"The Heavy Grips™ are awesome and they have added a lot to my training in the last few months."
- Curtis Dennis Jr., Bodybuilding.com author

"I tested all five models and liked them a lot. I crapped out on the 250-pound model, just couldn't
quite close it. The 300-pound model? No way, not even with two hands!"
-Chris Shugart, Testosterone Magazine


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!

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.
