Review: Quality gripper - They may be a little squeaky to begin with, but I applied some vaseline and it's good to go!
Review: Best grippers on the market - Been building up the collection of COC. Guide (G), Sport (S) and Trainer (T) and all good for warm up or high reps, the 0.5 is the first one that becomes challenging to close fully. (31yo Male decent grip strength but limited by small hands)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Shall I move up in point 5 increments or move straight up from trainer to 1?**
A: The trainer is rated to Trainer (100lbs resistance), and the No.1 (140lbsresistance) so you should be ok with this 40lb increase as it's not too large a jump.  The one up from trainer is 120lbs resistance so only 20lbs difference.
