I'm already working out with the standard grippers and the Imtug for thumb/whatever that meaty part of the hand near the thumb is. I'm interested in adding one of their wrist products- here's a list of them https://www.ironmind-store.com/Wrist_Forearm-Strength-Tools/products/41/
I already use CoC to improve my nogi game, I guess I'm adding wrist stuff just for general purpose strength. Wrist products seem to come down to, either a roller or a weighted-end hammer. Those seem to be the two big categories, there are a bunch of products in both (not just Ironmind) but they all seem to fall in to one of those two. Interested to hear if anyone has any strong opinions on whether rollers or hammers are better for real-world, general strength.
P.S. Does everyone using CoC grippers now close them with the 'credit card rule', where you have to be able to fit a credit card in between them? I'm a manlet with small hands, I struggled with this for a while but now I found something a bit smaller to measure my sets and it's perfect. I just use an Apple USB charger (the big bulky ones that come with the iPhone- with the fold-out plugs and the two USBs). Perfect size. With a credit card the gripper would sort of roll around in my hand as I stretched to fit it, even with chalk.
I always see people claiming that they can close whatever, a 1 or 2 or 2.5 or whatever, but it seems like without mentioning how far apart you let the handles go that's kinda incomplete information. Like saying you squat 500 lbs. but not mentioning you only go down a third of the way
