The gripper that changed the world! You will feel the difference quality makes when
you train on the original Iron Mind Captain of Crush Grippers. It was Iron Mind that put
hand grippers back on the map in the late 1980s. Even today with a whole slew of
imitators, the Captains of Crush Grippers stand alone as the highest-quality grip
tool you will find and the undefeated leader in the field of hand strength development.
Now available in TEN strengths!
Begin your journey toward hand strength success
with the Guide and the Sport. The Trainer comes next followed by the #1, #2, #3, and #4.
Close the #2 and you have a grip you can be proud of. If you have what it takes
to close the #3 then you can be sure you have some of the strongest hands around.
The #4? Well, that's for industrial crushers only.
Rope climbing is one of the very best exercises for serious athletes.
If you are looking for a single exercise that will increase your
grip strength and train every other muscle in your entire body,

finest quality 3-strand grade-A manila and
come with a steel clamp on one end for easy installation and removal.
The other end of the rope is covered by a polyboot to prevent unraveling and promote durability
during heavy use. More info...

I've known for a long time that a big part of successful training is knowing the "insider secrets"
associated with a particular training method. For centuries, Indian
and Iranian wrestlers have been perfecting routines of physical culture
geared towards making them stronger, more agile, and ultimately
more successful in their chosen sport.
Now those "ancient secrets" are revealed in our newest offering
-- The Physical Body 2 DVD.
If you've seen the first Physical Body DVD, you're aware that great training information never gets outdated.
Old methods that work are always better than new ones that don't. The techniques shown here in
Physical Body 2 and Zoor Khane are time-tested and are a must-have for anyone who is serious about getting
better at wrestling, although the principles on which they are based will benefit any athlete, anywhere, anytime.

Want to be stronger than King Kong? -- I'm sure everyone would agree that rope climbing is a serious workout... There's no other exercise quite like rope climbing for building a "gorilla grip" and a sturdy back. Our traditional 1.5-inch diameter climbing ropes provide a number of interesting exercises for any routine.
...but more and more athletes have been clamoring for a new rope climbing challenge and so here it is:
By now it should be obvious how important stronger hands and powerful forearms can be to you; but the question still remains as to the best place to get started...
The foundation of every grip training program should be the "crushing" function of the fingers. This movement strengthens every major muscle in the hands
and forearms, and will also build strength in the fingers through a full range of motion which is very important for complete development.
Now, there are many good methods for training this movement - while you may be looking for some "new age" breakthrough, or "never-before-seen" exercise,
the truth is, one of the very best methods for building grip and forearm strength has been around well over sixty years... and now you can use it to start
building your own "bone crusher" grip - the Ivanko Super Gripper.

If you want to learn what it takes to be a Champion Armwrestler, Ernie Jeffrey can show you...he coached some
of the best in the game and put his theories down on paper. One of our scouts found a few mint

Almost two decades ago, Iron Mind revived the graduated hand grippers with their Captains
of Crush line. Back in the early days, there were but three: #1 (140 lbs.), #2 (195 lbs.),
and #3 (280 lbs.). Closing the #3, of course, was and still is one of the most respected benchmark grip feats.
A few years later Iron Mind rolled out the Trainer gripper (100 lbs.) for gripsters looking
for a good warm-up or a little easier jump from the store-bought variety. Then a few years
after that, the #4 (365 lbs.) was introduced as a sort of a joke but to date seven men have climbed that mountain.
Next up, the lil' guys hit the scene - the Guide (60 lbs.) and the Sport (80 lbs.). For many years,
grip maniacs were screaming for more stepping stones - grippers in between the current strengths...and now it's a reality!

Despite the recent surge in popularity of bodyweight training, I find a curious lack of one form of training
that I was sure would be making a comeback in a big way.
Even a hundred years ago, the famous "Old Time Strongmen" were known for much more than their
capability for hefting heavy weights. They were the proverbial "Jacks-of-all-trades" when it came to feats of strength and skill.
You will find very little, if any, modern sources on hand-balancing available anywhere...until NOW that is.
Thanks to strength author, historian and publisher Bill Hinbern, the lost art of hand-balancing lives again...
Years ago, Dr. Ken Leistner was introduced to an early version of the parallel
grip bar that Arthur Jones had devised at the old Nautilus plant in Deland, Florida.

and a few years later had his own version made up. Now you can train with the very Log Bar
made to Dr. Ken's exact specs.
Perfect for overhead pressing, rows, bench pressing and hammer curls, this Log Bar comes with a complimentary
Log Bar training booklet written by Dr. Ken himself and is ONLY available at FHS.
The first and only training guide specifically written for Log Bar training. This 8.5" x 11" 55-page training guide includes material by John Wood, Dr. Ken Liestner, Pat Povilaitis, and Brooks Kubik.

...well this got us to thinkin' - how about if we combined the great hand strength benefits of
climbing ropes with
something portable enough to be used just about anywhere and by just about anyone?
The result was the FHS CUSTOM SHORT ROPE.

These ropes feature all of the great components which make them the best ropes out there: top quality manila,
a steel clamp on one end for easy-on/easy-off attachment capability and a poly-boot on the other end to prevent
unraveling. These ropes are just like climbing ropes except that they are only three feet in length!
Perfect for carrying
in a gym bag.
