PeterSweden Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Im eyeballin' a coc3 i n the mid 140 range for TNS and CCS training. And my wife has started traning some grip again and she enjoys it. She trains grippers after legs and when she has back/bic she does rows and deads with an axle. She can rep the Trainer so Im also eyeballin' coc .5 and 1 for her. When Mr Cannon has a coc3 in that range I'll place an order. I've also thought about IMTUGs. Anyone have any experience with these? Are they useful and how do you use em? Dang, as I was wrighting this I saw that Cannon doesnt sell them :O Anyways, questions remains on the IMTUGs. Should I or shouldnt I buy em?

anwnate Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I've also thought about IMTUGs. Anyone have any experience with these? Are they useful and how do you use em?... I have some experience with them. They are extremely useful and hold down papers quite effectively. However, if you live in an area that is only occasionally windy, you could probably make do with a brick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 In other words, they are useless for building strength in the gripper department? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 When I started grip training, they helped me move past a sticking point. I do distinctly remember a stronger feeling in my pinky and ring fingers when I used them. As another member has explained to me, they really "bring your power at the close to 11" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the imtugs have a less aggressive knurling on them that's very pleasant to work out with if it's not a max day. I like these grippers. I just think they should be half the price of a regular captain of crush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have them and never saw any strength from them I got stronger on them but I feel like I didn't translate to normal grippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think they should be half the price of a regular captain of crush. Mike: In short, yes. But a few differences. The IMTUGs have a larger diameter, making it much easier to work with. They also have rounded edges that are nicer to the skin on your other fingers. They are a very specialized tool, fit for the job. Anthony: I am not sure either if they're worth the price. But if they went on sale for half off, I would definitely buy a set. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
