In most cases it makes no difference, and many will say it doesn’t matter. Iron Mind doesn’t specify. Personally, I find that the anchor end of the gripper wants to kick out when the rounded side is the anchor, when using heavy weight grippers. It is more noticeable when fatigued. I believe the correct answer is it doesn’t matter. 🙏

A person sure would think so, but grippers do not lose resistance. The springs are never tensioned hard enough to cause a reduction in force, and if anything the get a bit stiffer as the steel work hardens.

Take it apart and remove all of the lube. Install the o-rings dry. Never use lube when sealing high pressure gas.

I personally find that the heavier weight grippers want to twist out of the palm with the curved side to the thumb, and that is why I always place the straight side to the thumb. With some grippers, the difference is quite noticeable nearing the end of a session.

Thank you 🙏

Glad you liked it!

Yes. You can find them on Amazon.

The instructions on where to get the o-rings and the size are in the video and description.

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense so basically the o ring outer diameter is 8mm and the inner diameter is 6mm and the cross-section diameter Is 1mm??

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense is that the right one bc im going to buy it

Correct.

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense ok thank you

Yes! I’ve had one leak which was fixed with a 1/16th turn tighter on the valve and I tested a few mags by placing them to the side to sit for a few months with new cartridges, and they held their charge. I think I just didn’t torque that one quite hard enough initially. The o-rings work perfect.

​@AtHomeTacticalDefense so i just got the o-rings in today, and it works, but when I shoot it, it leaks out small amounts and stops. Idk if that's normal but I'm hoping it is. The longest it been leaking out is 6 seconds and that sounds bad. Its not leaking fast but slowly like a faint whistle. I'll probably have to change out the valve if that's the other problem.

@AtHomeTacticalDefense that's my back yard.. by chance know Bob Hoyer , Ted Franson, Grey Horsyles, Steve Larson? (FYI I'm a 100% sure I spelled there names wrong

I do. They are all Professors and Grandmasters in Kajukenbo Tum Pai. You’ll recognize three of the four on the board at my 1St Degree test in 2002. ua-cam.com/video/TS03PIykDvs/v-deo.htmlsi=cDr75OXm9s6i0EmU

@AtHomeTacticalDefense Well this is blowing my mind. But brother there I am at the 57- sec mark in the video, standing next to my best friend Tyler. We trained at the castle rock school under Greg and Ted... we were there to help out with the test. I also Recognize geff Perkins. And Paul who was also taking the test. What a wonderful reminder. This really made my day.

Very cool! Good times. Stop up sometime and check out the school. We are in Lexington.

👊

Keep up the good work! 🙏

I bought the 2” tungsten off of Amazon. The large steel balls were purchased off of EBay.

Awesome!

Thanks! 🤠

You’ll make gains quick. Good luck! 👍🏼

I don’t know. The new model is much livelier, and the grip is improved. I wouldn’t go back.

Declan spends a significant amount of time on selecting the right sticks, drying, thorn removal, straightening, and shaping to the perfect fit. He is a true craftsman.

Thank you 🙏

My HG 250 is slightly easier than my COC 2. These are my best guesstimates of pull weights based on comparison to grip dyno results. Old HG200- 150lbs on dyno New HG200- 160lbs on dyno Red 200- 159lbs on dyno HG250- 170lbs on dyno CoC2- 175lbs on dyno Red 250- 187lbs on dyno CoC2.5- 215lbs on dyno CoC3-

Thank you!

The hammer is used only once per week. In between I am using the steel plate, Makiwara, and shot bags.

Not at the moment. I was closing it many months ago now and again, but I had a minor stroke and it set me back. I’m in physical therapy now building back up.

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense oh wow I hope you recover to a 100 percent 🙏

Very nice!👍🏼

I am sorry about the Parkinson’s. Keep busy. Thank you 🙏

Do you have access to a Tai Chi program? It would be phenomenal for balance later on. Work on break falls forwards and backwards with a good instructor. Get dressed standing up. Sit down extra slowly to build muscle strength. Incorporate extra effort into daily tasks to improve and maintain muscle strength. Don’t let a diagnosis hold you back. They diagnosed me with Corticobasal syndrome in 2016 and I’m still here. Now, they call it early onset Parkinson’s. Good luck!

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense thx mate for the good vibes much appreciated! Have considered Tai chi but currently using calisthenics for strength and stability. I'm 13 years now into this journey, have had DBS surgery, experimented with this, that and the other, etc... Have been learning drums for a couple of years now which is helpful and I was interested to see your pen spinning, could be worth a try with the drum sticks!

I love you too, John. Thank you.

Hey Toby know we aren’t on good terms but I’m sorry for your loss he was a good man for all I know and I’m happy I got lessons from him he was a good coach sorry about your loss

I only use the steel plate once or twice per week, or as my pain tolerance allows. The padded Makiwara and steel shot filled speed bag are used in between.

Haha! 😂

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense Thank you!!! Great video. Very informative!!

Sounds like you need a 300. 🙏

yeah it's funny how many "little" muscles there are in the hand. I have about 10 exercise just for fingers/hand. :)

You are welcome. 🙏

Yes, and I bought the Ringside because of the look. I do a lot of bare knuckle work and the extra seams on the Ringside can be problematic. Baring that, the Ringside is a great bag with a great look and a great feel. I’d buy it again. Given the need for another bag, I would probably buy the Everlast to have something different. I’m sorry I’m not more help.

Congratulations! 🙏

I’ve been playing with grippers since 2016, but I didn’t get serious until late 2022. I had a minor stroke about 3 months ago and it really set me back. I’ve also got a pinched C4-5 nerve that is causing weakness in my right hand. Before the stroke I was regularly closing a COC2.5, but I’ve regressed a bit and am having to work my way back up. I just keep training.

@@AtHomeTacticalDefense you are the man!

Thank you 🙏

We love the feel. Hard enough for great feedback, but not a brick.

Howdy to a fellow fly catcher!

Yes! There are some tough kids out there.

I think Declan’s current work has gotten even better.

I’m going to be wearing flip-flops on the street. Might as well train in them a bit. 🤠

It is always a pleasure to carry.

No nail bending here. I grip train for martial arts/grappling.

Thank you. 🙏

@AtHomeTacticalDefense You're welcome! I have been into archery for over 20 years and have learned allot of lessons the hard way. Lol I also made myself some PVC pipe bows and do a hybrid of European and Asian archery. It's fun.
