Life goals before this video: world peace.
Life goals after this video: cRuSh A bRiCk
When old mate grabbed that potato I was so hoping he was about to crush it.
I thought so too, would have been a nice raw mashed potato
that would have been super gangster had he done that shit
Me too!! 😂 😂
the younger human male on the left looks like he' s a #2 CoC / 10 reps kind of guy. Strong, but not that strong.
I'd say the human male on the right looks like he could barely close a CoC #1.5, maybe do a few reps.
He did watch at 3:01
Now i want to get strong enough to crush a raw potato.
New life goal
Dapix me to
me too but my friends laugh me lol
@@alperuysal7840ignore them they don't have the mindset.
Did you get there yet? I've found starting with apples helps build specificity
I can close #3 but there is no way I can crush a potato
That's impossible.. People can crush an egg when holding it like this
That intro song is pure cheese
Jim Lazorbeam if u liked that, watch to the end! he starts fucking ripping that track
It made me want to check out the Sega Genesis game ;)
Yup. Lamest I've ever heard, but maybe that's intended.
its pure cringe
Hahahahahaha!!!
I love IronMind and Captains of Crush, but was it truly necessary to explain to the viewers that the 1.5 is halfway between the number 1 and number 2?
Given that a number of people don't know how to solve embarrassingly easy questions like "If you're traveling X units per hour, how long does it take to travel X units?", they're probably just erring on the safe side. Better not to leave them in the DUST.
It looked like they were trying not to laugh on that part. Lol
Yes
Yes, you would be surprised
Ha ha ha ha ha
It'd be great if you guys came out with a video on how to properly train with them and when to move on to the next level.
agree.
Jedd Johnson has videos about grippers like that. I know it's 3 years late...
You might be 3 years late for him but it helped me!
Jack Lewis Awesome!
Jack Lewis when you buy one, it comes with packets and pamphlets with programs
I find it interesting so many comments of people saying they are closing the 3.0 or higher and yet their UA-cam channel has NO CONTENT or at least no video of them showing this. Seems suspicious. If and when I get to being able to close a 3.0...I am going to post that shit everywhere. 😂
Having a tough grip could be useful for when an attacker gets you in a headlock or something and you can simply crush their forearm so that they have to let go from whence point, you may administer further bodily damage.
Michael J McCurdy are you really serious ??
Michael J McCurdy dam I gotta get my grip strong strong
'Life-saving levels of grip strength'.
Hey, if you can crush a brick or potato; why not an arm? Clearly the Mountain trains with the 4.
Michael J McCurdy if you have the power to crush some ones forarm, think what you can do if you catch their balls
Rather not.
I can close .5 gripper for 12 reps.!!:) I am happy because this is much better than any other hand grippers you will find any local stores!!
Kruscher76 are you plumber ? that's so strong
@@googudaddy8252 Not really. I can close the Number #1 for 21 reps. Im only 5"4 -150 pounds.
@@hemingway3508 I just closed 2.5
@@MMAFreakofNature Yeah but are you 5"4? The 2.5 is very easy for someone who is 6"6 and 250lbs
I thought I had decent grip strength so I bought number 1. Good grief, I can't get one clean rep.
started with the guide for rehab on my left hand... I've done karate for about ~14 years now, but have always had a crappy grip... started working with sticks in filippino stick fighting about a year and half ago and NEEDED to improve my grip strength... worked with the 60 lb for about 2 months while having it in the car and occassionally (few times a week) worked through max reps and have seen dramatic improvement in flexibilty and strength... cannot recommend these enough!!! ^_^
Very inspiring! I feel the rush of adrenaline in my blood as I watched this video. At least I want to get to number 3 one day in my life. The voices of these men are very macho and challenging. This is a five star video.
i’m 18 and csn do 2.5 so the goal shouldn’t be 3 we should strive for 4

How's it going by now?
@@lucashenriques4242 not bad, stuck at number 2. I was distracted, but will make a huge comeback soon.
I can close a 2.5 and best on a 3 is about 1/2" gap. I keep a full set at work, including GHP grippers and Warren Tetting grippers to completely bridge the gaps, they are very fun to train with. The best is when some desk jockey comes into my office thinking he's some hoss and can't even close a #1 :) PRICELESS moments :)
Can you close the 3 yet?
@@THEADZBRADZ not yet :) maybe after another training cycle or two. Grip had been dormant
I’m going through the same thing. Currently I’m 17 and my goal was before I turned 18 I wanted to close the COC 3 gripper. Sadly many issues got in the way of my training including school, work, deaths in the family, and more. I have a month till I turn 18 yet I hope I can close it soon. I wanted to be the youngest person to ever close this gripper but sadly I most likely won’t achieve it before turning 18. Anyways I hope your goal has been achieved and hopefully I can join ya as well. Cheers mate
@@Shy2Low30 You wouldn't be anyway because coc3 long before you wrote this was already closed by a 15 year old Korean. But that's not important in the long run
@@ILoveCiniminis wow really… that’s insane!!! I sadly injured my hands recently and wasn’t able to get to it yet. My hands are finally healing and I’m getting super close to getting it. Thanks for telling me about the 15 year old doing it btw… Anyways cheers mate
I'm pretty experienced in grip training (for Armwrestling) but it's been a while because of Covid-19. Just got my set which includes the Trainer, #1 & #2. Shipping was fast and customer service was excellent! The Trainer is a fantastic warm-up grip! I was able to get 10-12 legitimate reps off the #1 but it was harder than I thought it'd be. I closed the #2 all the way two times but couldn't get another full rep. Granted, my forearms were FRIED from using the first grips. I know it'll be a while before I need to get the #3. But these are AMAZING & beautiful grippers!! Quality is unmatched and it's a MUST for anyone serious about grip strength!
I would be careful going above 12 per set. I really think it's counter productive. Just stop after 10 and rest, then do another set. I went for 20 on the number one with my right hand. I'll never do that again lol. The muscles and tendons in your elbow wrist and hand are small, much easier to strain them than your biceps.
I started out with the CoC#2. Took me a week or two to close it the first time, but damn the quality is just great. The knurling destroyed my fingers for the first days but now it got quite a bit thicker.
I bought the #1 and, despite having always had a good grip, saw the rather difficult task there. However closed it straight away. Now, after about 4 months I am closing it 10x each hand, maybe more on the right.
Just ordered 2.5 and can't wait to close that bad boy
any update ? Did you actually jump from 1 to 2.5 ? Because that' s rough
IronMind suggests that you can do 25 full credit card reps on a gripper before being able to close the next one. If you can't close #1 more than 10 times, you probably can't close the #2.

I remember first getting my number 1 in the spring and not being able to close now I just closed my 2.5 last weekend.
Liar
@@chesschamp276 Your mom lied to your dad.
Just started using grippers and I can already close a 3 after a month of training. Hope fully I can close the 3.5 by the end of the summer👍🏻 Edit: I’ve been working out for a few years and have worked manual labor so it’s not that impressive I know for a fact 2 of my friends can close the 3 on their first try
If your story is true , then you have set a world record. You could be closing the #4 in a year. However I doubt you are telling the truth. Some dude in my gym who deadlifted 540 without straps and he couldn’t close the #1.
Beefy Biceps I started with this 250lb gripper then closed my friends 3 after a month. If you want I can send you my instagram. I personally think not many people train grip so there is in tapped potential out there
@@beefybiceps5232you totally underestimate the grip of labourers.
Really nice quality grippers. I’ve just bought some myself
Got the trainer and am just about able to close it, great product, well calibrated to those with average grip strength who are just starting out.
Great I like this video Ben working on number 3 captain of crush gripper for few days now waiting for number 4 to get here for maximum strength😊
Fab video and explanation of the COC products....excellent quality and standardization. If I owned a gym I would give a free months membership to the guy who could squeeze the highest numbered gripper. I would chain them to the gym cinderblock wall and let everybody take a crack at them all.
Thank you for posting. Regards from Switzerland😊🇨🇭👍
This video kinda helped me
I wanted to buy 350lb while can't close 250lb lol ...
This's why i changed my mind 2:47
Using a grease gun for about 10 minutes a day actually helps build grip strength... seriously
Yep!
You’re right, gotta do PM’s on air handler motors and lemme tell ya. Biggest pump
How’s everyone’s progress? I’m 5’9, 68kg and started with the T. It used to tire me at rep 6-7, but now I can close #1 5 times for 3 sets, aiming to get 10 times for 3 sets before I move onto 1.5. Hoping to have settled on 1.5 by end of 2019.
Im 5'4 at 120 lbs (54 kg). I'm currently at above a #2 but below a 2.5. I've closed a gripper with an RGC of 118 a few times. I hope I'll make it easy soon.
Update?
@@Quarter_crush_86 that’s stupid strong for your weight bro holy shit lol
@johnny tightlips lol thank you! I haven't gotten much progress, but some is better than none. I'm currently at an RGC of 123lbs on a filed Platinum Standard gripper. New favorite. I can always post a vid of that on UA-cam
@@Quarter_crush_86 The step between #2 and #2.5 is huge
I reached #2 on both hands after a few weeks of training, and I'm slowly coming closer to #2.5
I know I can reach given enough time
CoC is a great school of humility and patience. I'm not lifting, only swimming, but do have large hands, I'm 2 mm away from closing CoC 1, after many months of random trying. once, hopefully, closed, I'll move to 1.5.
thank you guys for the quality of your products.
That's where I'm at right now. I'm undecided whether I have actually closed my #1 or not. From what I've read of people testing the actual resistance, the 1.5 is slightly closer to the 1 than it is to the 2, so maybe I'll manage that before my old age limits me.
MY first was the 1.5. After 2 years I'm almost crushing the 2.5. But the .5 is amazing for volume
Damn took you so long. You must be doing rep work like 8-10+ reps
@@Carbondioxidinashvilli getting to the 2.5 isnt for everyone. Tough gripper.
@@Nick-cp8wf but his first gripper was 1.5. considering that, its too long. I've never seen anyone close even a #1 on their first try in person even with a small set. #1.5 on first try is strong
@@Carbondioxidinashvilli Yea, the 1.5s come in pretty stiff. Very hard for a newcomer. So is the 1. A lot of people do exaggerate when claiming their first gripper close. Even a day of getting accustomed to the feel and basic technique can help a great deal vs ones actual first attempt with grippers. Coincidentally the 1.5 was my first gripper. I have already had experience powerlifting. Strong. 400lb max bencher years ago. I did close the 1.5 and it was a max effort. Very hard. Took me around 1.5 mnths to close the 2.5 which i thought was insanely hard when i first grabbed it. 2.5 is stilla stout gripper. They are coming in stiff nowadays as i have gotten 3 in the 130s. Hardest one at 135.
@@Nick-cp8wf Excellent. I have a question, what was your deadlift 1 rep max when you closed the 1.5 for the first time? Curiosity.

After several months of gripping my old Weilder weights hand spring it finally broke today. It was 30 years old.....I have been squeezing 2000 grips per hand per week for about a couple of months now. I have just found the Captain of Crush grippers today and purchased the #1 on Amazon. I am looking forward to getting a quality gripper. The calluses on my hands are ready for the knurl grips. Hoping I picked the correct COC spring rate to start with.
Rob Vaillancourt that many reps will do little to help your grip. 285 reps a day is astronomically well beyond effective or intelligent. Use a gripper that challenges you to do 5 sets of 5-7 reps, 2-3 times a week instead
NEVER touch the coils with your hands. The oils that come out of the hand cause the metal to rust.
Cory Hill Nice name
You can fix it with some Silicon Spray. Then its NO rust
Thanks for that info. Mine have gone a dull colour
In 30 years only 5 people have closed the #4 and ur talking about 4.5 lmaoo
Accidental238 wrong Chat sir
just got this amazing product and holy shit it's perfect, better than plastic and not causing unnecessary noises, and it's a challenge
One score and 5 years ago I bought my T,1,2, and 3. They will be passed father to son.
They've been on my desk for more than a decade. The real-deal
I got the Trainer gripper and it's pretty tough (yes i'm a wimp). But it's a nice start for someone who's lifting heavy stuff all day! #notsponsored lul
I will be getting the No 1 soon once I am done training with the 132lb one I have now. 😊
these grippers are awesome
U know what I'm buying iron mind, I see a ton of cheaper 200-350 grippers but seeing how this brand is really dedicated to it just like harley davidson for chopper models, than I'm in

This comment is for progress documentation.
I received my Captains of Crush sport (80lbs) on 10/25/2022 215lb deadlift is tough (neutral grip) I can do inbetween 3-5 reps with the COC Sport
OK, you've had over a year, where you at?
love the song
you prob love "bring the pain" too
I have a Sport; it's not bad. Think I'm gonna jump to a 1/1.5/2 next.
Hope you didn't jump right from a Sport to a 1.5 or a 2. That's a world of difference, a #1 is no small difference.
You guys sell these outside the US ?
Are you familiar with Used Grippers at CPW? How ” great ” is the great condition?
I might get a BBGM 160 or BBE 165 there. It’s the only way to get them nowadays
I closed the 2.5 with my right hand on occasion, left hand I was able to crush the 2 gripper
To clarify if you aren't a dyel you can close a number 1 easy. If you're a meme lifter then don't expect to close it. I started with closing a 150 for 6 after lifting 3 years
I don’t workout and after a month of training these grippers I can close the 1.5...grip strength can easily be trained by itself. If your like me and want to be fat but with a good level of grip strength. Hahaha 😂
@@firnameweren5311 150 is level 2 you fat mess
Hi, iron mind.
I just want to said something very little.
I think that in this epoch some people Can close de COC 4, so, i think that we Can do a 200 kilos gripper, it's very good ❤❤😊
I started with #1 a few years ago.
Now I can close the #2 (from fully opened) for 8 reps, with each hands.
The 2.5 however, I can only do 3 reps with my right hand, on a good day.
Most of the time I am unable to close it with my left.
I just bought coc# 2 and i closed it from first try with my left hand ( im right handed), and almost with my right hand. It's funny because i am right handed and my left is stronger. Also had distal tendom rupture on my right arm.
@@JuanBarios Damn that's impressive! What's your day job? Usually, farmers and mechanics have crazy strong hands
@@DarkSim64 i train a litle at home, and mechanic
How has your progress been going? I started a month ago unable to close the 1.5. Now i can close it for 5 reps and is millimeters or about 1/4 inch from closing the 2. Do you think i'll be able to handle the 2.5 in the future?
@@bilbobaggins138 I haven't trained really, but I always keep my 2.5 close to me on my desk. Now the 2.5 is easy for both hands (no set full reps) and on a good day, I can do 4-5 reps per hand. I always do "no set" because I have large hands I feel like setting the gripper is cheating lol. But that's just me.
You started directly with the 1.5 and do 5 reps a month later? If you work hard enough you'll be able to close the 2.5 eventually for sure. Try sometimes doing holds as long as you can on the 1.5 for single reps. And try to do multiple sets of like 2-3 reps maybe.

Make a Captains of Crush #4,5 - 400lbs

People who closed the CoC #4 did so with different set of rules. Since 2004 no human has closed the #4 because you introduced the credit card starting position rule.

when is the #5 coming out 🦍
What is harder to close , the CoC No 3 or the 110 kg Itta power twister?
What kind of injuries are possible with extensive training of the grip?
thingtwiceaboutthis make sure you train your hand extensors to help prevent injury
I want one, mine only goes to 90lbs and I cab do 10 so now I need the lvl1
I have a bodyworx adj. Hand grip which is adjustable even though its max is 90 pounds ! Why don't you guys make adjustable hand grips ?
Adjustable grippers are very inaccurate in the pounds of pressure you are really doing. Having a set spring that is rated at one number is far more accurate and consistent. I used to use an adjustable one before buying these and the adjustable one is such a joke now.
I'm only 17 and almost closing GHP 5 which is slightly tougher than #2.
I'll be the first man to close GHP 10!!! :D
UPDATE: 18 years old , right now I close GHP 5 for 5 reps and working on GHP Level 6
UPDATE 2: 3 mm away from closing GHP Level 6
UPDATE 3: Closed GHP Level 6, just got a GHP 7 which I only get to parralell
#1 for 22 reps
#1.5 for 17 reps
Age doesn't matter, weight does, most likely a relation between those, but weight is more crucial
KoWe Kingdom
My point is that closing GHP 5 at such a young age is impressive.
However I am now 18 and working on GHP 6 now
Viktor E What's your weight then?
KoWe Kingdom about 165lbs, I'm not skinny though.
Viktor E I'm 17 and about 140 pounds and I managed to close the #1 in two days, without previous training, I've always been the strongest kid in class, it's not that impressive tho but #1 is not that easy
Thanks, so how often should I use gripper training
Is the other guy's name "Eric coxunballs" 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 man listen to it.... That's the perfect name
Pls post how to vids for the other products!!!!!
Is there any way these aren't quite as tight after years of use + leaving them in the car under the hot sun? I find it odd that so many co-workers can come close to closing my #1, but years ago when I tried, no one was even able to close the trainer. One of my co-workers closed the #1 on his first try, and three others were able to do it on their second attempt.
that's possible. heat can do that.
I’ve noticed this more with heavy grips, I have found that despite my CoC 1.5 and 2 being heavily used over the years even serious lifters usually cannot close them. A few people can maybe close the 1 once or twice. If someone can close a number 2 first time they probably have been training their grip extensively in other ways.
How do you choose online which level to buy? 100 or 150 lbs?
Good presentation👌🏼
Down with the sickness?
Is there a difference between GHP 6 and CoC #2,5 ?
Which one is the easiest between the two?
I need to know since I'm probably gonna get GHP 6 before CoC #2,5. But I'm not sure.
I'm confused about which is harder.
The GHP 6 is generally a bit more difficult to close, but since gripper can vary you can't be sure. Some GHP 6 are easier than some CoC 2.5. Look up RGC gripper ratings.
I have both, and the GHP 6 is harder than the 2.5. Have closed the 2.5 quite a few times and have only ever closed the GHP 6 once.
mine GHP 6 is harder to close
This is for Iron Mind, has anybody ever stated that the left hand is harder because of the direction the coils are wound? I’ve noticed my gripper fits naturally in my right hand and the pull is straight back, but in my left hand has a bind. Do you think a left and right hand gripper would be good? I’m interested to know if anybody else has seen this issue.
They make left turn grippers. I'm left handed and just ordered my first one. Based on the minimal research I have found about it, the grippers are a little harder in the left hand. From what I've read around .25 level harder.
something for finger extension would be amazing too.
Very good video. You don't mind if I give a shearing? Saludos from Puerto Rico.
I'm 6'2" about 16 stone and 15% body fat at the moment, looking to do some events this year.
You should start off with the Trainer.
Ok, but who asked?
These grippers are great. I am working myself on trying to get a ccs with the 2.5. Aiming for certification by Christmas! Ps I'm 17
I ordered the whole set. So far I can't close any of them....because it's not here yet. Lol
How often should i train grip for increasing grip strength
Does training exclusively with Vise/Ivanko adjustable grippers translate over to CoC grippers? Say if someone can mash the Vise on a setting which is equivalent to a CoC 3 then how long would it take him to actually be able to close the number 3?
dGp: We have never heard of anyone training exclusively on an adjustable gripper and then successfully closing a Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper, but that’s not to say it cannot be done. Gripper ratings are far more complicated than most people can imagine, so what seems to be a simple matter of comparing one poundage rating to another is almost never the case, and most often creates a false sense of certainty. Back to earth: train as hard as you can on whatever gripper you have!
that intro song is definitely not a rip off of down with the sickness
I just closed the 2.5 :). On my way to a 3, which is a beast :(.
Prakash Rathod have u closed it yet
Ya boi Jedi..... It's been a while now since I've posted that. Just to give you an update, I can mash monster close 3 on a good day, but can't close it on a credit card set. I'm literally 10-5mm away :(. I can do 5 solid reps on the 2.5 now. Still working to close this beast someday. But I know I will get it.
I always had a strong grip, i picked that up when working as a carpenter at 19 and then kept on working my grips, I wasnt sure of the difficulties of these gippers so I bought the #1 CoC.
I got to say, preety good stuff. I closed it, as expected right away, but it stiil took me a couple of weeks to close it 5 to 10 times in a rool.
Am looking to jump up to the #2 or maybe 2,5 and check that out,. Im fairly certain I can close the number 2 but am sure it will be a bit of a challenge.
But anyway, great product. Worth the 28 quid I paid for it.
Got me a Trainer for my misses too, she can close it 5x. Might just get her to train on my #1

What are your top 5 grip books?
I grip my COC regularly and do hundreds of reps!
That means Heidi Andersson only can close the 2 first?
I can do 30+ times with a plastic gripper with left and right hand. Which one should I buy next?
0.5
good grip not only is impressive, you can actually lift heavier weights, hang longer and keep more autonomy with age (studies have shown you suffer less Parkinson's effects)
Can you tell me what the diameter of the handle is? Thank you.
20mm
I have a number 2, which I can almost close by about a millimeter, and I have a trainer, which I can do about 50 times in a row, should I buy the number 1 or the 1.5?
Buy both number 3 and 4 so you can feel a extreme resistance.
Dont care if you can close them or not thats not the point. Take a number 3 or 4 and squeeze them lightly and really feel the heavy resistance .rest like a minute. And for every minute you will go back and push a little bit harder and harder until you cant push more. Then set the gripper and sqeese it as much as you possible can and push it even harder with your leg and hold it . Just before you feel your hand is giving up you release it and rest a couple of hours. And a few hours before going to bed you can set the number 2 all way in using your leg. You release a couple of millimeters and hit with all your power and try to get that last millimeter or inch.
Training with this grippers is about quality: short extremely high power bursts and holds if you want to get as strong as possible in shortest amount of times. Get a lighter gripper and train with it and hope you will close that harder one you cant close yet is a nightmare. My own experiences
And dont overdo it. You dont really need to train as much as you think with these to get strong. But you must try to push more than what you got every time you do train in order to get really really strong.
Training with lighter ones will only pump you up and do little with real true strenght
Does it matter which way the gripper is facing in the hand, many people talk about the appearance of the spring and it should be facing one way or the other. The measurement must be the same regardless of direction.
For whatever reason, and I will trust there is one, the "dogleg" side should face your thumb. The one that starts curving sooner should face your fingers.
Where I can order 80lbs gripper?
You dudes are awesome 👌 👏 😎 🙌
Never was able to get the 2.5 closed...came so close to getting the handles to touch but just couldn't do it. I have tried a million training methods but none seem to work....very frsutrating.
2.5 is a tough gripper. What are your stats? Great job getting close, you have good hand strength already.
@@Nick-cp8wf Thabks, it's frustrating though. I changed my grip routine to an every day routine where I do at LEAST 3 sets with the 2.5 - I close it with both hands and try to keep it closed - note these aren't negatives though as I don't try to keep holding while the gripper is opening. Then I grab the 3.0 and dobthe same. I can sometime cose the 3.0 with two hands. I can close the 2.5 with two hands but once I let go with the second hand, it stays about a Milimeter apart. This new routine is DEFINITELY working though, my hands are getting "Thick" and my forearms are getting bigger too - something I didn't expect at all.
@@user-kt6fp8me6h Did you get it?
Is it harder to close a CoC #3 or a 100 kg power twister?
the handshake at the end 🤣
Crazy that at the time of this video a 10 year would close coc4 9 years later with ease
How many times can these close before the spring fails/snaps?
What do you do to balance it out?
