GHP gripper review and Level 7 MMS close

I decided to do a quick video review of the new Gillingham High Performance grippers and attempt a close with the Level 7 at the end.  I had previously opened and closed the Level 5 GHP on the day I got them from the Gripper Superstore so I already knew that these are fantastic grippers.

These grippers are available at http://www.grippersuperstore.com/store.aspx?cat_id=26 and in my opinion are a great value and will be an invaluable addition to your gripper collection.



In my opinion these are the nicest grippers on the marked currently.  Wade Gillingham of the Gripper Superstore really did a fantastic job taking years of gripper training experience and incorporating the best of the best into these grippers.  Here's a highlight of some of the many features:

-Beautifully polished springs that come already lubed from the manufacturer
-Consistent handle mounting depth
-Sharper knurling on the palm side handle than the finger side so the gripper doesn't slip around but the fingers don't get torn up as much
-4 lines on the finger side and 1 line on the palm side.  These were put here to make it easier to adjust your          hand position in order to make the grippers more challenging but it also makes it easier to position the gripper the same way every time you use it.
-Very clear and easily legible markings on the bottoms of the handles which make it much easier to get on video without having to zoom in or change the angle until you get a clear view.

-The bottoms of both handles are actually rounded instead of beveled which is much easier on the pinkie.  I haven't done many closes with these grippers yet but can already tell this feature will be a major advantage during higher volume workouts since the pinkie usually gets pretty tender from the beveled ends of other brands of grippers.


Anyway, without further ado, here's the video review with the Level 7 MMS close at the end.
