The strength of the Heavy Grips will not be the same as any other heavy duty gripper on the market as Heavy Grips test the twisting force / torque of the torsion springs, not lateral pressure.
Avoid Overtraining!
No pain, no gain does not apply to Heavy Grips grip training. Do not train with your Heavy Grips until your hand fully recovers from the last Heavy Grip workout.
Most athletic people are familiar with the standard plastic department store hand grippers. Many male athletes (over 14 yrs old) with average sized hands will be able to squeeze over 25 repetitions (reps) with the plastic grips which will help build endurance and give a lactic acid burn, but you can't build a crushing grip by doing endless reps.
To develop extraordinary hand strength you need to train your grip just like training your chest with the bench press, by doing low reps with increased resistance.
So if you want to develop serious hand strength for a sport, or just want to impress your friends, then the Heavy Grips hand grippers are the perfect choice for you! If you're worried about working hard, getting sore hands and possibly some calluses on your fingers, then this product is not for you!
The Set of 6 Hand Grippers contains 1 of each of the following Grippers:
HG 100 - Beginner:
At the first squeeze, the HG100 may not seem to be much tougher than a store bought plastic hand gripper, but it's smooth action and aggressive knurled grip can be deceiving. The Beginner is perfect for people beginning their 'grip training' as well as younger athletes, female athletes, athletes with small hands and warm ups for stronger athletes.
HG 150 - Intermediate:
People that have a fairly strong grip can usually squeeze out a few reps with the HG150, but it can be difficult for females and younger athletes although those athletes can easily work up to the HG150 in a short time with consistent training. Most athletes with consistent HG training will find that the HG150 only provides resistance for 3 to 15 reps for 2 to 6 weeks and they are ready to step up to the HG200 or beyond because the hand responds so well to resistance training with low repetitions.
HG 200 - Advanced:
The HG200 is the level that even athletes with a naturally strong grip may have trouble closing. Athletes with advanced grip training will not have too much trouble with the HG200, but those with no grip training experience will most likely find it very difficult to close the HG200 at the beginning of their training. When you are closing the HG200 for reps, your performance for any sport using your hands will be greatly enhanced.
HG 250 - Professional:
When you are closing the HG250 for reps, you will have to be very careful when shaking people's hand! If you can close the HG250 once, your hand strength is well beyond the average athlete. Usually only athletes with a hardcore grip training regimen and people who do heavy work with their hands can close the HG250 on their first attempt. Just because you have lifted weights for a few years, don't assume that you will be able to close an HG250. It's much harder than it looks!
HG 300 - The Gripper King:
Although there are approximately 20 000 HG300's on the market, we estimate that there are less than 200 athletes world wide that can do reps with this hand grip, although most male athletes (and there have been a couple of women) with an average sized hand can build up their hand strength to close an HG300 for at least one rep if they train regularly with the Heavy Grips. The key to closing the HG300 is consistency with your hand strength training and avoiding over training (don't train with your HG's more than twice per week or when your hand is still sore from your last workout).
HG 350 - The Grip Monster:
The newest addition to the Heavy Grip line up! The HG350 hit the market in 2006 at the request of athletes who complained that the HG350 was not tough enough! Although there have been some very strong athletes doing reps with the HG350, we haven't had anyone tell us that the HG350 was too easy! If you can close the HG350, your hand strength is definitely 'world class'.
