC gripppers and if hand strength is what you're after (not "I closed the #..." bragging rights) then buy the set.While you're waiting to accumulate the dough, do some finger curls, pinch holds and roller work to prepare yourself forthe crush training to come.

One last thing, if you're looking for a single gripper and have never handled one before (a real one I mean) then it will be impossible to gauge your perfect starting gripper.I would suggest that if you are a man who dealifts, does pull-ups or any other heavy back exercise w/o wraps then the 200# would be the one to get.It may be too tough to close at first for some, but shouldn't take long.Do partials and negatives until you can.It's better to get a gripper that's a little too hard then one that's too easy.The 100# is too easy.Don't waste your time with anything less than the 200# unless you buy the set, then the 100 and 150 become EXCELLENT training tools to warm up and acclimate your hands to the loads that they will be responsible for crushing.

I hope that this helped someone and appologize for the length.
