Emmanouil Marizas Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I can close my GHP Level 4 gripper,which is rated at 95lbs, for 10 easy reps. Should i move to Level 6 or it will be too much? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 You're going to hate this answer... but everyone is different. My gut reaction is that you definitely want a gripper between Level 4 and 6. Comparing this to IronMind, I have seen people who could close a #1 for 10 reps and could not close the #2. But in this case, the GHP 6 is actually like a hard #2.5. So that's a huge gap. Ideally you would have something around the GHP 5 and would be closing that for 10 reps to have a decent shot at the GHP 6. Short story: I definitely recommend something between those two grippers. Maybe an IronMind #2, GHP 5, or Grip Genie 4. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C8Myotome Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I know this is a 3 year old thread but if you don't have a bridge gripper, I would still get the GHP5. Cause going from 4 to 6 is like a 40 RGC jump. Bridge grippers aside the GHP5 would also be useful to maintain being used to their dimensions as you train heavier. I've never tried a GHP4 but I think they're close to CoC 1.5 which is relatively easy if you train grippers a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
