degradated Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Hello gripsters! I thought it would be cool if nobody has done this already to make a thread documenting the exact weight of the common tools we use for grip. I weighed and photographed several different devices on a My Weigh Ultraship U-2 scale (which is quite accurate). I changed the display to fractions of a pound and kilogram, although I could redo it in ounces + grams if anyone wants. I made this for myself so I don't have to keep reweighing my loading pin, weights, etc for each good lift but instead just do a little math. But then I got to thinking it would potentially be helpful for others too, so I spent a little time photographing them properly. I wiped everything down first, but I didn't want to get rid of the chalk seasoning on a few of them so bear in mind that the exact weight of the device itself might be marginally less. Here's what I have thus far: Ironmind 15" Olympic loading pin: Ironmind Rolling Thunder (new version): Ironmind Rolling Thunder (old version): Country Crush 1.75" Raptor: Ironmind Pinch Block: Ironmind Pinch Hub: Grip Genie Hub: Gods of Grip 12mm Low Hub: Grip Genie Hilt: Gods of Grip Inch Pinch: Ironmind Large Carabiner: Gods of Grip Carabiner: Dolibest Silent Swivel Bearing: (Pair) 2.25" Pro Series Fat Gripz: 3 1 Quote -Ryan Shinvill- 43 | 6'3" | 198 lbs Achievements: TNS: 1̶1̶7̶ CCS: 1̶2̶4̶ MMS: 1̶3̶5̶ ̶ DS: 1̶4̶4̶ IM Hub: 6̶6̶.̶6̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ IM Block: 8̶0̶.̶6̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ GG Hilt: 1̶9̶0̶.̶4̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ GM-150: 2̶4̶0̶.̶9̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ 2025/26 Goals: MM160 Cert, CoC3 Cert, CTD Cert, 265+ on GM150 IG
degradated Posted August 7 Author Posted August 7 I managed to dig up a picture from February this year when I bought the Ironmind block - together with the Ironmind small carabiner was 3.72 lbs (brand new, unchalked). For comparison, I just shot the same combo and it comes out to be exactly the same, 3.72 pounds, so chalk doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference in terms of adding weight. 2 Quote -Ryan Shinvill- 43 | 6'3" | 198 lbs Achievements: TNS: 1̶1̶7̶ CCS: 1̶2̶4̶ MMS: 1̶3̶5̶ ̶ DS: 1̶4̶4̶ IM Hub: 6̶6̶.̶6̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ IM Block: 8̶0̶.̶6̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ GG Hilt: 1̶9̶0̶.̶4̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ GM-150: 2̶4̶0̶.̶9̶ ̶l̶b̶s̶ 2025/26 Goals: MM160 Cert, CoC3 Cert, CTD Cert, 265+ on GM150 IG
