Heavy Grips Hand Grippers Is The BEST Choice For You!
The Heavy Grips hand gripper series was developed for athletes who want to take the training of their grip strength to the next level. These heavy-duty hand grippers allow you to train your grip and actually gain strength using low repetitions instead of doing endless reps with plastic handled department store hand grippers.
These high-quality aluminum-handled handgrippers are made in 50 pound increments from 100 pounds of tension to a whopping 350 pounds pounds of tension! So that you can train your grip similar to training any other bodypart - by increasing resistance. These grippers are not just a novelty... they really work and have helped thousands of athletes improve their game.
The Heavy Grips are manufactured using high-grade aluminum for the handles, which are machine-knurled, then chromed. This allows users to get a good grip on the handles while not being too rough on their hands. Our heavy duty springs are electrophoretically coated to resist rust and surface damage.

[@SacrificialLamb71]

Nine years is an eternity. And you're still here! I actually need to find a gripper for both myself (I lift), and my 93-year-old father. I'm just looking around online, at the moment.

You did a good job with this video. Thank you for helping out the grip community.

[@chrisharris6834]

I looked for quite a while for a “how to” video. Yours was the first one I found. Not disappointed! Thank you!

[@TotalFitnessBodybuilding]

Glad it was helpful, it's an old video, but the techniques still apply today :-)

[@job187]

Thanks for the video, Lee. My deadlifts have started to suffer from my gripstrength so I'm incorporating griptraining into my routine. I ordered Captain of Crush #1 and liftingchalk which probably will come tomorrow. Thanks to your video I now know that I can't approach a serious gripper like I've been handling the cheap ones.

[@crazymennonite]

This was very helpful thank you! I just got a set of these in the mail to help with my grip and forearm development as they are my weak link in weight lifting.

[@TrippleZ3D]

It couldn't be explained better!Thumbs up coach!

[@ryanb94457]

Thanks Lee. I've been using mine wrong so thanks for doing this video.

[@jhmmgf4236]

how many years to close the 350?it is ridiculously tight!!

[@BIGNESHO]

jhmm gf three years man💪😎⚡️

[@AuthenticSunnah610]

Top Stuff. Thank You very much Lee for the demonstrating the correct way to use the hand grips. *******

[@Asdfbedffhdsxe345]

Great video...I can't even close the 200lb ones, but I'm building strength. Thanks coach, from England

[@1tonyjaa]

how is it now? :D

[@diamondmidnightgardener]

I've been doing this wrong for years; just tried your technique.. much more effective. thanks

dude can close the 350, thats pretty damn impressive.

[@alanwright5935]

Well done lee

[@gilstrap1969]

great video lee, ive been incorparating hhg training in my routine once a week and my tennis elbow has cleared up ..ormaj this type of training is only meant to b done once aweek and you musnt neglect your extensor muscles

[@giammira]

Well explained the positioning of the gripper! I think setting it that high in the hand is easier with these HG grippers because their handles spread is narrower. When I do that on Captains of Cush, as my hand is average/small, it requires setting it by starting the close with the other hand, because not all my fingers can reach around the handle

[@jre52301]

Nice presentation

[@GripTrainer]

Great Vid! Very informative!

[@Bonespirit07]

thx for video, i started training yestoday

[@Mani_Matter]

Good work

[@JxT1957]

i used to do grip workouts with the bathroom scale, works great in measuring progress

[@oscarstenberg2745]

Wouldn't that be more pinching than crushing strength?

[@silva27]

great tip!

[@SGTcrackey666]

Nice one mate just got a heavy gripper today and its a perfect fit for my hands I got 100 pounds and i can do 12 reps with my right and 8 with my left. thx :)

[@Stryker_Rain]

thx for the tips!

[@DudeStrength]

Like the Video, thanks for you'r tips. Go on inspiring people!

[@voianhemsed]

Another great tool for forearm and grip training is the wrist roller. These are great because you can use a standard weight plate with it. I am only using 2.5 KG with mine at the moment and its a good challenge!

[@ralphruhl3806]

Hi Lee thank you for your videos. What is harder , to close a 350 lb hand gripper or to bend a 100 kg power twister?

[@midnightsun2085]

Mr Hayward. What you recommend for a complete beginner who has never worked out his/her hand? Thank You. Inderpal Singh.

[@sanucesMMA]

Thanks!

[@voncoolio]

Great helpful video. I've been using the Ivanko super gripper 3 weeks and my grip is already improving a lot, but I have a problem. In my left hand especially, I have great pain in my index and middle knuckles during and after using the gripper, but not so much in my right. Is there any way of stopping this or advice you could give me? It would be REALLY annoying to have to stop training because Im just starting to get stronger!

[@vsallbutme]

@leemhayward r these really all that good ? thinking about getting them feed back from others will be good thanks :)

[@925dada]

thanks for the sharing useful info with appreciate

[@kbi35]

Lee is a great teacher . You should listen to him. He can also close the LE HG400. Keep it up Lee!!.

[@midomansour1]

thanksssss that was helpful:)

[@sikhman100]

@leemhayward very proffesional video easy to follow and informative. ive been gripping for 3 years and am very close to doing the 2.5 COC. ive done the #2 numerous times. Its been slow progress. have u ever considered a media career lee, your a smooth talker. thats for sure

[@ashlengovender4240]

I just ordered the 250.

[@Lippo187]

Thx for your help guys! I changed the HG200 for the HG150 :P the HG200 was pretty strong for the beginning... you said that i should always have a easy one for a warm up,is it ok to close my HG150 50% as a warm up?...dont wanna spend the money for the HG100 only for warm up... thx!!!

[@Kaiser187]

@leemhayward i know you said they work the forearms other than the hands but does it work out any other muscles in the bicep region ?

[@muhammadakmal4025]

Should I buy adjustable weight hand gripper? it can adjust from 5-60kg

[@Einsatzfahren]

thank you. now i can close the COC2 some times

[@BXAssasinatorXS]

@leemhayward Hey Lee would it be safe to train with grippers every day, if my hands don't hurt? If not, how many days should I wait in between workouts? Thanks.

[@easyoblation]

Dam nice man!!!! I wonder how you would do with the c0c#3.5 or #4

[@xkruulx]

@leemhayward thank you lee, I just bought some yesterday online!:)

[@trace1571]

I bought the 200 through the 300 and i can close the 200 3/4 of the way. If i keep doing this will i eventually beable to close the 200 all the way? Thank you

[@Martti020]

okay, that's relieving to know. Thanks :D

[@orcryst75]

Lee- Obviously we all are at differenet points of strength when we start. As a beginner what poundage of heavy hands do you suggest I start with buying.....

[@MrMongolWolf]

@leemhayward such a Great Information thanks so much !!! one question--> Im on 200 right now but only can close 2times so how long will take me to level 250 ? sorry 2nd question is how many times should i train per week ? sorry last question is how many sets should i do per training? feeling a bit annoyed because so many question? he he he Regard From Mongolia...

[@ChristofferCollin]

I got my grippers today, was able to close the 200lbs 20 times and the 250 lbs 3 times. It will be exiting to see where Im at in 12 months of grip training. I do BJJ and this will help my game a lot. I prefer this product to the Captain of Crush because I dont have to "set" it before trying to close it.

[@425narutofan]

this will truthly help me in boxing.because when sometimes i punch hard my hand bends and i twist my punch because i have a weak wrist.

[@REDMANKLAN]

Hello I bought the 100 first and was doing 20 reps each hand every hour at work and also after every work out. Im bought the 150 a week later and I'm doing 10 reps every hour now is this a ok work for these grippers! Man I love them puts the wood handle ones to shame!!!!

[@xbatman1x]

what do you do if your hand starts getting sore? mine is killing me and only used my gripper for a few weeks. any tips?

[@TKDdans]

i can close the handles together so they are parallel to each other but i cant get them to touch yet. should i move on or should i wait until i can get the handles to touch?

[@Einsatzfahren]

i can close the Coc gripper for 10 times now, so when should i try the No. 2?

[@Chaaarge]

I bought a gripper that I can almost close, but not quite. Do I need to buy a lighter one, or can I work my way up by thraining my grip with a barbell? I do the excercise where you let the barbell roll down your fingers, not sure what it's called.

[@alexx21ful]

hey lee i workout 3 times a week mon wed fri and do cardio on tues thurs sat i ordered a pairs should i train with the grips on the days i do cardio.

[@Estka]

@leemhayward Nice close man.. Which COC it is equal to???

[@kimbofanno1]

That would really help out with deadlifting, whenever I get down to my last set I'm struggling just to hold the bloody thing haha, then I end up changing my grip stance (just doesnt feel natural having a palm facing in and a palm facing out)... Hey lee, what are the reps and sets supposed to be looking like for a heavy handgrip workout?

[@cockywatchman1976]

@leemhayward how do these compare to coc? Was gonna get a coc, but these are better value. Also where do I start? I'm average strength (bench 80, squat 115kg, but never done grip work). Was thinking 150???

[@JxT1957]

are these grippers better than the big vice gripper which uses multiple springs?

[@FarradMuseumofTruth]

im 14 and i have some hand grips with plastic handles i jus wanted to know that if i start using handgrips at age 14 would it stunt the growth in my hand?

[@Starxzy]

Thank you for this video you hlpd me a lot. What type of programme do you recommend in order to get a strong fist and how many days a week Should i train with heavy grippers ?

[@TotalFitnessBodybuilding]

You could probably search for some martial arts videos on how to toughen up the hands and fists. But as for gripper training, I'd recommend 3 times per week or every other day.

[@MrJSpice777]

I think i'll get this. I want to be a masseur so this would be good to build up more hand strength.

[@augustofendor]

Thank for the posting...Where do I get heavy duty grips from...???

[@sk8r4steam]

hello sir i have a question thats been on my mind for awhile and you seem to know whatsup with forarms ok well so for awhile i thought i had skinny wrists but in all reality my rwrists are normal but just below my wrist is a little skinny looking, now do these thing strengthen the tendons and make your forarm closer to your hand bigger, i know the wrist curls and stuff but thats closer to your elbow im trying to work on my forarm closer to my wrists, are these things what i need? thanks!!

[@somepass1]

this is a great video i have some cheap plastic big five grippers where can i buy these heavy grippers???

[@Martti020]

I bought some cheap hand grips, my palms hurt when I squeeze them :/ is it the same with other hand grips? or is it supposed to be like that at first, especially with weak hands?

[@Immortal__]

just ordered these today :D 100/150/200 !!

[@manuelramos2038]

hi, i came across the 100 pound, but it is really rough on my skin, is there away to help this?, thanks, and by the way great tutorial

[@bakirev]

I have a question. I just got a set of 2 the 100lbs one and the 150lbs . I can close both now with both hands. But my left hand is always more sore after the workout. And I have to rest more than a day for my left hand. Should I train less with the left hand? I am 14 btw.

[@WCmencken]

At what point of accomplishment should II go to the next gripper. How many reps and sets of reps in a period of time should be notice to go to the next lb increment.

[@63falcondude]

i just got the hg 200 for my first gripper and i can do it for around 10 reps. should i move up?

[@NightClash909]

Can you get certified for the CoC #4 since you can close the 350? I'm not sure how the certification works or are there more rules because I've seen more than five people on KZbin close the #4 Grip.

[@ThePebbleOne]

should you do these every day? I ordered those, they are amazing :) i am doing 200 now, but i hardly do them.. should you do them everyday or?

[@MrAnory]

hello i have recently started bouldering (some kind of climbing) and would it be useful if i also start with grippers to improve my climbing ore will it be useless please help me

[@metallicsaber120]

hey lee i just ordered my full set of heavy grippers, i wanna know whats a good rep range to stay at, if i wanna increase my grip on deadlift? would you suggest mid reps or very low reps?

[@akiraperera9574]

Hi, I saw your pdf on the heavy grips hand grippers. 1 question. Can you elaborate on the "over crush"? I didn't quite understand it or see how it was any different to "heavy negatives". Thanks!

[@4ormonamy]

I just bought a 30-40 (Adjustable gripper) I'm not aiming to go for heavy grippers.. But i want my grip and forearm to become stronger. How many times should i use it in a day?? How many sets?

[@Makysha]

I have a grip, but my hand is too small to actually do the hand gripping correctly, and I can't get a smaller one because of where I live, they aren't usual..Suggest giving it away or how am I supposed to work it?

[@filcox]

Closing the hg 350 is quite impressive. My hg 350 is harder than my coc #3. Nice work.

[@ihatebobsaget1989]

this would probably help a lot in arm wrestling

[@stevelau1933]

I've tried a 200lb gripper and it was hard enough for me to only get a few reps with each hand. Never knew they went up to 350lbs, but I guess it is possible with your form.

[@hairymangosteen]

Hey Lee, i play basketball. Will this help improve the amount of strength that shooting a basketball? And will i be able to grip the ball better, like holding it? Thx lee appreciate your help. Bought mine already..:)

[@bakirev]

@leemhayward is it normal that my hands take about three days to recover?

[@MegaFreshFood]

Hey lee , is it ok if I do this when I take a walk and on classes under my table?

[@Srpskeoci]

Lol my grip got tired already trying to practice the right way to grab my grippers i mean my forearms look fairly big but man do appearances lie my grip is weak! so yeah im considering to get me that

[@EricCartmanFTW]

does hand grips hurt ur fingers? i dont have problems with closing it but my fingers really hurt after im done working out

[@MrAlexR123]

@leemhayward Hey I just bought the HG200 and I heard that pound for pound Heavy grippers are easier then the CaptainsofCrush is that true? Oh and this is a bit off topic but I was wondering if you had any tips on recovering after workouts.

[@Lippo187]

hi guys!i just got a HG200 (its my first handripper ever)and iam not able to close it complete(maybe 80%) is that a big problem or normal when you start the training with them??? thx for your answers!!!

[@63falcondude]

@leemhayward dont mean to bug you here but have you ever tried captains of crush? i want to get the 2.5 but im afraid that it will be too easy

[@bakirev]

I have been training for 7 weeks now and I wanted to start the intermediate program which is on your site. I can close the HG150 5 times. So it says. HG 100 closes, HG 150 closes and HG 250 attempts. are the attempts the same as the closes or do I just try to close it?

[@FarradMuseumofTruth]

i got some hand grips and got 2 in 1 package but i think both r for right hand wut do i do?do i still wrkout?

[@Ali3009ify]

thanks man, one more question, there HG 400 and 500 out there, can u close the 400 or 500?

[@pjbustos]

Anyway we can buy the forearm training manual from your website without getting the hand grippers (received the same set as a gift)

[@Crytek1337]

hi man, i can almost close 300 lbs gripper and the 250 lbs gripper, but i dont know wich one to use o.O? Should i use the 250 lbs or the 300, or should i just use 200 lbs gripper? I can do 10 reps with the 200 lbs gripper easily.

[@xkruulx]

Hey lee, do these help with lifting more weight at all? just curious because I'd like to increase my grip when I'm lifting since it tends to slip up or change positions or overall just not be gripped enough.

[@OoRobLol]

will these work on an ectomorph? I've tried pretty much everything but nothing seems to work for forearms :/
