5.0 out of 5 stars The Ferrari of Hand Grips!!!, December 23, 2004

By	Ivan P. Baotic "ivan_tech" (Shelton, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are really serious about hand grips, and you want something that is not your standard sport shop model, this is where to go. I got the Trainer, and for someone like myself that has been using hand grips since childhood, it was too easy. Then I got #1 and that was tuff; but I decided to get #2 and #3 as well. I have just recently graduated from #1 and using #2, and maybe in a year or more I can go to #3 and get certified.
Let me tell you this, if you can squeeze #2 at least once all the way, you are good. You can't really understand what I am trying to tell unless you get one. So if you are person that has never used hand grips regularly if at all, then go with the Trainer. If you have been using hand grips for awhile, and looking for something harder, then get the #1.
Remember to always squeeze hard!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Trainer, July 21, 2005

By	J. Sprouffske (Rainier, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was searching for a durable quality gripper that took some power to close. I figured that I would have no problem closing the Trainer and figured I would buy the Trainer and the Level One gripper. Glad I bought the Trainer. The Level 1 is pretty tough to close and I like to do it a few times then go work on the Trainer.

As for quality like Mr. Baotic said, these are high quality. Now that I have two I want the whole set. I've heard people complain that the grips are a little rough but they don't injure you at all they are just rougher so they don't slip when you sweat. If you want a quality, durable, gripper buy from the Captain's of Crush line. I know I will never go back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality, Great hand workout, March 19, 2007

By	P. D Huang "happy reader" (chula vista, ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very tempted to start and order the Captains of Crunch #1 and bypass the Trainer but after reading the reviews I opted for the Trainer.

Good thing.

I was amazed that I had a difficult time closing the Trainer 10 times when I first got it and by the second set I was burning out at 8 reps.

Now two months later I'm up to 2 sets of 12 reps and 1 set of 10 reps.

I figure in two more months I will order the #1...but use the Trainer as a warm up.

Handle is rough but prevents losing your grip. I do have some new callouses but nothing overt.

Very good product that produces good results.

p.s. I keep it in my car so during my commute I just do several sets...so no excuses to get your grip in shape.
