For years I've used cheap plastic grip exercisers to supplement my hangboard training and rock climbing. I used a friends name brand grip exerciser and knew it was time for an upgrade so found these. They are very well made and actually hard to use. With the plastic ones you get at sporting goods store I'd do sets 4-6 sets of 50 reps which is a waste of time really. Not so with these beast makers! They are very solidly made, no nonsense grip exercisers. For those wondering about the weights: I'm not a big musclular guy but I'm fairly strong, 6'1", 185lb, deadlifts 400+ with no straps if that gives an idea of my grip strength. 100lbs: I can do 60+ reps quickly but doing 20 slow feels like a solid amount of work. Great for warming up 150lbs: I can do 40 reps quickly and 15 with a 1 second pause at close is hard. Great resistance for the bulk of a workout 200lbs: This is hard. Getting to full close 10 times is a lot of effort and holding close 1 sec per rep I can only do 4-5. This is where gains will come from. I'll be adding something heavier as my strength recovers post-pandemic but for now this is a perfect set for most people. I might add a couple lighter ones for my kids to work on. Read more
