COC Gripper PR

[Debaser]

Try this for your grip technique for more leverage (though it's hard to explain without a picture).

First, look for the handle in which the spring goes into it straight instead of having a slight curve to it. Some call this the dogleg. This should be on the thumb side.

The big crease in your palm near the base of your fingers; that's about where the gripper should be. You thrust your thumb forward to meet it with a solid hold.

You will notice that the other handle is too far away for your fingers to get a proper hold, this is why you take your other hand, and pinch the handles together a bit till you can get a good hold. This is called "setting" the gripper. By the way your pinky should be in a position where it is basically halfway on the bar.

Then squeeze!

Just curious how many reps should you be able to do before you move on to the next one? I am thinking of starting with the trainer since I seem to have a real weak grip. It would be nice to be able to try them before you buy them.

The reccomended is 24 reps before moving onto the next one. This is on the package atleast. It says 10 -12 reps and you can start doing negatives with the next gripper up. Ill probabally be getting the Number 2 soon anyway,just to get a feel for it.

Hmm, I'm looking at mine now and can't see any difference between the two handles. Where is the slight curve?
