Captains of Crush/Heavy Grips?
 

Anyone else trains their grip with heavy grippers? Wondering if any stores around Vancouver sell them...

Nope you gotta buy them online, I got the whole set of heavy grips two years ago. There really good to train with but I always forget to use them!

Damn. I wanted to try out a few before moving up to see if its worth it. Do you have an HG400?

I have something like one, except its bigger and you can control the resistance on it... If you're interested, it's yours for $15

not alot of stores sell the one I have

Is it Ivanko or Vulcan? Do you know the max possible resistance it pounds?

It's an ivanko... looks exactly like this

You go to UBC? Do you mind taking it with you some time next week? I'm definitely interested.

What do you need the HG400 for lol, don't think anyone can do that. I have 100lb to 350lb

i have 100 150 200.

i used to be able to do 150's full close for a few seconds. but i havent worked out for a while and i can only do the 100's lol.

i'd say they're useful. they definitely help you with grip strength and duration. like you can do deadlifts longer without losing grip on the weights.

just treat em like a supplementary exercise and add it like once to twice a week and spend 15min an arm. it makes a diff.

Yup! Part-time for now, but should be full time as of May. I'm there every day from 8:30 am to 11:00 am. PM sent!

Yeah man, they are an awesome tool! I've been using all sorts of grippers for a year and a half. I wish there was a store here though so that I could go and try a few heavy ones out to find a goal gripper. I don't want to order something of the internet just to receive it and realize that its not enough enough resistance or it is too hard.:ifyouknow:
