## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am looking to increase my grip, as my grip fails at 225 on deadlifts?  Shoukd I start with trainer or #1?**
A: Dear Darren:We recommend that you start with the Captains of Crush Trainer. When you can close it for 10-12 full, legitimate reps, you can start to work on the Captains of Crush No. 1 as well.  Thank you for your interest in IronMind equipment and best of luck with your training!

**Q: Does ordering from Ironmind on Amazon include the coc setting card?**
A: Dear Sir/Madam:

Many thanks for your inquiry.  The Captains of Crush ID card is not included with Amazon CoC gripper purchases.  If you would like an ID card after purchasing a CoC gripper on Amazon, kindly send us an e-mail with your mailing address and a copy of your Amazon order and we will be happy to provide a complimentary CoC ID card.

Thank you again; we appreciate your interest in IronMind equipment!

Sincerely,

Judy Mariuz

**Q: I have Walmart medium strength grippers. I do them ok  I want to move up but not so much that I can't do themWhat Strength COC gripper would suit me?**
A: I have those walmart ones and they are easy. If you can do a set of 12 it is time to order the CoC "Guide". I would say they are a little tougher than the walmart ones. I read the walmart ones are 50lb and the CoC Guide is 60lbs so that seems right. Great quality. Or get to where you can do 3 sets of 20 with what you have and get the 80's.

**Q: Best no to start with**
A: For an adult, normally if a person is ready for serious grip strength training but has not specifically trained with even a plastic-handled sporting goods store hand gripper or done any crushing work, we recommend that they start with the No. 1250 Captains of Crush Trainer gripper, or a No. 1402 CoC Sport gripper. If you have been working with sporting goods store grippers and have worked up into high reps, or if you use your hands daily in a stressful physical task, like construction work, then we recommend starting with the No. 1251 Captains of Crush No. 1 gripper.  Please let us know if you have any further questions!
