Mikael Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 ...I discovered two certificates. One of "hg 300" and one of "hg 400". Each of them had one name. Aproximately how hard are these grippers in terms of pounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pty Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 If you can close an Im #3 you should easily close both of those grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I'm pretty new to grip training. Not sure what an Im #3 is? Is it the same as a coc #3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenBuddah Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 yes, it's IronMind's Captain of Crush, so CoC #3 = IM #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) HG400 is normally a little easier than a #3. HG300s vary so much it is impossible to say. Most are between a #2 and a #3 in strength. Edited February 28, 2007 by CoC#3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 yes, it's IronMind's Captain of Crush, so CoC #3 = IM #3 Oh, IM is short for IronMind... why didn't I think about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkmann Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 a non gripper geek answer is, they are very hard. Possibly hard enough that even with training not everyone can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfeemiman Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 My HG300 is closer to a #2 than a #3... a lot closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace3000 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 my HG300 is still tougher than my 2006 #3 in the last 1/8" of the close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetAGrip87 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 My HG300 is way harder than a #2 almost where my #3 is at in strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacknotch Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I squeezed my HG300 last night because of this thread. I haven't touched it since I got my #3. I got it down to ~1/2" I can close the #2 for 3 reps I can get my #3 slightly passed parallel So, my HG300 is much closer to my #3 than my #2. Oh and both my IM grippers are 2006 and I have done no seasoning on any of my grippers outside of squeezing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfeemiman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) All of my IM grippers are 2006. My HG300 (the only HG gripper I have) is a 2007. Oh yeah and I just squeezed my #3 and HG300 again and it turns out it wasn't as close tomy #2 as I thought... though I would still rate it on the lower end of the #2.5. Probably a #2.4. However, the only grippers I've ever tried before were my own (IM T-4 and a HG300) so I don't exactly have a good comparison.
