Customer Reviews

I have several of these-had them a year
I've owned the 150,250,350lb of these for over a year now. Having recently acquired the 300lb, I decided to share my opinion :).

The two minor niggles that are not worth marking them down for are A)You do need to dip the coil bit in a little oil first to prevent annoying squeaking. This is only needed once. B)Cleaning the grip is a must after a few months, otherwise it's harder to keep a hold of them if you are using a heavier version.

They work well if used consistently and carefully. I can currently close the 250lb with a little work and am 3/4" away from closing the 300lb (yes, that exact measurement is important...to my ego ok? :P). If you are going to train grip this far, I would recommend spending a little time on various grip exercise sites in general. It is possible to overtrain just sat at your desk. I did at one point when I first got them!!

Note, I am 6'3" and have moderately large hands.

The other tools I'd get for hand work are a Powerball (the metal one is very nice but the plastic one is plenty of work and easier on smaller hands), and some elastic bands to do the reverse of gripping just to balance the muscles a little. One gripper good for finger strength is the Prohands gripmaster pro. This device relies on far more repetitions and seperating the fingers out however.

I do work with some hand weapons like bo and knifeplay hence the requirement to build hand strength.

Little guide to size
I would just say that if you are not sure about which weight is best for you;

I bought pair of basic hand grips (york i think) and became comfortable 50 reps plus no problem.

Then i bought heavy grips 150lbs and it was imo only very very slightly more resistance than the previous generic york ones. So i would suggest if you have used other grips before than go for at least 200lbs.

Other than that the grips seem well made (not squeaking yet lol)
