I wanted to do a review the first day I got it so that it helps anyone deciding whether to start with the trainer or the #1, I know I debated over it for a while and ended up with the #1 as my first CoC gripper.
Note: IronMind's delivery was flawless, very fast, zero problems with them. Highly recommended.
Background: I've been going to the gym for at least 10 years. This doesn't mean I'm a body builder or anything even close to that, it just means I've hit weights for a long time. I never really trained my forearms so I would say I have an average grip, meaning, average for someone who at least goes to the gym. If you've never done weights or rock climbing etc, this is not the gripper for you, start with something easier and work your way up.
First Impression: They are solid. The metal is a little harsh to the hand, but, let's be honest, if you want more gripping power you probably want your hands to show it, you don't want soft hands, so, see no big deal with it. Your hands will get used to it and will benefit from the calluses.
First time use: Closed it five times with my dominant hand, zero times with the non-dominant. Now, I mean close as in a bona-fide close, where the handles touch, none of that "almost closed it" story.
Conclusion (for now): They are definitely a good investment, the metal feels like it'll last a lifetime. If you think the #1 is too hard for you, follow your instinct, it probably is, start with the trainer. I've never been a fan of doing a 1,000 reps so this is exactly what I wanted, few reps of raw power, so it works for me.
I will update this review one month from today with progress info.
