While I'd be interested to try my grip on one of those, I'm not rushing out to buy a set. I know my handshake is firm and strong, so no concerns there.

I do know that I'm a bit of a paradox for strength and grip. I'm a desk jockey/scientist in my work life. But I also workout in lots of different ways. I also do a lot of physical work remodeling my house; plumbing, carpentry, etc. so I get more use of my hands than some people would expect.

I'm also a pretty big guy, so I have intrinsic strength. When I was lifting, my max bench was 275, max leg press was 1080. But I also feel like I do lack some strength in my hands.

Like I said, I'd be interested in giving it a go if I had a friend with a set of those grip trainers, but I'm not buying them myself.

How about an update from the OP? Have you mastered 2.5 or progressed to 3?
