Big squeeze!

Today I received my 'Bone Crusher 150, 200, and 250#' grips. I went with Bone Crusher brand from ironwoodyfitness.com because I saw a link on rosstraining.com. In addition, they were cheaper than the Captain's of Crush which now debating whether it was the better choice. Once I can close the 250# with authority 10 times with each hand I will invest in some CoC grippers. I am somewhat disappointed in the strength of the grippers. I was hoping that I couldn't even move the 250# gripper, but unfortunately I can nearly close it with my right hand. Stupid left hand is a bit weaker. The 200# seems almost easier to close than the 150#. The handles are a bit more narrow than the 250# and 150#.

Of course I could not resist working my grip immediately after getting the grips in the mail. I am already feeling the fatigue and I have not even worked out yet.

My legs feel a little beat up from the sled sprints yesterday. DL's tomorrow!
