"How to Build a Bone-Crusher Grip in Just Minutes a Day"

Turn your hands into industrial strength crushing machines
by training with the very best hand grippers in the Industry:
The Captains of Crush Hand Grippers from Iron Mind

Dear Friend,

The "secret" of the Strong Man's strength lies in his hands. In fact, many of the Old Time Strongmen were better known for their feats of hand strength than any other kind of feat.

Hand Grippers have been building strong hands for well over a century now (we have the first appearance of a hand gripper advertisement in 1901.) Those old grippers were pretty crude by today's standards.

These days, the Captains of Crush Hand Grippers from Iron Mind are manufactured with state of the art aircraft grade aluminum and the highest quality springs available making them the very best hand grippers ever made.

The Iron Mind Captains of Crush Grippers:
The Choice of the Pros

Serious strength athletes need serious equipment, which is why the Iron Mind Captains of Crush Grippers are the Gold Standard. Sure there are cheaper grippers available, but the best in the game wouldn't be caught dead using them. The Captains of Crush are unquestionably the lead dog.

You would be hard pressed to find a top strength athlete who does not use Iron Mind hand grippers in his training. Pro Football players, strongmen, rock climbers, baseball players, weightlifters, martial artists, boxers, tennis players - you name it, they use em' - and it's no accident why they choose the Captains of Crush.

The bottom line is that stronger hands and forearms will provide a tremendous edge in every single sport there is, and the Captains of Crush hand grippers are the highest quality hand grippers ever made.

Hand Grippers: The #1 Grip and Forearm Building Exercise

There are many different methods for training the finger flexors i.e. the "crushing" muscles of the hand - hand grippers are the best choice and I'm going to tell you why. Unlike most of the "guillotine" style grippers you'll see which feature linear resistance; hand grippers provide dynamic/rotary resistance which increases as the handles get closer together.

This means more muscle fibers are recruited when training with hand grippers and that means better progress for you. The bottom line is that you'll get stronger faster, when you train with hand grippers than with anything else.

Climb the Mountain One Step At A Time With 7 Levels of Progression

The only drawback to hand grippers may be that you can't add resistance little-by-little like you could with a barbell. You'll need to have several grippers available for proper training, and the Captains of Crush are available in 10 different strengths which will help you "climb the mountain" one level at a time.

Here's a little more about each Iron Mind Hand Gripper level:

  • Learn How to Train With Hand Grippers

    We have found that to train with the hand grippers effectively, you will need at least three of them:

  • One that you can close easily for a number of reps - for endurance work, your "warm up" gripper
  • One that you can close for a moderate number of reps (8-10) - your "Working" gripper
  • One that you can just barely close or can't quite close yet - your "Goal" gripper


  • Each hand gripper purchased from this website will also come with a complimentary (That's FREE)Membership to our Gripper Training Email List where you will learn how to get the most out of your gripper: all kinds of workout tips, tricks and ideas to help you build an iron grip...plus, Gripper Training Members will also have the opportunity to be a part of training teleseminars, sales, pre-publication discounts and special deals that non-members will never even hear about.
