DVD Review: CRUSH – Total Gripper Domination
Are you looking for ways to improve your performance with grippers? Do you want to certify on the Captains of Crush, or finish higher at Grip Contests? Then, you should check out my Gripper Training Instructional Video.
Here is a review of the DVD, from Bill Long.
Thanks to Bill for his outstanding review.
When I designed this DVD, I wanted to make it very detailed so that you could literally follow along with the video improve your technique. Everyone has certain portions of gripper technique we need to improve.
Here are some common areas of opportunity that I often coach people on in their gripper training technique:
Gripper Placement
Where you place the gripper in your hand is very important. If you get this part of it wrong, then it has the potential to throw off everything else involved in closing the gripper. Closing big grippers is just as much about technique as is having a smooth jump shot in basketball or having a sweet homerun cut in baseball.
Thumb Training
Believe it or not, the thumb is also very important with grippers. The thumb acts as a base or foundation during the gripper close. Many of the guys closing the big grippers have big, meaty thumb pads which helps keep the gripper in position. But those with thinner hands can close big grippers, if you use your thumb properly, which is something I cover in detail in the video.
Last Two Fingers
Recently, I have read comments, messages, and emails from people discussing how much success they are seeing in their gripper training by putting more focus on training their last two fingers which help finish off the sweep of the gripper handles. Tools are sold to help train these fingers specifically, but I also show a couple of drills we have used in the past for last two finger training. One of them, you can make for about $5. The other one uses block weights. Both are easy to implement in your training without having to move a bunch of stuff around in your training week or having to play around with your volume. Most people will be able to just plug them into what they are already doing.
Mindset / Visualization
Right before you squeeze a gripper, do you think, “Man I hope i close this,” or even worse, “I probably won’t get this, but I will try anyway?” If so, I have some Mindset training at the end of the video that will really help you out.
Grippers are by far the most popular form of grip strength. Grippers are not only used by grip enthusiasts, but also strongman competitors, football players, track and field throwers, and the list goes on. With CRUSH, all of them can take their gripper training to another level.
And remember, Grip Training is multi-beneficial. Not only do you improve your hand strength for better performance on the field, but you also improve your hand strength for the rest of your training, and when you improve your numbers in the rest of your training, that will increase your sporting performance even more.
If you’re going to train with grippers, invest in something that will show you how to do it the right way for the maximum benefit.
All the best in your training,
Jedd

First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if
you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions
or hints? Kudos!
