Very nice video! And congratulations on being the first female to certify. I always understood that the dog leg should remain closer to the thumb (opposite of what you claim). GHP grippers even have finger markings on the handle that corresponds to the rounded end of the spring. What are your thoughts on this? The whole dogleg thing was considered a myth for a while but id like to get to the bottom of it. Thanks
You can use 2 hands to setup and to certify the other hand needs to present the credit card, so clearly at the start one hand won't be 1 foot away. She got certified so clearly knows how to do the process
Thanks for the lesson on gripper placement and I didn't realize that one side was different than the other. I just got the S T and the .5, so I have to ways to go to catch up to you. 2 is no joke! I struggle with .5. lol!!
Adriane - bad ass video. I've been searching for grip training tutorials with the CoC for a while and this is the best I've found. Short and you cover everything in good detail. Thanks for taking the time to show us newbies the ropes!
Amazing you can close the 2 with ease, dam, i haven't bothered opening it from the packaging. LOL I purchased the 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5, thinking i would be able to close the 1.5 out of the box. I did close in it one hand, but it was v.hard, so I purchased the T, the 0.5 and the 1.0. I would recommend anyone to buy the T (100lbs) gripper great for what it was designed for Training to be stronger. Regarding hand placement, you have have to really work on that, you know when its right as you feel the difference, I would advise to set it high on your palm like you showed then micro manage it, through feeling. Yep, like others say you should be close on the 2.5? Very impressive.
Great class and video but what's the proper technique and positioning for the left hand? Could you demonstrate that as well please. I did not know about the differences in the coil spring. Thanks for the information.
Most grippers are ergonomically designed for the right hand and more difficult with the left. However, there is no technique adjustment that can get around that. Iron Mind does sell a left-handed gripper called a "Left Turn".
So Adriane, first congratulations on closing the #2 gripper (wish I could close the #1 LOL). I'd like to ask you of your opinion of other brands of grippers. Are they all junk? Or is COC the ONE ALL, BE ALL of grip strength measurement?
Doesn't the dog leg end (straight end) go in the palm? Not sure if it was a mistake or if it's just a preference thing and really doesn't matter? Just confused a bit as I'm new to grippers... Great video either way!
Thanks, Adriane, subscribed! Probably the best video I have seen for beginners to use grip trainers. I am new and working on the lowly CoC Guide crushers. This video helped immensely especially with thumb aspect.

Seems weird a credit card has to fit before the crush. At the peak of the crush it's the same weight equivalence no matter what, doesn't matter what the starting position is. That's also very skewed towards larger-sized hands.
@Hobo_X Ironmind implemented the credit card rule about 20 years ago because the tendency of using the off-hand to help complete the close was becoming too much of an issue. The credit card puts everybody on the same page. Without it, the offhand can do 90% of the crush. It does favor larger hands but I've seen some smaller handed people get by. I'm guessing you don't have giant hands based on your bitterness about the CC rule. 🤷🏻
