greppstark Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Somebody owns this gripper? Is it a good training tool? Are the handles the same dimension as regular RB grippers, 20mm? http://www.handgripper.net/Shop/Adjustable-Handgripper-black-Adjustable-Handgripper-Chrome-textured-Adjustable-Handgripper-deluxe-Aluminium-Handgripper-with-chrome-Spring/Adjustable-Handgripper-standard-black.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yes they are 20 mm. The Spectrum of CPW are 21 mm. It's a great tool. I will send you a pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Here you can compare 4 different adjustable grippers. From left to right: RB - Vulcan - Vatiz - Iron Grip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jörg Keilbach Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think the chrome version is a little bit more expensive. Otherwise there is no difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jörg Keilbach Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We'll be selling this at CPW. Working on getting them up now. Matt, I would advice you to get them with one handle milled of. Makes it much more useful and you could still use the thumb screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I really like my RB adjustable. I also have the Vulcan now but I can't really say one is better than the other (like some argued in the past), their feel is totally different. Both great training tools. The RB feels closer to torsion spring grippers. The Vulcan is harder to set. I trained with both yesteday at the end of my gripper workout did supersets between the two. I also used the RB springs on the Vulcan. Edited June 19, 2015 by Evan Raftopoulos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks edit: what are they like to use? how does the 'Feel' compare to a baraban? thanks again. I had to pay 90 $ + shipping. The nurling of the Vatiz is very slightly and the lowest tension is harder than that of the RB. The handles of the Vatiz are closing flat together. On the RB they close more like a torsion spring gripper. But there is not much difference of feeling. Hope that helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 For those who have both, are the handles of a Vulcan of a thinner diameter then the RB Adjustable? In the comparison pic above they looked to be, but maybe that's an illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I can't recommend enough this gripper! For those who have both, are the handles of a Vulcan of a thinner diameter then the RB Adjustable? In the comparison pic above they looked to be, but maybe that's an illusion. I'll upload some pics.

Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I posted this in the other RB thread: to appreciate even more the small gaps on this gripper I combined the data. This also helps to use as a reference when you are training as it's hard to remember all this. I don't know RGC values when combining the two springs which gives even more possibilities 1-1 = 25 lbs (weak spring)1-2 = 29 lbs (weak spring)2-2 = 32 lbs (weak spring)2-3 = 36 lbs (weak spring)3-3 = 39 lbs (weak spring)3-4 = 44 lbs (weak spring)4-4 = 48 lbs (weak spring)4-5 = 51 lbs (weak spring)5-5 = 57 lbs (weak spring)5-6 = 60 lbs (weak spring)1-1 = 62 lbs (hard spring)6-6 = 67 lbs (weak spring)1-2 = 69 lbs (hard spring)6-7 = 72 lbs (weak spring)2-2 = 77 lbs (hard spring)7-7 = 78 lbs (weak spring)7-8 = 83 lbs (weak spring)2-3 = 87 lbs (hard spring)8-8 = 89 lbs (weak spring)8-9 = 93 lbs (weak spring)3-3 = 95 lbs (hard spring)9-9 = 99 lbs (weak spring)9-10= 104 lbs (weak spring)3-4 = 105 lbs (hard spring)10-10 = 112 lbs (weak spring)4-4 = 115 lbs (hard spring)4-5 = 126 lbs (hard spring)5-5 = 137 lbs (hard spring)5-6 = 147 lbs (hard spring)6-6 = 160 lbs (hard spring)6-7 = 169 lbs (hard spring)7-7 = 181 lbs (hard spring)7-8 = 194 lbs (hard spring)8-8 = 204 lbs (hard spring)8-9 = 214 lbs (hard spring)9-9 = 229 lbs (hard spring)9-10= 241 lbs (hard spring)10-10= 252 lbs (hard spring) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Love that RB. It's going to be central to some#3 cert training. I'm going for it. Nice Matt! I hope you cert soon. Where are you on grippers now? btw with CCS training I noticed that there is less strain in the hand as you work with relatively lighter grippers vs MMS closes. Yet the strength gains should be there. I think Alan Barch is a good example of that. from here: http://www.ironmind.com/news/Alan-Barch-Jr.-Certifies-on-the-Captains-of-Crush-No.-3.5-Gripper/ “I rarely do partials and no matter what gripper I use I focus on speed! 6 sets of 2 with a reset at max speed is something I routinely use. I want as many great reps in a workout as possible so I rarely do rep outs. “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
