Default Re: Captains of Crush gripper challenge

Good Luck guys.

A few things.

As Blarg knows, the position of the gripper in the hand is very important. Make sure you get the dogleg in the right place.

Read both boards for good gripping info.
Also check out something called J.A.G on the Grippermania board it's an interesting idea that allows micro-loading of a gripper.

Sledge levering is great for hand strength if you have the space. Magnets and nails make good micro loading or just move your hand on the handle.

Lastly don't forget the pinch grip, block weights or thick bar work. This will increase overall hand strength. And pinch grip / thick bar seems to directly translate into sweep strength on the gripper.
