I have no idea what I would be able to do.

If you haven't ever trained or used any sort of hand grip before, I would start with 80 lbs of resistance. If you've used a hand grip, ever, for an extended period of time, I'd jump right into the Trainer or the No. 1. See below - Ironmind offers the following:
Guide @ 60 lb.
Sport @ 80 lb.
Trainer @ 100 lb.
No. 1 @ 140 lb.
No. 2 @ 195 lb.
No. 3 @ 280 lb.
No. 4 @ 365 lb.
I use the No. 1. Not one person at my job can close it, tested around 10-15 people. I can close it 22 times with my right hand, but have been training for 6 weeks, and used a 60ish lb. one for about a year in college. My No. 2 is on the way!
