anyone use these? i feel along with plate pinches, these have definitely improved my overall (crushing and static) grip. i'm on No.2 atm (right hand only), hoping to get 2.5 in both hands by the end of the year.

what's your best?

Closing the 2.5...

Tried the 3 but was a good CM off closing it; currently have the 1.5 and 2 in my gym bag and use them both twice a week as well as the plate gripping & loading I do at the gym...

I got the 3 to a few mm a few years back, before I started training strongman

Then when I started training strongman, and my grip was way stronger than the rest of me

Then I broke my wrist, and my grip was a bit guff for ages

Now my grip is pretty good, I can still rep the 2.5, but I'm not as good as I used to be

Have recently started training grip seriously again, and will be making a run at the 3 shortly

I think I have only ever closed the 1 once and then even struggled to hold on

(I have stumps rather than hands)

2 x 5 was my best set of coc.

Not used them in anger in years. I can however still close the 2 if need be.

Closed a #3 for 25 parallel reps right hand and 15 parallel reps left hand. Closing it and just opening up to parallel has the best carryover to deadlifts and farmers walks.
