    grip tip

    For those of you with captains of crush grippers, try turning it upside down and using it.

    I have mine at my desk here and doing that makes it harder. Probably makes your other fingers work more.

    Give it a try.

    You don't know what the "captain of crush" hand grippers are?
    Didn't you make a "hand strengthening" thread or something like that?

    I haven't used mine for a couple of years now. I wonder if I could still close the #2.

    OK, just tried. I got it to within ~3mm / 1/8" on the right, ~8mm / 1/3" on the left. Hmm, wonder why my right hand is stronger ...

    Are we talking about the little 2 handled spring thingies. I had a couple of them. Never did know what went with them. But over the years I have always kept a couple of those little foam rubber footballs around to work on. Feels more like grabbing flesh. I have developed quite a bit of finger grip. I can take off lips or ears probably.
    I was getting pretty well pummeled outside an eating joint one night and I managed, for lack of something else to do, reached up and took hold of my aggressors lips. Filled my hand up. I squeezed so hard and pulled so hard that he was screaming like a little girl. I did not let go until there were several police officers present. I kept slinging him around to keep him between me and his girlfriend and another of his buddies. The guy finally fell down and I was dragging him around by his lips. I had them stretched for a foot I bet. It is amazing just how much stretch lips have in them without tearing. Where my fingers curled around them they actually crushed and were bleeding inside the lip, which looked very bazaar. He had ideas of robbing me, but he will have to start using a gun. Strong armed robbery can get one into a situation he cannot get out of easily.

    I read somewhere that it's dangerous for the forearm tendons to turn the gripper upside down. I don't know if it's true, I just remember reading it.
