I finally broke down and got my first Captains of Crush grip training tool.
They are made in a variety of tensions:
Guide: 60# (perfect for beginner, senior or rehab patient)
Sport: 80# (active, but have not been training your grip)
Trainer: 100# (serious overall strength, but have not been training your grip)
0.5: 120#
No 1: 140# (use hand strength for your job or have been training with sporting good-store-type grippers
No 1.5: 167.5#
No 2: 195# (life saving levels of grip strength)
No 2.5: 237.5#
No 3: 280# (world class, get certified)
No 3.5: 322.5#
No 4: 365# (Be Like Magnus Samuelsson!)
Warm Up gripper - do 10 reps easily
Work Set gripper - 5-7 reps
Challenge gripper - The gripper you are trying to close next
As an amateur who has not completely let go of his ego, I opted for my first gripper to be the Sport. I can close this for 10 reps with my right and left hand with some effort. While that may qualify as a warm-up gripper, I am going to stick with it for some months, before going for the Trainer.
