Category: Crush Grip Strength

Technique: Grippers

Execution: Closing torsion spring grippers. Many advanced techniques not discussed in this video, but will be in later installments are: BTR, Strap Holds, Overcrushes, Inverted, Finger Specific and various other setting techniques - no sets, CC set, parallel set.

Here is the quick overview on how to set a heavy gripper. There are some other technique adjustments, but this is the quick and easy run through.

Things talked about are no setting, the dogleg (anchor leg) of the gripper, using the thumb pad as the base, setting up the proper hand position, the sweep, walking the fingers and the close.

No setting the gripper provides for a greater sweep (ROM) and great muscle fiber activation. This has application to sport performance such as; football tackles, wrestling, combat athletics - just to name a few.

  • I wish I could hear the instruction.

  • Sorry, I did an audio replace, and it replaced over the entire video, I will try to get the original uploaded again without music.

  • You got it Odin!

  • Have you every experienced/or heard of a spring snapping? Do you look away when you are closing?

  • It is very rare to have a torsion spring snap, but it does happen. Normally, I don't look away when closing a gripper. Ironmind grippers are the best quality on the market, so I would anticipate the risk is very small.
