of the JB Gripper 
by Mike Frye of Grapplers Gym click here
Former world-ranked sprint cyclist. BWLA (British Weightlifting Association) Coach. Experienced Kettlebell and Powerlifting coach. I am a Professional weightlifting coach, have been training for 20 years and am a former world ranked sprint cyclist. I have been powerlifting for 10, Olympic lifting for 6 and kettlebell lifting for 5 years and have been using grippers daily for 2.5 years. I own just about every type of gripper you can think of..." I have just received my JB G Gripper and it's awesome! I have been using all types of grippers everyday for over 2 years and this is the best yet. I love the versatility of this gripper as you can move your hand between 200 and 400Ib by moving your hand up and down the gripper, which saves you using different grippers. One JB gripper has a poundage range of 5 standard grippers... so you get an immediate cost saving! I will let you work out the maths! ...You can slide your hand up and down the gripper to obtain different poundages. WIth the handles on you have 200IBS with my JBG, half way up you have 300Ib and handles off you have 400IBS. The other bonus is you have an extended range of motion when using the handles, which is particulary noticeable in the negative phase and this will increase your strength over a longer range of motion which will help when trying to close the gripper with the handles off. Now for me personally, the best point is negatives!!! Anyone who has closed a gripper and does negatives with a much harder gripper knows how difficult it can be closing against your hip and then trying to do a quality negative. With these grippers you can close with 2 hands and then position the one hand further up and do a brilliant negative. I have been working on an easier gripper for over crushes and a harder gripper for negatives... well now I wont have to do that as I have found one gripper that does all and I will now also be focusing on closing the JB F. |
Phil Pfister World's Strongest Man 2006 I have known some very strong guys. However, John is one of those super rare guys who is not simply among the strongest in the world but, is truly head and shoulders above the rest of us... When it comes to developing strength, John smashes through all barriers. He knows no boundaries... John Brookfield is a great hero, inspiration and friend to me and many of my other superstrong friends.
