If you're not familiar with Ironmind or Captains of Crush you're probably thinking "big deal". But wait. Captains of Crush hand grippers are a notch above those store bought kind. The kind you get at K-Mart average 30 lbs of resistance, with the "tough" ones maybe tipping the scales at 50. The Guide gripper, the littlest of the Ironmind family, weighs in at 60 lbs of resistance. Then comes the Sport (80 lbs), the Trainer (100 lbs), the #1 (140 lbs), the #2 (195 lbs), the #3 (280 lbs), and finally the #4 (365 lbs). So while in the gripper world the fact that I closed the #2 (with a credit-card width set) is unimpressive, the average person couldn't shut that like that. I've been using these grippers since 2005 but have been battling injuries and other setbacks, so even though I'm not the strongest guy out there, I still like to think my hard work has at least put me in the "above average" category. However, some of you probably already know that I work out based on the fact that I microwaved some gym chalk (magnesium carbonate) and a 25 lb dumbbell (one of my lightest dumbbells). Both were pretty boring but they did establish the fact that I DO work out with weights. If this gets over 301 views by October, I may do a follow up video with my attempt at the #3.
