CoC Gripper #3. Hard as Fuck!

CoC Gripper #3. Hard as Fuck! Lmao this is a great title

A buddy at wwork has the # 2. We have been doing it for the last 2 months. I almsot get it closed to where they touch, just cant quite get it there yet. So i figured i would go to the store for us and pick up one for myself and there.

So i get there i figure i would pick up the #3 since i am close to closing #2 and theres no need to spend another 27$ on another step up when i could just spend the 27 on the 3. So needless to say i got the 3.

Well after repping it i get a huge pump in my forearms. Extreme vascualrity. mY FOREARMS used to be "girly" no real strenght no real defintion. But honestly after using the captains of crush gripper #2 i have extreme strenght advancement. I feel i can pop a closed can ion my hand now.

Ive heard strong foreamrs are important for lifting heavy. Plus my handshake now is rough and heavy and strong as hell.

Def recomend these things to anyone who does forearm excercises in the gym.

These things are real fuckin workouts. I could swear i feel the pain in my left forearm (the good type of pain) to where i can say holy shit it feels like i went to the gym and had a hole workout for forarms.!

Just felt like sharing that and to give them recomendation for anyone who works there forearms!

The CoCs are awesome for grip strength and forearm development. I highly recommend them.

I'm considering ordering a CoC gripper, but I'm not sure which one I should start out with. The gym has one of these, http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/WristFlexors/LVGrip.html. Could I possibly use this as a reference to what I should start out with? Example, 200lbs. on the machine = CoC Trainer (100lbs.)? Thanks.

[Edit] Forgot to ask. Also how do you go about training/integrating crush grip training into your routine? Reps/Sets/Holds/How often/etc.

Hehe......I have a weak #3 with a narrow spread which is significantly easier than my other 2 #3s. But I still can not close it. The number 4 is a real bitch.

I love these things too. I have a #1 & #2 from years ago (from Ironmind). Just this year I got into Forearm workouts specifically. Got up to about 14 reps on the # 1, still couldn't close the #2 all the way. Got demoralized, laid off grippers for awhile.

But I ordered some other cool equipment from Ironmind, a thing called the Telegraph Key that you close just with the tips of your thumb & fingers, and a special type of wrist-roller called Twist-Yo'-Wrist which you roll up the rope by grasping the large ends (instead of the middle of a bar) -- this is exactly like opening a lid on a jar. Both these things make my Pinch-Strength stronger (strength for grasping objects with the finger tips).

Since I've been doing these, my Gripper strength has gone up noticeably even though I didn't do Grippers for awhile.

Now I like doing the Grippers again, and want to get stronger at them. I've closed the #2 just once, for a hold of nearly 20 seconds in my left hand, but never again since. But now instead of closing the #1 for reps, I close them for holds, as long as possible.

There is a great feeling after a good forearm/grip workout. Clench the fist, flex the forearm, it feels like my arm becomes a hammer.

But I still think the very best grip exercise is heavy deadlifts without straps.

I think I'm going to implement some Ivanko Super Gripper training at the end of my workouts, along with some pinch-holds or dynamic thumb work, just for kicks. I'll be damned if I can't close the #3 with my right hand this time next year.
