I started with a cheapo hand grip from Wal-Mart - I used it for a solid year, every single day, my junior year of college. I quit after that for whatever reason, but recently I found the grip again and started using it at work. I got back up to my old strength pretty easily - I can close the cheapo one now for 3 or 4 minutes straight.
So Lasereth got me into the Ironmind Captains of Crush hype and I ordered the No. 1 hand grip. I couldn't close it even one time with my left hand, and I could close it 3 times in a row with my right hand.
6 weeks later, after spraining my hand (literally) and ending up with callouses all over my palm, I can close the No. 1 nearly 20 times in a row with my right hand and 3 times in a row with my left hand - no repositioning. Those pussies on youtube that close it, open it, reposition it and flex their hand, close it, open it, etc. are just cheating!!!!!!
Either way, veins are starting to bulge in my hands and they feel like cinderblocks now - my hands used to feel soft like a girl's hands (not just the smooth skin, but the muscles too) - now my hand feels like a wooden plank. It's pretty awesome. Also, the other day at Food Lion, I picked up a 12-pack of Diet Mountain Dew by gripping it around the side instead of using the punch-carrier slot and I remember it used to hurt a bit - now I could hold it all day. PROGRESS
