The Heavy Grips™ Hand
Gripper Series was developed for athletes who want to take
the training of their grip strength to the next level. This is
the perfect hand gripper for Arm Wrestlers, Power lifters,
Strongmen, Rock Climbers, Gymnasts and anyone else who wants to
develop a strong crushing grip and massive wrists and forearms.
These high-quality aluminum-handled hand grippers are made in
50 lb. increments from 100 lbs. to 300 lbs., so that you can train
your grip similar to training any other body part—by increasing
resistance. Grip strength is approximate and does not compare to
strengths of any other grippers on the market. If you want to
develop serious hand strength for a sport, or just want to impress
your friends, than the Heavy Grips™ Hand
Grippers is the only choice for you! |

The Heavy Grip 100™ takes 100 lbs.
of pressure to close, and the Heavy Grip 300™ takes a mind boggling

that only take 40 lbs. of pressure to close! Available in five
different grip strengths:

Warning The springs on these grippers are huge and will cause serious
injury if they break while using in an inappropriate manner.
Heavy Sports Inc. and any affiliates will not be held
responsible for any injuries that may occur while using the
Heavy Grips™ Hand Grippers. By
purchasing the grippers you agree that you will use them in a
responsible manner and at your own risk! The grippers are designed
to be used with one hand on the two handles. Keep your hands away
from the spring and keep the gripper away from your face and body
while in use to avoid potential injuries. |
Frequently Asked Questions Q: How come you sell your
grippers by the single gripper instead of pairs? A: When exercising with the Heavy Grips™ Hand
Grippers, the training format is similar to that of training the
biceps with concentration curls. Our grippers are very tough and
are designed for much lower strength and power gaining reps than
the average store-bought gripper. We'd be surprised (and very
impressed) if you picked up a pair of the Heavy Grip 200's and
rattled off a bunch of reps with both hands at the same
time. Q: Can I exchange my gripper
for a stronger or weaker grip? "The HG150 was not as tough as I had
thought" or "I'll never be able to close the Heavy Grip
300". A: We have a two-week no-hassle return policy,
which is supposed to be for those that aren't happy with their
grippers for whatever reason. They can return their gripper and we
can resell it after refunding the purchase (minus shipping). We ask
that anyone who wants to exchange their gripper for a different
gripper send a check for $6 made out to "We-Fulfill" to cover
restocking, fulfillment and shipping charges. It is not our fault
if you choose the wrong hand gripper and it costs $6 to replace it
with another gripper. Q: Which gripper should I
start with? A: The Heavy Grip HG100 is mostly used as a
warm-up gripper or for grip beginners. We recommend this gripper
for females, young athletes and people with a weak grip. It is also
a very high quality gripper for stronger people who like to do a
lot of repetitions. That's why it's called "The Beginner". Most strong people can do reps with the HG150-"Intermediate" and
find that the grips become really difficult at the HG200 level and
people of average hand strength have trouble closing the HG200 for
reps or the HG250 once. When training their hand like other
body parts with reps under 20, most people are surprised at how
fast they can master the HG 200 and HG250 and are ready to step up
to the HG 300. |
Q: I just bought a couple of
your Heavy Grips™ and have blisters on my fingers from the tread on
the handles. Why are they so rough? A: Good question. The gripper handles had to be
made of metal, as plastic handles just could not handle the torque
from the larger springs. Our grippers are made of cast aluminum
handles and without the knurling they would be very slippery,
especially if your hand gets sweaty. We have worked with the
manufacturer to ensure that the knurling isn't very sharp and the
aluminum makes it slightly softer. If you are getting blisters on your fingers than you are definitely
over-training with your hand grippers. Cut back on your training to
a couple days a week and you will find that you will slowly develop
small calluses on your fingers and won't notice the knurling after
a couple of weeks. All grippers manufactured after January 2004 have a lighter knurl
similar to a dumbbell handle knurl. It still allows for a decent
grip without as much damage to the skin on a "beginner's"
fingers. Many of the "grip elite" may not like the newer softer
grip, but we've been praised by a multitude of beginners! |

Q. How do you determine the
strength of each level of hand gripper? A: As our Disclaimer says: "the strengths are
approximate". Although the piano wire springs are wound
with a CNC machine, it is virtually impossible to make every spring
uniform in strength, and to be honest, it is much more marketable
to have a 'Heavy Grip 250' then a 'Heavy Grip 241' or Heavy Grip
'256'. Each gripper is tested by the manufacturer before being
packaged to ensure that the springs are as uniform in strength in
possible. If a gripper is more than +/- 5lbs it is called
out. We know only too well that in the real world
manufacturers do make mistakes and that's why we have a no hassle
return policy as well as a lifetime warranty. Due to a vast amount of feedback from consumers and retailers, we
narrowed the gripper stance of each gripper which makes the gripper
easier to grip for users with smaller hands, but at the same time,
sacrifices the strength so please note that all grippers bought
after February 2004 will be slightly weaker than the Heavy Grips
sold in 2003 and January 2004. The HG 100 is still good for
beginners and warm-ups and the HG 300 is still quite a force to be
reckoned with!! |
Q: Are you going to make a
stronger gripper to match some of the others on the market? A: It doesn't make sense to us to make a
gripper that nobody will ever be able to close! But at Heavy Sports
Inc., we don't always do things that make sense. In fact, at right
is a prototype of the HG500 being compared to the HG300. We
have never claimed the HG300 was the toughest gripper on the
market, but closing it is quite an accomplishment, and we are
pleased to announce that 22 year-old Jeff Peterson, a strongman
from St. Paul, Minnesota, USA sent us a video of himself easily
crushing the HG 300!! We have also had a few others in the past few
weeks, including Steve Gardener from the UK, Rick Walker
and Clay Edgin from the USA close the HG 300. These guys have
a "Heavy Grip". As noted above, the newer HG300's will be slightly
weaker and we expect many more people to close the HG300's, but
these guys closed the HG300 at it's toughest. Congrats Jeff, Steve,
Rick and Clay! |

"Crazy!"
Exclaimed legendary strongman Louis Cyr's great-nephew,
all-around tough guy and life-saving Canadian paramedic, Dave Black, when testing the prototype for the Heavy Grip Special Edition
500(HG500). Dave was only able to move the HG500 1/4", but was able to close it
with two hands! Dave says: "This gripper will never be closed!" Only time will
tell. |

Q: How should I train with
the Heavy Grips™? A: Our hand grippers are designed for
building superior hand strength. To do this you must train your
hand similar to any other body part and use low reps. You will not
develop a super strong grip by doing reps of 100 with a cheap
plastic hand gripper. Keep the reps in the range of 5 to 20. If you are able to do 15 to
20 reps with a particular strength of gripper, it is time to move
up to the next level of gripper. |
