No. 1: Where serious grip training begins; most people who lift weights can't close it at first. You'll want to master this gripper if your job or favorite sport or hobby involves grip strength. Finally, will that missing 1/8" be the kiss of death for Matt (there's probably a plastic surgeon in LA who could take care of this shortfall) or is there a workaround? I have heard from numerous grip specialists such as Jedd Johnson, Paul Knight etc. to be VERY careful with negatives. Only to use them sparingly (if at all) and only when fully warned up. Basically without creating a level playing field, I don't think we can find the answers you are looking for.I guess it's like comparing ATG squats to quarter squats. if you compare your own crushes as long as the distance is the same the length of the movement is unimportant ie if parallel set is apples and TNS are oranges, if you're only doing apples then it is a level field. Ironically, while IronMind introduced the idea of gripper calibration and discussed its limitations, Captains of Crush Grippers — especially the No. 3 Gripper — became the de facto standard by which other grippers were measured. [26] In 2004, IronMind made some adjustments to its benchmark No. 3 Gripper to ensure that it conformed to its historical standards, [20] making it a truly calibrated gripper.Negatives, first used to great advantage by Joe Kinney in his training to close the No. 4, are used to train on a gripper you can’t close. Close the gripper using an aid (e.g., your other hand, your leg) and then remove the aid and hold the gripper shut only with your training hand for as long as you can, fighting to keep it shut until it finally forces its way open.

No. 2.5: Bridge the gap between the No. 2 CoC and the No. 3 CoC - at the upper end, it could be crucial for progress. I also liked how uniform the Captains of Crush Series felt across the weight range. While most of my workouts used the Trainer model (more on that later) I didn't feel any difference in handle sizing, which made finding the ideal hand placement much easier as my strength progressed to higher resistances. The proprietary GR8 springs provide plenty of challenge and easily retain their strength. The posterior compartment of the forearm contains the extensors of the wrist and hand. These need to be developed along with the flexor/pronators, but most neglect them. I recommend three key exercises to help maintain balance between forearm compartments.If you want bigger forearms, don't waste time doing plate pinches. The load is too light, there's no pump, and it's almost all finger strength. But if you need to take down an opponent by his fight shorts, then pinch away. Strossen, Randall J., J.B.
