python Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 (edited) Wondering if anyone who bought the Atlas Grip Machine is still making use of it and if it is rewarding as the newer Gripanator. Would like to know by those who owns one what they think of it now, since the Gripanator has replaced it as the Rolls Royce of Grip Machines. Edited April 15, 2004 by python Quote

I'm not going to entirely agree with this statement; different grip machines perform differently. I have the Atlas. Granted, it's not the greatest thing since sliced bread - but who's saying the Gripanator is?? The best grip machine IMHO has to be the G-Rex; you can train your pinch and your crush AND you can even use your own bodyweight on it!! Quote "I have always been strong.

Bill Piche Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Snott do you have a gripanator (G)? I have both. The G you cannot train your pinch, but with crush the G gets the nod over the G-Rex IMO. Both have their strengths. Quote
Sybersnott Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 The G you cannot train your pinch, but with crush the G gets the nod over the G-Rex IMO. To be honest, I should of stated that I don't have the Gripanator. Wanna, do YOU think I should get one?? Does it help the crush that much? Quote "I have always been strong.

Nothing will help crush without the EFFORT behind the training. You make it sound like the a machine will perform magic. Take two guys with the same potential, one with a few grippers and HUGE tenacity and one with a G who trains like my grandma, and I guarantee that the guy with a few grippers will whip the other guys behind.

HAMMERHEAD Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 Snott, I haven't used a SW and you haven't used a Gripinator. So here I go talking out of my ass. Both machines are similar in that they mimick a gripper. The big diff. is the G seems more user friendly. Give me a pm and we'll compare notes. -HH Quote

The G is more user friendly (from what I've been told), so I haffta agree with you there. Quote "I have always been strong.
