Robert Baraban Chrome Spring and Handle Gripper for Hand Grip Strength Pick ONE

Robert Baraban

  • $ 29.99


Robert Baraban grippers are handmade in a small Austrian shop by certified Captains of Crush, Robert Baraban. These grippers control tension using both wire and coil diameter - a process unique to Baraban. One of the highest quality grippers sold!

For best results, use your grippers after you've done your other strength training that might require grip strength: you can either use your hand grippers at the end of your regular strength training workout, or on your off-days.

Do 1 or 2 warm-up sets of 5 to 10 reps, using an easier hand gripper

Next do 2 or 3 maximum effort sets of moderate-to-low reps, and do this workout 3 times per week

You want to be doing serious, high-quality sets, one high-quality set is worth far more than 2 or 3 mediocre sets. Grip training is about strength, just as in lifting weights.

What you should not do, on the other hand, is endless sets of high reps, mindlessly clicking out reps on a gripper that is too easy for you to close. High reps will do nothing to increase your grip strength and will only shorten the life of your hand gripper.


  • Pros:

  •  

    Handmade in Austria

  • Top of the line gripper

  • Feel well made because they are well made!

  • Cons:

  • Don't have the flashy packaging like Heavy Grips or Captains of Crush have....BIG DEAL

Don't neglect extensor training.

Extensors are the muscles on the back of the forearm involved in opening the hand and are extremely important to hand health and strength. Wrap a thick rubber band around the ends of your fingers and open your hand for as many reps as possible. For a real challenge, place both rubber bands on one hand - TRY TO OPEN YOUR HAND! Buy a gripper from me and I'll include two thick, heavy duty rubber bands:
